Sorry to hijack, but all this retrimming looks uber expensive... What sort of money we talking?

probably about 700 hundred i think, for getting the standard polo seats done and doorcards. maybe more

black with white stitching will look incredible.

love the way yours looks in your g40 :D

what about dark grey?

My mate got his seats and door cards done at a very very reputable place and it cost around £1,500.

The trim was outstanding though, really really nice trim.

id go for cream OR tt baseball seats :)

tan

^^^ tan would look so right, plus it goes with lots of other colours too which is good for resale value

Think you looking at 800+ for a pair of front seats and a rear bench, more for seats and door cards. Not a cheap thing to have done.

My mate's got a Saxo, and his mom retrimmed his front and rear door cards in black leather for free.

Looks very nice, she's gonna do the rear seats too but he's buying some front OMP ones that are already leather.

I'm gona see if she will do mine for the cost of the material, I'm stripping the rear anyway....

anywhere from£600 upto £1200 (mj money)

Get yourself a sewing machine and do it yourself!! Theres guides on the net how to, I discovered I got a spare seat in my mates van so I'm gona give it a shot in some cheap vinyl off ebay and take some pics when its done!! If youre patient and cut all the bits to the original size it could turn out pretty good!!

any ideas what this website is chris? fancy a go at that aswell got pleanty of old seats to destroy
