You may have to put me in touch with your retrimmer. My seats may get retrimmed with a fresh set of high quality leather some time in the future :)

Whats the cost if you dont mind me asking? PM me ;)

Looking good dude, I think I prefered them in chrome but I think they are still going to look smart in red.
Top job on the spraying too, must be handy having a spray booth in work :)

I might have to match you with the hidden tail pipe too, getting sick of mine catching now
