#1: Leather Seat Kits - Auto Trim Essex Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 2:51 pm ---- Just found these guys on the net by accident
could be a roughly £500 way of having a leather retrim to your seats. iirc thats half what an upholsters would cost you.
fitting them yourself shouldnt be too great a task with a bit of patience. and sum tips off internet and tv (wheeler dealers )
i may give them a call this week and see whats what.

#3: Re: Leather Seat Kits - Auto Trim Essex Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 3:06 pm ---- yea definately, ill ask for a quote on a standard kit (2 tone leather) and lets say some coloured stitching for front and back seats and a bit spare for my door card inserts and ill post the quote here.
im sure they will get a lot of business if its good ill also ask about a group buy discount.
stay tuned
#4: Re: Leather Seat Kits - Auto Trim Essex Author: Anony-X, Location: NorwichPosted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 3:06 pm ---- nice idea, but a full leather interior sets you back around £250-£300
#5: Re: Leather Seat Kits - Auto Trim Essex Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 3:10 pm ---- yea, there will be a chunk of people who will just say 'get a gti/180' interior, but i personaly dont care for either of them.
And all the second hand half leather interiors i have seen have rips, cracks etc in them.
so this is definately an inviting option to look into.
#6: Re: Leather Seat Kits - Auto Trim Essex Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 3:18 pm ---- would be interested in cream leather/suede retrim..... would imagine you'r looking at £200ish....
#7: Re: Leather Seat Kits - Auto Trim Essex Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 3:28 pm ---- yea i was thinking cream tooo hehe
or i was thinking matt black leather, with perforated center panels with some red or white stitching or something, you know something subtle but still unique.
im seriously considering using that di noc carbon fibre stuff to do a few bits in my interior, so something like that would compliment it well, continue the grey and black mean theme im going for with the pug.

A decent retrim will set you back around £1500, and something that seems too good to be true normally is. Try and see some examples of their work before you shell out £500 hard earned.
#9: Re: Leather Seat Kits - Auto Trim Essex Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 3:35 pm ---- i got a cream interior atm.... am tempted by a black and grey one tho lol.

There's a guy in denmark that has a full 5-door leather interior with all the alcantara trim bits for sale, but it's 600 quid
comes from a collection edition like mine tho, so i know they fit

#13: Re: Leather Seat Kits - Auto Trim Essex Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sun Aug 08, 2010 4:45 am ---- ah dude, yea i always thought about nicking the leather interior out of our 406, but i dont like shiny/glossy leather, as it just reminds me of those nasty cheap tarts boodwa leather seat covers in halfords.
so thats why im looking into this company, see what they can offer, at the worst, they dont fit, i phone them up and give them an ear ache untill they either refund me or send me the correct kit.
#14: Re: Leather Seat Kits - Auto Trim Essex Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Sun Aug 08, 2010 4:46 am ---- though i amwondering how i would het the covers on the head rests? hm lol
