Im sure Marks back today, and the guy he know's turns out some amazing work on Porsche's  :wink:
Did Dan not get back to you regarding this? I know he can get the Carbon effect leather as ive seen some of his work in this. Check this link to see his work http://www.no-rice.com/forum2/showthread.php?tid=358 he can do pretty much anything you want.
I asked him about embroidering headrests etc which he can get done but the initial set up is £100 so if enough people want it the price will come down drastically.

Hey mate!
No I haven't heard from him. You know I'd deffo be up for that if we can get a few others interested  :wink:

I know he has been having trouble with his compoooter lately. I sent him a message last week to say you had been trying to get hold of him and what it was concerning. Gotta be worth while, if we get enough people I will ask him again.

I have been looking to get the GTI on my seat's done in stitching for a while. I was pointed toward's MJ interiors' near leed's he is suppose'd to be the dogs danglie's anyway took a drive up there last saturday.
 To get it done perfect the GTI has to be stitched on a new piece of leather then that piece fitted centrally. This would entail buying a full grey leather VW hide then stripping my recaro's down  :shocked: As you can imagine for that little mod it was big £££
In total i wanted the above done plus stitching done on the door card's and steering wheel done, plus new gaiter and hand break leaver leather it came in at well over £800  :drool:

This MJ chappie said anything like that need's to be done on a machine to get it looking right even taking the leather off the headrest causes probs, when trying to re-stitch back on using the same holes for the stitch he say's it sound's easy but is ab!tch.
Even the door cards look easy to re-stitch but he says they cant be done properly without replacing the leather on the card and the foam behind it.  :cry:
