Diy Retrim

[dinger1983]

ok so got my new v6 sport interior so now have me standard trimmed old seat that i want to give a bash retriming iv dun a bit of triming before on my mate corrado with good results and a happy mate

i will be looking to sell them when im dun but im looking for possible intrested people and suggestions for a popular colour scene ie all black leather or black with either red, blue, white, silver carbon effect if i can get hold of it

and if anyone is wondering why not do it for myself i wanted a spare interior for a test run

[AlanDITD]

so basically your saying is your good sewing :D


Good idea though, as the seats are ugly as hell.

[mesobitchy]

oooh i like the idea! i say black with cream leather :D

cream back rest an seat with black bolsters with black piping.
cream head rest with black piping .

how much for something like this tho?

[dinger1983]

ye i can sew it aint hard i can cook to and clean a man of many tallents why do you thinks the wifes with me lol
i recon cost of materials thats varys depending on real or faux leather will prob do the first in faux to keep cost down incase i mess it up but once i have the patterns it wont be a problem + a bit for the work but no were near the cost of an upholsterer

[elnevio]

There are often a few standard interiors simply being binned due to lack of interest in them too. This may be a useful source of base interiors to retrim?

[dinger1983]

ye i asked aboo for his old interior before i bought my new one but he had binned it

[mesobitchy]

well i be after it in real leather.
once your sortted i think i will have a set :)

I got rear seats out of the car you can practice on, and im looking for a rear seat re-trim.

Sounds interesting...
I'd be rather after faux leather as cheaper option. Can't afford interior more pricey than my car. /lol

if there was a way of getting the interior out of this breaker to you you could have it foc maybe if there is a club member up your way any time soon?

[Turbo_Steve]

Hmm..I've got a set of Tan leathers you could have if you wanted them, too?

Think you need a definite price, and you're likely to get some interest.

If you REALLY want to whet peoples appetite, fine a way of making the factory leather seats hold you a bit more tightly before re-upholstering, and you'll be beating people away from your door!

A compromise between the leathers and the recaros would be very very popular IMO.

where are you based. i am heading down to carls place soon to pick some stuff up, if manchester or liverpool way is better pickup point for you then i would be happy to transport them FOC of course for you.

but you would have to pick them up from my house soon after i pick them up for carl's as my wife is very understanding but complete interiors in the lounge will not go down too well for long, even Vicky's very good nature only goes so far.

let me know Dave

[dinger1983]

got my practice interior just now ill have to see how that gos before i even think about attacking someone eles seats

but i am st andrews which is the first issue with doing interior cps i know it cost me £120 worth of fuel getting to manchester and back whn i got my v6 interior

[Davezj]

"Is there anyone going from manchester to st Andrews way by any chance in the next couple of weeks" now that would be a good thread.

[dinger1983]

i never got any replys to that wen i asked few weeks ago

[Davezj]

shame! it would be a bad to see a perfectly god interior go in the skip, i know a few have gon that way resently.
