UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

any ideas what sort of price ya would have to pay to have a rear seat from a new polo recovered in black nappa leather with grey alcantara centres
i nearly fell over when i got a price for mine to be done

Best to look in www.yell.co.uk or www.scoot.co.uk and ring around different reupholsters.

But if it's leather mate, it will never be THAT cheap especially as you want two different colours

Sounds nice though

L 4 Leather in Sheffield (full interior in two tone leather with thick piping) = £1000

the problem is if they havent done one before they need to make a template, which is where the extra labour costs come in

Alcantara can be more expensive than leather. Go figure.

OTOH, there's less waste when using the synthetic Alcantara.

Says he that phoned an upholsterer today...

I am paying 1300euros to have my gt interior covered in alcantara and leather. Hoodboard also is done then, as are doorpanels, ...
Color makes no difference..

Bart, this is at T&T? I need to go there then! Are you convinced they're good? I mean, some of the remarks made about Tim's car were kinda, well... true. Still looks amazing though. But it's a couple of little things that had me wondering. I'll say it again though; his car is the sh1t. Especially with that interior...

Edit:

I added you on MSN, in case you were wondering who it was.

i know the material aint gonna be cheap
but he gave me a price of £850 to do the rear seat ?
then a further £100 per door panel and they were only getting half covered = 1 quarter leather / 1 quarter alcantara the other half as is

I am pretty sure Tim went to "de geet". Normally they have an exceptional reputation and they are cheaper than T&T. Every work I've seen from them is really good. Tim's car looks great, but as you said..

My price is from T&T. Check out www.carleather.be for their work.
In my eyes they do not suck at what they do They start on my car monday the 29th.. So you'll see the pics 3 days later.. Hope the result is what I am expecting..

Cool, thanks for clearing that up. I'll try and reach you later, to bother you some more on interiors and stuff...
