Chef Unregistered C	Decided to take a drive out to West Sussex to drop my wheel off to Joe @ Trimdeluxe. What a nice bloke he is and he does all this work in a lockup no bigger than a double garage!!! Joe was busy working on a back seat for a Vaxhaull Victor but had time to show me round Also had some nice ideas for other bits inside the Coupe Should pick my wheel up next week

proccy Unregistered P	Originally Posted By: addict proccy, how much to "re-bolster" a leather seat? addict - he's now quoted me £80 to re-trim one bolster - sounds good to me so i'm going for it it's also obvious that whilst there will be grain in new leather, any car approaching 10 years/100k miles is going to have a smoother surface. i'm looking forward to getting mine worn in....
