Hi mate, I'm in Leeds by the way, but it depends on how much you want to spend, we've got MJ Interiors right on our doorstep in Baildon, Bradford and he's renowed throughout the Golf world and mags and a lot of his work is in the Golf+ mag on featured cars. His website is www.mjinteriors.co.uk If you want to re-trim in cloth he'll cost you ?400 - ?450. Have a look at his website anyway there's a price list on it.  :smiley:

Apart from MJ Interiors there seems to be bugger all round this end, if I get anything it's normally from websites or the shows. In my experience so far it seems better to buy from shows as you can't tell the look or quality properly over the internet.  :sad: What is it that you are after ?

it'd be quite hard to find genuine cloth or even something similar so you may have quite a hard job finding someone to do it unless your not bothered about keeping it original. even so it'll cost a few hundred. it may be worth getting them done in vinyl and an imitation alcantara as these cut the cost of a re-trim down alot!

mmmm cream, I'd considered that.

I'm considering having a go myself but... hmmm

have a look in your local yellow pages for retrimmers and visit them and ask to see examples, there'll be plenty of small companies abou tthat'll be cheaper than MJ.

I'd say it's order over the t'internet then or buy at the shows. If you do find anything up this end, let me know.
