Good old Yellow Pages.

Just find vehicle trimmers, anyone of them will quote you...

try Martrim in Northwich. They are reasonably priced and they do an excellent job (they do all the trimming work for Christopher Neils dealership...but you cut CN out by going direct)

Found a place in Sutton, Surrey who've quoted me ballpark figs of £200 to reconnolise both seats, and £150 to replace base and side of drivers seat if required. Plus Paul's a Tuscan owner too ...

I'll do one for £17995.
Plus you get a free Cerb with it.

if you're down at APM on Saturday, ask Andy about seat repairs. Mate scotty's black Tuscan is there at the moment, his seat bolster has collapsed and Andy is getting it it done by a company on the same estate. And judging by my experience of last weekend, it'll be well done and good value too!!

cheers

ps from another thread, but just how many wife credits do you need to get a pass for Le Mans? whatever the cost, it's worth it!!

If you get seats done then you need to get both done at the same time to ensure you get a colour match.
andy at APM gave me a quote for my two seats - think it was around £200 for the pair.

Blimey - that's a good quote! I went to AutoTech in Sutton, Surrey, and he broke some interesting news to me.
My 4.2's a half-hide, 6yrs old, so has the "canvass" stuff where there's no hide. He was telling me the only parts of the car actually leather are the "perforated" parts - in other words, the seat base (the bit your bum sits on), the centre seat back (the bit your spine pushes against, the centre console armrest for the driver, and same parts of the back seats.
Apparently the rest if vinyl?
Is that true?
Either way, he quoted me £600 to have both front seats completely recovered in biscuit leather - about 3-4 days work.
I was also quite interested in having the "canvass" parts replaced with leather/vinyl to change the car to all hide interior.
I'm down at APM this Saturday so will ask Andy for his thoughts - thanks for the lead - I'll let you know how I get on.
