re-trims

[Grainger]

i no re trims look sweet, but how do u go about gettin it done? and how much u lukin at?? i no it aint cheap! also has any1 had a go at doin it themselves?? if so any tips please.

schaffino (sp) leather do re-trims from £750 I think. but you are probably looking at 1k to get a full re-trim! doing it yourself? I would guess the back seats and door cards wouldnt be to difficult, i wouldnt attempt it tho unless I had a spare set just encase!

[SaxoAL]

Shaffino Leather were doing them at a special short time only offer of £550 + VAT at one point.
Not sure if the offers still on though. I know of a couple of people who have had theirs done quite recently.

EDIT: Have just found out, it now costs £699 including VAT from them, which is still good !

Check out the website

Didn't Scott do his own re-trim?

Or did I dream it

[Grainger]

nice 1 for the link but it doesnt work mate. it says it is incorrectly formatted. that 699 doesnt sound 2 bad tho.

[SaxoAL]

No, you're right Scott did his.

[SaxoAL]

try the link now. I have updated it !

[dannyelks]

I knew I wasn't seeing him in my dreams

[Grainger]

thanx 4 that mate looks good. preety cheap aswell. im quite new 2 all this tho wot does a full retrim include? is it just the front and back seats?? coz wen i see sum in the mags all the dasn and doors r done aswel?

[SaxoAL]

I know schaffino leather do the door cards aswell as all the seats. If you ask them nicely aswell, Im sure they can do the gear gaiter, handbrake gaiter for a little extra aswell, as they are bound to have left over material.
Not to sure if they do dash and roof linings though. That you would have to mail them about.

that sounds quality. got a problesm now tho ive got about 600 quid spare n ive just found a place i can get a flip respray for between 500 - 600! dont no if i shud spend my money on that, the retrim or wheels??????

[SaxoAL]

retrim I say. Its where you have to spend the time.

[Grainger]

i suppose thats were ive gota sit n luk at it but its the respray what gets the heads turnin! i thought it woz out of my budget but no ive just found out i can get it done that cheap im very tempted.

[Scottp]

flip respray for 600 quid, hmmm does that include the paint its normally around 100 quid a litre upwards and i mean steeply upwards. Not to mention that it will probably need a different couloured base coat, plus all the labour needed and 600 quid sounds a little to cheap

[Grainger]

i no i have been lukin into it and it is for a while and it is realy cheap. its a bloke i work with sum1 he knows does it n hes had a job done himself. he sed the 5-600 is just all the outside, i can get the inside done nxt month wen iv got more money.

Where for that respray mate?

any contacts?

[huggy54]

does anyone know where in LONDON u can get re-trims done, u guys outta london have got it way 2 good.
plus anyone know where u can buy door cards as my 16 cm speakers dont fit in the front doors

[SaxoAL]

Scrappies for door cards, as they will be alot cheaper from them , rather than Citroens.

As for retrims. look in the yellow pages under 'vehicle upholsterers'. Some may be very expensive though!

i really wanna get a leather interior for my car too when the time is right (i.e. when i actually have some money!) my m8 just bought a 106 gti and that has the leather interior, looks well smart, wanna get one of those interiors off of ebay or from a scrappy one day

[Dan]

u'll be lucky to get a 106 gti leather interior as they are very rare plus will be expensive! ive been looking for ages!
