Anybody had there leather retrimmed?

[jeardley]

Recommend anywhere lads ? Roughly how much for the seats complete.... was thinking keeping it black throughout but going far a much better quality leather i.e like in BMW's.

Cheers in advance for the advice

Jim.

whats up with yours duck ???
my newly aquired leather recaro trim will be going to my mates autotrim buisness for a bit of minting up.

theres a huge difference between original shite or good and reconolised correctly recaro leather.

its a whole lot cheeper to reconolise your original stuff too.

you won't ever see me riding on shite scratched leather

Ayup duck... mine are orate, just think they will let the car down when its finished. Whats reconolised leather then? sounds good.... mind if i have a look at yours when its done?

i need some small bits to sort mine out Jim,one of my door cards is broke so i need a door card and both door pockets,i could start robbing bits from my recaro cloth interior but mines heated recaros so its complicated.

reconnolised seats are when the auto seat specialist trimmer repaints the chair.

as my mate keith the seat once said to me..................

Karl have you ever seen a red fucking cow

some people seem happy to spunk loads on their yet drive around oblivious to the fact their drivers seat has really seen some action.
same goes for scratches,theres nowt worse than a nice scratch across a otherwise mint leather back seat,i would get it sorted no probs.

[jimcallear]

I had both my front seats done jim i think i payed about £50-80ish i've got the number for the bloke still and he will come to yours and do it i had about 6 deep scratches on mine and he made them go

[jeardley]

Cheers fellas.. food for thought

Fancy going for a complete retrim tbh, dont mind paying a bit extra for real good quality leather.

Pmsl at red cows

[richyx]

ill need to get mine done when the time comes, my sisters cat decided to use them as a scratching post

[COZZFATHER]

jim tbh and i'm not knocking anyone but some of the retrims i have seen are fookin shocking,the leather is all over the place,stitching looks wonky.

i wish i had a pic of the genuine rs2000 mk2 roll top seats keith the seat had in earlier this year,they looked like someone had punched them in the face as they looked swollen because the person who trimmed them was a utter spazz,he had to pull them apart and go again.

my mate also restuffs the padded foam,recaro seat bolsters suffer from fat arse syndrome where the foam padding collapses,Keith sorts that out like new and then when repaired or reconolised makes for a like new Recaro seat experience.

deffo make sure you see a trimmers previous recaros that have been retrimmed as like i say some are ropey

theres a bloke who does it in leicester - does work for all top marques, cloth for leather re trims and fancy stuff like full on interiors with dash's an all that... ive used him in th past ... hes the bollocks... will see if I can find a card and his details Jim.

Damn Stokies

[cosmagedon]

Karl is that the dude in buckley? hes sposed to be shit hot I will be getting mine refurbed over winter

[COZZFATHER]

nah matey,i know buckley its my manor and cliff barford is the bloke your on about.

fella i know is in deeside now but did it from chester for years and is called chester autotrim.

he's better than cliff and i dunno if cliff reconnolises,keith the seat does all sorts of main dealers and car specialists even the bloke who owns scimitars cars ltd trimming and all his cars at his dealership,you have heard of graham walker on bumpers lane by the footie ground ??

all local trimmers know each other and know what stock they each carry so they don't have to have a huge warehouse full of material.
they all swap and deal material its the way of the game.

[The Radman]

complete leather retrims are usually around a grand or so,depends on what sort of leather you want it doing in,as prices can vary a lot more for the real good stuff

[cosmagedon]

Yea i know of graham walkers, and it must be cliff i know well when the time comes for my seats to be done ill get his number off you cocker.
