Had it done by Carisma in Colchester. When I wanted it done I had no idea what I wanted so I went to see Jamie Shaw (top bloke btw) and he advised me on what was the best leather and alcantara to use and what colours where available. Leather was from a company called Andrew Muirhead and the alcantara had to imported from America. I wasn't sure about the alcantara dash to start with but once the rest of the interior went back in I was sold. Glad I went for matching Recaro rear headrests as well finished interior off a treat instead of the standard more rounded rear headrests.

Really pleased with the quality of the finish you can look at a retrim and look at the stitching and see that it doesn't line up with the other side but the stitching on the seats etc is evenly spaced all round. Was also surprised how well they managed to get the leather to fit the door trims looks factory even up close!!!
andyorion, if u dont mind me askin, how much roughly was the whole job on your interior retrim? looks stunning
Thanks for your comments.
It was Ł3,000 for the total job with a further Ł500.00 on brand new Ford seatbelts alot more than I wanted to spend granted!
Before you ask yes I was close to getting myself commited when I realised how much it was. But it is the result I wanted for a job I had planned for ages and despite what people said to me at the time it is a car I have owned for a long time and wish to continue owning for a long while to come.
Here are two better quality pictures of the interior to help you see why I am pleased with the outcome as those above don't really do it justice.
The carpet mats have been replaced since these pictures for a set which match the seat colour a little better too as the red piped carpet mats didn't really go
cheers.doesnt have to be in a s2.any will do for some colour choices
