Re-trimming it yourself? Its very possible.. can you sew? do you have a heavy duty machine?

I have a How To Guide from MR2 Owners Club on how to DIY retrim seats, if its of any interest.

yea would be a good read i guess. my aunti is a seamstress so she gonna help me. am doing the car on a budget of nothing lol. so far its working ish. have kept costs really low by doing everything myself, but spent some cash on parts. i need my interior sorted as its shortly going to be the only thing to let the car down.

If your on a budget then dont buy a spare interior, re-trim everything apart from the drivers seat and then do that over a weekend or a couple of days when you wont need the car..

Will just find that link.

that is the worst leather retrimm i have ever seen.

what a waste of money and leather! let the pro's do it unless you are any good with the sewing machine, unlike that bloke.

I'd use Vt* seats as they are a sportier seat design that the lower models!
