New Interior for under £300 inc carpets!

[superdave]

I posted a topic previously and told you how I renovated my leather and fitted new carpets for £400. In fact, I made a mistake, it was actually under £300!
New Carpet £235.00
Adhesive £10.00
Liquid Leather & Dye Kit £42.00
Carriage £10
Total £297.00

To see before and after pic, just click onto my profile. I didn't get a before pic of the complete interior but I did get the driver's seat.

So are the pics Seat01 & Seat13 the before & after pics of the seat?

It's quite a difference, what did you do?

Cheers

If you click onto my profile, there is a topic on renovating leather and also carpet set. I haven't gone into detail how difficult it was to fit the new carpet. It was quite awkward to get the old one out as it is totally glued in. I haven't a garage anymore because I converted it to an office, so I had to work outside in the rainy and cold UK climate. Also had to work in the dark (couldn't wait in the end). The main thing on the redying is patentience. My car was off the road of 2.5 weeks total. If yo were only doing the dying and you had access to a garage or the weather was good, it would only take about 4-5 days. 1 day to strip, 3 days for prep and spray, 1 day to refit.

Where about do you live? Both sources are from UK. I originall wanted to get Leatherique but could find anyone locally. Gliptone who make Liquid Leather are in Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK and was only 1 hour drive. To get a good match, I took my head rest with me. I was also a bit sceptable about the product and it being mail order and wanted to see it for myself. Carpets are from www.sjsportscars.co.uk £199 + vat. They are in Devon, UK on [phone].
Complete dye kit is from www.liquidleather.com or tel: [phone] for £42.00 + carriage £5.00? and consists:-
1. Highly concentrated leather cleaner.
2. Liquid leather conditioner. This softens the leather and gives the permanent leather smell back into the seats. Apply this first if your leather is very hard so the dye soaks in more but you will need to clean it again.
3. Leather dye 500ml to match colour sample.
4. Hobby spray gun and 2 aerosolls refills.

Apparently they supply direct to Jaguar. They also supply direct to a large furniture manufacturer called DFS in UK.
