BRING IT BACK TO LIFE

[ChopperTVR]

I am looking to bring back to life the leather interior of TVR Tuscan.
Has anyone had any experience or can recommend this type of workshop in the Essex area. Not looking to replace, just bring it back to life.

Thanks

No experience but have had this web site stored away just in case my leather needed a freshen up

LTT can supply products for diy or alternatively put you in contact with a local technician.

OP, why not do it yourself, kits are available to do whatever you want (refurbish, change colour, repair) and are available here....

I changed the colour of my seats from Wedgewood blue to grey, the result is really good. Takes about a day to do +1 day to dry, i would gladly do this again.

Seriously do this.

Kit is about £100 and will make the seats look and feel and even smell like brand new. You will lose the stiching colour but not that important imo especially when the end result is so good.
Its quite easy to do as well, any mistakes are easily rectified too making it even better.

Do you have any before and after pictures of this? My Cerb has Wedgewood Blue leather and is looking slightly tired in places now. Can the colour be changed to anything, within reason?

Before pictures,

After pictures




Blackberry photos only, so the quality isnt great.

If you choose to do this, 2 tips;

Buy extra cans of 'air' (Hobbycraft)
Seperate the seat backs from the bases.

The one above doesnt show the colour, so here's another

Looking at the website, it would seem so, I think there is a red to cream one in their gallery.......(runs off to check)............

Wow, that looks great. Those bolsters look fantastic. I think I'd need my driver's bolster retrimming first though as its a lot more worn than yours look in that first shot. The colour change looks fantastic though. Tan leather with a pearl blue exterior I wonder...

[Harrytsg]

They do fillers for repairs, but the improvement to the bolster cracking you can see is just from the colour change.


I dont work for them by the way.
