Right been speaking to broster & also doing alot of thinking...

broster says do a retrim in smoke-grey or something inside the car, nothing too bright or anything & get some smoked irmcher rear lights... euro smoked fronts too...

but interior is the fun bit... What do I use to retrim & how? Don't want to go crazy with leather, want something soft, nice & easy to work with, aswell as something which wont break the bank!

Looking to trim it all, roof, b b and c pillars, doorcards & front door pockets, bits of dash, parcel-shelf...

any ideas/suggestions?

cheers

sarah - sounds like a plan!

thinkin do dash bits like MFD (screen when i sort it) dial surround, air vents & centre console only... but fabric blue or spray??

tempted to trim the whole dash in fabric too, but worried it would look pants

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40199&item=7960800190&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

check this out

2 hides should be plenty for a full retrim. door cards are easy. seats just get some old ones to practice on. strip the material, un stitch it and use them for templates. cut out the leathert, stitch it back together and pull back over the seat.

yeah, typed that wrong. half hide is 35+p+p. but for what they are, the half hides are still a good size.

Yea they aint bad,

I would be a little worried about the quality as that is a very low price,

Also not really so disirable colours
