Jamie Shaw is one of the best retrimmers in the country, not cheap but his work is top quality.

Transcal are very good too, but I think they're based in Scotland.

ideally need to be around here, the seats have just been trimmed but have stretched a bit

I think the guy with the gold Escort might be able to help you out. I think his username is Tillio or something.

there is a guy down here nr slough who does retrimming for aston martin's

im popping over there tonight to chat to him about a few things

Out of interest, what should a basic retrim in standard black leather cost? Front and rear seats only.

Ball park figure anyone?

Daviet

think transcal charge about 1200 coldo but a top notch job

i was told 900

Coldo

Hoooooooowwww muuuuuch!!!!??

I was expecting about 500 sheets max for front and rear seats!?

Thats that idea out the window then

M7 COS

I think for £1200 they do the doorcards as well.

Rossco

Tillio uses Goldsmiths in Ipswich, dont think they are that dear either

Daviet

the person i know who got it had a golf 5door and she got front and back cards done aswell.was also in 2 colours.
coldo youd be cheaper trying to sourse seats from a better model

Coldo

Aye, thats the next idea, all the goodies i find for my car seem to be down south, then i get skinned for postage aswell as the cost for the item itself

Theres a place down in Barking Industrial Estate on the Ripple Road that does retrims to a high quality. Lost the business card, but you should be able to find it by driving up and down the Estate.

smokey: is it anywhere near Flow Craft? that used to be where pipecraft were?

i dont actually need anything retrimmed as the seats are mint, but the base are slightly stretched and i want some padding put in the bolsters!!

smokey

Never heard of Flow Craft I'm afraid mate, but I'm sure the guy can sort you out.
I don't know how well you know Barking, but you get off the A13 and turn off where theres a Shell Petrol station. The Industrial Estate is opposite a cementary.

essexrsturbo

yep, i no the area very well as i live there, think ill go take a trip
