Hi martin

cheers

i had mine done for £100 in black alacantra, but the guy said its really difficult to do

 

black alcantara, sounds alright, any pics?

 

How does that stand up to wear compared to, say black suede?

 

hi lads

sounds good but just want normal leather

 

im just putting the car back together after a couple of years off the road so i dont know how it will stand up to wear an tear yet, i had the gear gator done the same to match.

 

hi martin

spoke to them today they dont do it any more

anyone else ?

 

aldridge trimmers in wolves..got two done there one with moonstone stitching and one with black..both top quality

 

really? i'm shocked at that!! is the leather ripped at all? because they used to just tidy them up and dye them a few times to get them looking new if a retrim wasn't needed.

 

marco call me asap

matt

 

hi martin

hi mate

i have spoke to them they want 80 +vat im not willing to pay that no way




marco

 

Aldridge did a wicked job on mine, quality costs, its a hand cut and hand stitched job so to be honest its a pretty decent price IMO considering the time and effort spent on it. Good luck getting yours sorted whoever you use

 

hi mate

Im just being tight to be honest , if no joy then ill have no choice ill speak to matt first

the steering wheel just for the escos not my 3door wihich is just a track car



marco

 

Get the Mrs on the job Marco, women all know how to sew ....

 

Marco let me know where you end up getting yours done i want my standard one done

 

Anyone else had one done in alcantara? Does it wear better than suede?

 

for that kind of money you could have a nice motorsport wheel mate....got to weigh it up..if your stuck on staying with ford wheel then it's money well spent. Personally I am going for a nice aftermarket wheel.

hi dan


i know mate but the 3/4 spoke is a motorsport wheel ill have a think about it

marco

 

Marco,
I can get it done for you for £85 inc return delivery for you. Perfect job, just ask anyone who has had one done .

The alcantara can go smooth if you have sweaty hands - just check out some of the steering wheels on the CSLs...

if you want to be tight

 

Same as the suede then I guess - just wondered if it had a better life expectancy or whether it was Sparco gloves time

 

Hi Mike

thanks for the offer , Matt is giving me a number to ring first localy , if not then i should have the tyres next week
i can always meet up give you the tryes and the steering wheel and go from there

cheers marco
