Recommend a good retrim..

[pinky]

Iv been looking round for a good place to get my seats retrimmed ..been quoted
between £700 - £900.
Dont want baggy leather..can anyone recommend anywhere in the Southeast.

Get a 172/182 interior instead for about £400 top whack ?

A full re trim is a waste of money imo, unless your going down the show route.

agreed^^

Yup, just what i was going to say.

The ff interior will also look loads better, and original.

Retrims always look... like retrims.

Arnt they half leather half cloth? cos im not too keen...what about a willy interior, their full leather aint they? would it fit?

A williams interior isn't leather. You could maybe get leather from a valver though, although tbh it'll look a bit dated in your car plus finding a decent leather valver interior will be hard.

How long do you intend on keeping your car ?

would have to agree wityh other peps. re trip is exspensive + your not likly to get the money back on resale

buy a ph1 exclusive or an initiale clio swap the interior for yours then sell on, doubt you would lose much.... or even better find a exclusive or initiale being broken and get the leather, its not as nice as the sporlt one though

Have you seen the interior on a 172 exclusive mate ?? It's not exactly that err, nice !

 

[Dcds4]

yes mate i test drove one, uber gash grey, but its leather!

 

[cat171]

I'd rather have an interior I liked than one for the sake of it because it's leather tbh mate.

 

[Dcds4]

Yes me too, thats why i said id rather have the sport one, but person seems to really want leather, i think they like slippy slidey seats?

 

[pinky]

OK this may be out of your price range but theres a guy called Nick Fulcher based not far from Hethel in Norfolk who used to be head trimmer for Lotus but he went independent.

His work is simply amazing and he'll retrim pretty much anything in pretty much whatever you like....but it may be pricey.
I can get you a number if you wish.

Yeah nothing worse than that when your tearing some 'twisties' a new arsehole
