A rough cost.
« on: March 22, 2010, 08:45:20 pm »
Just in the process of doing some maths to see if it is worth while me purchasing these:



I love the bucket seats and have wanted some for a while. I may be able to get my hands on a set like the above. The thing is I'm not to keen on the fabric. Does anyone have a rough cost on getting them retrimed in leather? Two front seats and the rear bench.

Just so I can give myself a rough idea before I jump in. So anyone who has had a retrim or could do one for me....... (Luke  :wink:)

Cheers
Ollie

 :scared:

Hmmm back to the calculations then!  :laugh:
I thought maybe £500-600  :grin: :ashamed:

I am hoping I can get these for cheap as a mates mate is selling the car with them in. If the trim is 1k they will still work out cheaper than a leather set that went on ebay the other week. The bonus is they would be basically brand new and I could pick the colour/stitching.

When I went to look at them early I notice they do not fold forward very far due to the big bolsters. Are they all like this? Also are the cloth ones heated like the leather?

Cheers Paul, thats good to know. If I had the fronts done in OE leather I could use my existing rear leather bench. And it would work out fairly cheap too.  :happy2:

There is a place in Warrington by me that Vick N recommends is good for a retrim.  :happy2:  I think StokeBalloon got his steering wheel re stitched there and the price was very reasonable.  :happy2:

There is a link somewhere on here.

I have my fingers crossed! My mate is trying persuade to his mate, who has the seats in his car, to remove them and sell them to me! I will have to see! I am hoping!  :party:
