Another step getting the LE to its former glory. smile

Just got the seats refurbished. Wanted to get it retrimmed but due to costs, these would have to do for now.

No need to leave the car with anyone most apulsterers will require you remove the seats they will not want the liability of looking after the car laugh

Its done by my local detailer's contact. The guy comes in to his premises whenever leather work is to be done. Harsh as it might sound, the leather is sanded down, filled, and recoloured. Not cheap though.. Its around £120 per seat.

Kelv that's a great job at a great price - even if you have to have it done every year it'd be worth it ooo

Yeah considering the amount of work done, its a great price. I'm just thinking in the point of view of Refurb vs. Retrim.

Refurb 2 seats £240
Retrim 2 seats £700

Retrimming with new leather would probably be more cost effective in the long run. So we'll just have to see how long this lasts..

Its still with them Micky. Car is being worked on by the detailer and the powdercoaters next door. I think it only takes the leather guy a day to do it though.

Not sure if they to refurbishments Mario..but they definitely will retrim your seats smile

Knight7660... I'm sure any leather repairers can do it. Even if they advertise themselves as furniture repairers. Or you could even do it yourself with kits sold by furnitureclinic

For the northerners there is a place in Blackpool that does this, name escapes me but I'll be back later with details and a link, my seats will be off there soon, I've seen their work on my mates 911 and it's superb. Nice job there Kelv.
