Re trimming

[sp1ash]

Wonder if anyone can help?

I need to get the rear deck of my Griff re-carpeted as the existing has faded and is crumbling away.

I would be really grateful if anyone could recommend someone in the Cambridge area - don't really want to pay for the "dealer mark up" if I can help it.

Many thanks

Hi

These guys have done some work and have been recommended on this forum

I will probably be using them for a complete carpet on my Chim in the spring

They dont charge Vat either

I have heard good things about Pounds too. He was very helpful when I needed underlay and felt etc. for my car, so I would use him .

Another vote for AR Pound - they retrimmed my Chimaera and did a great job...

Any pics?

[Chauch]

No probs - I have sold the car now so cannot take any better ones buthopefully this gives an idea:

Anybody in the South East worth recommending?

[TheGriffalo]

Thanks Chauch.... I'm sold

How long did they take to do that?

[Chauch]

From memory they needed the car for about 3-4 days.

The price was actually not much more including fitting than a Coverdale carpet set on its own!

[TheGriffalo]

£2-300 ish for a full retrim?

[Chauch]

Was £400 all in from memory.... Coverdale wanted well over £300 for the carpets alone.

[TheGriffalo]

That's pretty good. Do you know if they do bespoke leather work as well?

Good god!! Is that all?

• thinks about adding it to his list

[Chauch]

They had quite a few classics in and were doing all sorts of work so I would certainly expect leather work to be offered.

Martin is a really good guy. There was quite a long leadtime to get my car booked it, but I saw that as a good sign...

Not surprised at prices like that. I was quoted £800-£1000 for a Griff!!!

That's because they have to remove the hanging mechanism for the gold medal and chain that all Griff owners seem to have .. it's a hefty piece of kit

Presumably the gold medal is for having the best car? Unlike the medallion worn by Chim owners?

Surely that's a golf trophy?

AR Pound quoted me £450-£600 for a Chim re- carpet depending on carpet quality and they need 3 days.

There was around a 10 week lead time in Dec
