New Carpets

[Tom Lyden]

Thinking of maybe keeping the Griff now as no one wants to buy it. don't know why...Anyway.. If I'm going to keep it I was thinking of getting some new carpet in the car, perhaps change the colour. anyone know the cost of a full carpet change. Thinking of maybe black carpet.
Anyone had their seats collonised..if so again how much?

Mate of mine spilt Lucozade on the carlet on the shelf behind the rear seats. Orange on grey is not that good a combination so I would be interested in the proces as well

Had my Griff 500 done. The best automotive carpet was used and it took around 15 square metres! It's because of the shapes. Price, the thick end of a grand. Looks great but then it should.

I'm glad my seats haven't been 'collonised' by anything! I think you mean 'Connolised', as in Connolly leather.

I hear it's good for restoring colour but won't change one colour into a completely different one. Although I did see some clever paint in a Europa catalogue a few years ago that claimed to do this.

Veg,

Is that fitted or not? Where did you get it done?

[Marshy]

I've asked a number of different places about a retrim for my Chimaera, and they've all muttered something like "about 500 quid".

I'm now scared that when it comes to it I may be spending more than that. Gulp.

Upthe..
Got them fitted by Tony and Julia Coburn who live at Blunsdon Hill just outside Swindon on the A417.
They have been in the buisness around 30 years and they are rated as if not the best near as damn it the best. They only take on your buisness if they like you and your car! No probs. for a TVR owner.
They are a great couple who do this as a hobby as they don't really need the cash. You have to meet them to see what I mean. They do hoods too. Call them on 01793 721501.

Good God ... there are/were one/two small white cottages at the bottom of Blunsdon HIll about 1981/82 ... cos I used to live in one of 'em!

Going towards Swindon on the left ... just at the start of the hill. Blimey ... takes me back! Had a layby outside.

Are they still there anyone know?

[David Beer]

MikeyT , i look out of my window and see your old house. The very nice lady is now serving a spell !!
Iam in the old farm house on the right going up tut hill.

[Tom Lyden]

Right then.. just booked the car in to have the carpets done. £650... not bad ah?

[MikeyT]

Where's that from Tom?

Looks like you've decided to keep it then ... you know it makes sense.

Yep...it is staying... what a great feeling...
P Wood Motor bodies in West Cliff Essex. £650 for new carpets and fitting. Having said that, I'm also having the whole front end re-spray to get rid of the chips...800 notes..ooohhh...
Should look like new by then though...

[simpo one]

One your front end is shiny and new you might want some Armourfend to keep it like that. Before the respray it's also a good chance to reset/change the headlamp covers if they're not perfect.
