been looking for an interior trim kit like a member had.

 

 

does anyone know who can supply this? if not then can anyone advise how i can DIY this? My wife is a pro at stitching work :)

would it be cheaper to buy in metres and trim myself? i reckon i could do the dash etc.. but i think the seats might pose a sa hard task.

thats steves interior. custom retrim. cost him over 2k iirc

well i have made up my mind. gonna buy the materials and give it a bash. i am a quick learner when it comes to practical jobs. I will start with the interior minus the chairs and then think about what action to take with the chairs. just cant find anywhere to buy the leather aprt from online. trying to fidn a store of fabrics

well worth a try mate. give it a go and see what happens

thats BERRICA's interior. custom retrim. cost steve (lol) over 2k iirc

 

:p

i went looking into the difference between PVC leather and Genuine Leather.

 

Obviously the look and feel of Genuine leather is a plus but i think PVC (synthetic) has SOME better features for the car..

 

Mentiones that

 

Pvc sags less over time, Fades less in sunlight, Doesn't need as much care as genuine becuase genuine is like the human skin and needs treatment and moisturising.

 

The biggest downfall was it is more flammable than genuine leather :(

 

now obviosuly we would all prefer genuine but at £75 for 20metres (£25 for 5m) for nice looking cream PVC leather it could cost around about £100 with the Leather Needle and stitching for a fairly descent retrim. I will be going for piping

 

yes it is not as nice as the real thing however compared to the Tweed i have it is a plus

i think pvc is the best way on all but the seats chap... easier to work with and stretch round them tricky corners! id stick to leather on the seats though to keep them harder wearing :)

that a good idea. best see if i can find the leather seats before choosing the trim colour
