Looking to get a couple of bits sorted on my McL. Alcantara panel behind the seats with the usual issue and a hole in the leather on the passenger seat base. I'm on the Cambs/Norfolk border, any recommendations welcome.

Not used personally but I know my local Porsche dealer uses “Dave The Trimmer”, not super local to you but not a disaster either.

Not sure they’re the right people but there’s these guys in Colchester too

Out of interest OP, what is the usual issue Re the panel behind the seats? Is that just where the seat rubs against it?

A bit of a drive from you but I've used Trim Fix in St Ives, Cambs.

He's very good.

Auto Trim in Leicester, 0116 2169920. I used them for trimming when my business was up and running. Gray Paul Ferrari use them for all their trimming, which is a good enough testimony for me.

Correct. Had this on various Lambo's, was hoping McL would have put some sort of stop to keep them from touching.

Hmm, suboptimal but I hope you find a good fix. Any suggestions on how to prevent this? I’m 6’3” and am maxing out the seat travel to get comfy (or will be when it actually gets delivered) - concerned about this issue you’ve had and also rubbing the CF section behind the seat. Thinking of putting something incredibly soft in between but not sure exactly what or how to avoid it looking sh**.
