Hi guys,

Been thinking now that the exterior is how I want it. I have been thinking of splashing out for a full leather retrim with red gti logos stitched into the seats.

I have never been keen on the design of the seats with the arrows.

Just wondering if any of you guys have had one done and the costs involved. Would I be right thinking that it costs about 1k?

Cheers

Can range from anything like 600 for just seats with OK quality leather upto 2k+ for Bentley/Porsche Leather with specific stitiching and engraving as well as door cards/pillars/headlining

Depends where you go and how much you're getting trimmed.

The price I got was

Front and Rear Seats - £780+ VAT (leather and alcantara)
Doorcards - £600+ VAT (leather and alcantara)
Parcel Shelf and the plastic bits either side - £250+ VAT (leather)
Rear plastic boot trim - £120+ VAT (alcantara)

Got a price for the headlining as well.

Headlining and pillars - £450+ VAT (alcantara)

This was from www.ClassicCarServices.co.uk the leather is what Aston Martin, Jaguar and Saab are using at the mo

Didn't realise how much doorcards alone were, did you get a quote on any other things Tom? Like massagers/heaters/coolers being put into the seats. I'm really tempted to get the fronts retrimmed with massagers built in.

Nah, that was just for a straight retrim with contrasting stitching

Silly question but what do you mean by alcantara?

Here you go mate

Q: What is alcantara?

A: Alcantara is a man made, synthetic material which looks like suede. It is washable and a lot harder wearing than natural suede.

Q: Is it more expensive than leather?

A: It is slightly more expensive than leather.

Where are you getting your done and what you exactly getting done cymrupolo?

With regard to the re-trim on the door cards, is that for the full door card or just the red/leather arm rest bit?

If you get the chance Alun, can you ask about putting the massagers in the front seats. Really really want to know prices

Thanks a lot, are you going to go ahead with the place that's like 100 miles away from you?
