leather trim - Update - with pics, page 4

[synthedup]

Hi all,

The car is going to the upholsterers next week for the dash and centre console to be trimmed in carbon leather with a red stitch.

Question is does anyone have any good photos of one already done? Iv see the dash but not the centre console, any pics would be great

Ps, pics to follow tomorrow not the car has its KW coilovers and CSLs fitted

Sounds nice, what's the damage for that sort of job?

[synthedup]

I'll let you know tomorrow night, I'm going over tomorrow for them to take a look tomorrow evening for then to quote

Looking forward to pics of this. Its something I want to get done.

I'd be interested to know the cost and quality of job on this

I have the one off eBay on the centre console and it looks a bit naff

I'd warn that the sport button won't fit back in if its a thick leather wrap, though

A good upholsters will thin the leather for areas where there are buttons or folds.

Takes some time but they should do this as standard.

Do the Aplina's have the sort of thing you're after?

Looking forward to this. I approached a couple of local(ish) re-trimmers before Christmas and niether would take on the work. I assumed is was too intricate and wouldnt have enough margin in it for them. Anyway I'm respraying mine now

Just been to the trimmers, he's quoted £80 to do all 3 pieces in a carbon leather and red stitch. I was expecting more like £200. It's booked in but not till
the 28th March pics will follow. I offered to double it to £160 if he could do it sooner and gaurented me perfection, he said he can't do it sooner due to how busy he is, but can gaurentee perfection for £80. If it's as good as I hope I'm sure he will be getting some work from this forum

that does sound cheap

you'll have to get your name down on the turnpike meet and show it off

[russ67]

I'd love to see this. Does sound cheap

[MrPT]

Haha no he's a chap in Barnsley, he's been working for a company for years and now started working for himself a few months ago, his work looks top notch from what I saw tonight and his workshop is lovely, lets wait and see what the end result looks like
