Hi all, had my driver seat retrimed the other day and very happy with the results! Thought I would share a few pictures with you all. Gave it a good valet while seats were out to!



Seat looking a million times better

Very impressive Yes

You do realise you should probably just state how much it cost before everyone asks, right?

Great job. Trimmers normally have trouble with restitching leather as a machine won't match exactly the holes there already and it bumps the price up a lot to hand stitch it.

Yea thats what he said its time consuming as its done by hand. However his work has a top reputation and is used by porsche, bmw ect and various insurance companies so I was more than happy to get him on board!

    I use a George -wet version of a Henry. You wet the seats carpet etc and then it sucks the residue out like pornstar with a cleft palete.
