that looks rather sexual to be honest, might have to look them up when/if i get my plans sorted out.

Like that they have done the boot too. Did they do head lining and all pillars too?

Sorry slick not sure what bits you mean? Do you mean the roof?

yeah the roof, and the pillars - the bits where the doors close onto, parts up the sides of the windscreen, the bits leading down to the boot.

No roof didn't need doing it is in really good condition. No didn't get pillars done. Want a new carpet too now. Better start saving up!!

Wow, what a difference.  :shocked: You really notice how tired the old fabric looks when you see the after shots. Good work.  :cool:

If you're after a carpet check these out, they are reasonably priced but there's fitting on top if you're not doing it yourself --> http://www.newtoncomm.co.uk/index.jsp

Who did the retrim and if I may ask how much?

MJ Interiors near Bradford, it was £1050 plus £440 for an auto electrician to sort out the stereo wiring (plus a few other electrical probs) and to panel out the boot. Broke now  :cry: but at least my car looks cool!  :smiley:
