Sarnie Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Wouldn't of thought the seats would be a problem but the airbag on the steering wheel would concern me...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I think one of the wheel manufacturers (possibly Momo) have an airbag wheel that you can have trimmed in a range of colours / materials. A decent tradesman who can stitch leather well should be able to do a steering wheel without too much trouble. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphil Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 trimming the wheel is no problem for an experienced trimmer we have had loads done on a wide range of cars all with airbags. Our local trimmer has done a couple of 350's seats cost about £400 in two colour with logo's stiched in the seat back can't remember what he charged for the wheel.

GIXXERUK Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 £400 is a steal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Amanda did wonder when you would get a retrim. She was a bit disapointed that the seats didnt match the rest of the car, which she was very impressed with I think you need pay another visit to Sunderland and get a retrim done, £400 sounds a very good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone posted a thread some time ago about a re-trimmer in the Glasgow area who did a good job but I can't remember the details now. Maybe a search would be worthwhile. Edit - It was a company in Kirkintilloch - Scottish Motor Trimmers & Upholsterers Ltd. The importer I used (MacKays) quoted me £500 for leather seats as an option when I bought the car - he presumably had someone in the Edinburgh area who did the work for him.

jim Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 only real problem is the steering wheel he quoted £250 just for that cheers Paul Was this for re-trimming the whole of the rim, or just the lower half as in the standard Alezan interior trim?
