J-F-Customs leather products on ebay?

Recommended Posts

So i was thinking of doing some leather trim pieces in the Zed, found the above retailer who sells tons of leather products, they seem to have leather for almost every panel in the Zed :scare:Here

 

They do a leather door panel skin you can fit yourself, lots of colour options

Im thinking of just buying a leather handbrake boot to cover the existing plastic and to test them out. Was thinking tan stitching to go with the Alezan seats:

Or maybe even this?

If its good, both have matching gear gaiters

Anyway was wondering if anyone's had experience with their products or any thoughts?

I put a centre console cover over the middle of my old VX220, the fit was, okayish. It didnt pull tight over the console and the stitching I remember left a fairly raised bump it wasn't flush. I had my seats in my second VX done by a top top guy last year (he does the seats for Bentley!) and the difference is night and day - but thats also reflected in the price!

I’ve ordered a gear gaiter from them off eBay at the beginning of the month and they’re not manufacturing at the moment with the lockdown. You might be in for a wait. 

They say they will be back to shipping orders on May 5th. Can you post up results when you receive and fit?

This is definatly one of those areas where you get what you pay for, might have to buy a small skin to test. Gaiter is one thing, but the fitment of a skin over a panel will be soemthing else.

 

How did you fit yours on your console? im guess some kind of leather glue?

I actually ended up using carpet tape I think just in case I got fed up with it, it would be easier to reverse. I think the major bugbear for me is the joins where its stitched is done very poorly and you end up with a large ridge, compared to the work done by hand by a professional the difference in final look and feel is huge. But like I say so is the price :thumbs:

@coldelThe carpet tape didn't bulk it out? I think one of the ways they get a good fit is by shaving down the leather to make it thinner, giving a more even finish on edges etc

 

Oh and was the piece you fitted to your VX220 was from this retailer?

 

Another other option is a leather vinyl wrap:

I messaged them, as im ready to order some bits. Got a quick and great reply. I asked if they did anything for the center tunnel and i was suprised with the response. Just waiting on the samples.

 

Hello there

Thank you very much for getting in touch with us. Please let us know which item numbers or links you are after, as well as which sample number you are after from the attached colour chart and we can find out the price for you.

Alternatively we do offer samples to be sent in the post so you can physically match the colour, here is the link:

Regarding the console, we will purchase the console for your model so we can make a template and so will have it ready and listed in 5-10 working days.

Best regards

I’m pissing laughing reading your comments... I’m trimmer myself (16 years specialised in high end vehicles, aircrafts yachts...) and I tell you one thing... poor finish or not once cover is stitched it depends only on skills of the person who put it on... so something like bumpy console?... let me tell you something... you need to know some tricks how to put it nice... that’s what your Bentley guy charge for... experience... just do not give up... carpet tape won’t do the job... if you expect professional results use pro adhesives etc... however About stitching you are right... I’ve seen some things from them and it is a little pi**ed... even that can be improved if you know how ;)
