leather interior change

[P15UL T]

i am looking at getting a retrim done and wasnt sure about the steering wheel, can it be done ??

if its too much of a hassle is it easy enough to swap the wheel if i get my hands on a black leather one ?

has anyone tried it ?

 

perhaps there is someone close by that would like alzean inetrior rather than black ?

 

thanks for looking guys

Wouldn't of thought the seats would be a problem but the airbag on the steering wheel would concern me......

i'm not sure if that would affect your insurance as it probably would'nt have an air bag ?

 

i'm sure you could get the wheel done but i imagine its pricey - labour intensive

 

damn ! got in before me

 

what colour are you thinking of paul ?

[H5]

I think one of the wheel manufacturers (possibly Momo) have an airbag wheel that you can have trimmed in a range of colours / materials.

 

A decent tradesman who can stitch leather well should be able to do a steering wheel without too much trouble. Go for it!

trimming the wheel is no problem for an experienced trimmer we have had loads done on a wide range of cars all with airbags.

Our local trimmer has done a couple of 350's seats cost about £400 in two colour with logo's stiched in the seat back can't remember what he charged for the wheel.

lomoto knows somewhere........

[P15UL T]

thanks guys, i am going to visit the place today, hopefully they will be open and i can get some prices and ideas , will let you know how i get on

 

£400 for the two seat seems like a great price - might be worth traveling down

[lomoto]

Surely you have to go for "shredded purple" - like the hulks undercrackers?

£400 is a steal

[Chris`I]

Amanda did wonder when you would get a retrim. She was a bit disapointed that the seats didnt match the rest of the car, which she was very impressed with

 

I think you need pay another visit to Sunderland and get a retrim done, £400 sounds a very good price

hi carumba !!

[P15UL T]

 

wow !!!

 

 

spoke to the fella today, quoted me £800 for the seats

 

i asked hime for a cash price and he said we could work something out , so im waiting on some samples to come in that he didnt have

 

only real problem is the steering wheel he quoted £250 just for that, i understand there is a shead load of work in it buy cant really justify spending that

 

so im on the lookout for a black steering wheel and black handbrake , if you know of any zeds getting slavaged let me know

 

cheers Paul

how much cheaper ? it would cost me £100 in fuel to get down there the money to stay somewhere the night

and i suppose then if there is any comebacks down the line, sagging ect that could be a pain in the arse

 

they made a top job of yours

 

why have you got a spare handbrake leaver ? did you change yours

Where is the place you were getting the quote from? I think someone posted a thread some time ago about a re-trimmer in the Glasgow area who did a good job but I can't remember the details now. Maybe a search would be worthwhile.

 

Edit - It was a company in Kirkintilloch - Scottish Motor Trimmers & Upholsterers Ltd.

 

The importer I used (MacKays) quoted me £500 for leather seats as an option when I bought the car - he presumably had someone in the Edinburgh area who did the work for him.

Was this for re-trimming the whole of the rim, or just the lower half as in the standard Alezan interior trim?

[P15UL T]

im hoping for the whole wheel as it has orange stitching round it

[MattOak]

Did this go anywhere? I want to change the leather on my seats.

[3FIDDYZ]
