You heard the saying "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

My seats and door trim are red anyway and I think the same colours as yours will look great, the only thing is my seats dont have a gap in the head rests

alancdavis · May 24, 2006, 21:55

If I recall,,,,on precision trimmings web site it shows your type of seats in red and black s:D

s:D ,,,,or is it black and red s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

also consider a logo on the seats,,,it makes them more individual s:!: :!: s:!:

my quote was wating for me when I got home

hi Perry

The price for re-trimming your boxster seats and door inserts in two colour leather if we have the colours that match with porcshe logos will be
£695

so its either £100 for embroidered logos are porkers are £100 more just for the sake of it??

alancdavis · May 24, 2006, 23:13

My seats were 495 plus 20 for the logos,,,,,I guess the type of logo and style of seat may change quotes slightly s:)

so we have just seats and embroidery carried out at £515

A quote for £575 for seats and door trims

porker seats and trims and embroidery £695

and in Norfolk seats , door cards, door pulls, rests,gear gaiter,steering wheel, console struts and a centre armrest for just over £700

The embroidery is a nice touch with the huddersfiled mob it has to be said.

Nigel could you let me have the aidy etc for this Lee please, would like to research this one further.

Problem I have is that the car is already completely covered in leather inc dash etc (porsche green s:shock: :shock: s:shock: ), but I'm not overly impressed with how its worn/stretched on the seats.

I dont want the dash out and covered so I need to blend any new covering on the seats in with the rest of the car, so ideally I need to find someone who does a lot of colours so they can do some panels in the same or very similar green.

porsche connelly leather is rather dissapointing in all honesty. its a shame its a bank holiday coming up because i start my new job on thursday and need the car after that s:? :? s:?

Okay Perry, the addy for Lee, the chap who did mine is:
e mailto:lee@leekiley.wanadoo.co.uk">lee@leekiley.wanadoo.co.uk e
He is helpful in sourcing leather from different manufacturers to suit your colour scheme. We spent a long time searching for an alcantara that wasn't available anywhere, but got the colour leather I was after in the end. I was satisfied that we'd done sufficient research by the time I chose my colours. (These would not suit all, but I use my car only accasionally and wanted something different.)
Mention my name and the forum by all means, he is a one man outfit and willing to do what you need him to.
Good luck matey.

are you other guys having black as one colour? possibly that is cheaper as I have asked for two colours (no black) and they probs have loads of black to use off cut etc instead of haveing to buy two hides?

If its just the fact that its a porsche and they think I'm minted then they wont be seeing me! (plus I'm not minted s:cry: :cry: s:cry: P)

I'll mail him now Nigel

cheers bud s:D

s:D

how long did he take to 1] get the hides you wanted 2]do the work?

loadswine · May 25, 2006, 10:30

He got the hides in a few days and took a week to do the work. I took all the bits out of the car and up to him on the Saturday and picked them up the following Saturday.
If you need it, his phone number is:

Ok, I think i've seen this answered somewhere else, but I did search and i did not found it. If someone can point me to the correct thread, please ignore me.

Here is my question.
I was told from a leather fitter, that if I remove the seats (4 bolts + 1 wire) then when I start the car, there might be problem with the air bag!!!

Someone that is 100% sure, please answer me, if I remove the seat, will there be any problem with unwiring ?? Will the airbag be ok ?

Thanks a lot, Simon.

alancdavis · May 25, 2006, 18:24

belive me... s:D

s:D no problem with air bag
I started mine with no seats in and it was fine,, s:D

celmacmat · June 1, 2006, 10:18

I also had my seats re-trim. Black leather, yellow stitching and yellow embroidered Midship Runabout eagle...

Had them done at Pete Lenton Specialist Car Trimmers in Cheadle Hulme.

Cost was £500 + VAT for the Seats and £58 + VAT for the logo.

That also enclude fitting the heating pad from Tem...

However now that they have the matrix for the logo, having it embroidered should not cost more than £10 s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Excellent job, the seats look great... s:D

s:D

judged by yourselves...

Look great Celine - can't wait to see them for real.

Mine are getting old and tired now - time for a rethink soon. I take it Pete Lenton do cloth as well as leather? Maybe I should ask for an orthopaedic bead mat to be sewn into mine s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Spit....that is CLASS... s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

I guess he probably does re-trim in cloth as well...if you want to ask his number is 0161 485 2164 or 07768 302 428

If you fancy a pair in Red leather, i am selling one on eBay. I posted the link in the private sale section s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

very nice,,,, s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

heathstimpson · June 1, 2006, 19:04

That looks to be a top job. The yellow stitching and eagles give enough to match to the body colour without being too loud as with a total yellow interior.

That was what i was aiming for s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I did think of having the inside panels in yellow when i bought the car, but then i saw the yellow spyderchat post...and blimey s:shock: :shock: s:shock: after seing some of the interior trims...i change my mind s:? :? s:?

Can anyone recommend where I can get my seats re-trimmed in South East? Or where is best regardless of the distance?

At my local Toyota dealer they have some 06 MR2s with alcantara seats - which look great and don't sting as much when they've been in the sun. Has anyone any experience with these as I've heard that alcantara wears much more quickly?

Many thanks

Al

I live in the south east and was more than happy to travel up to Norfolk to get my retrim done, great work and great value.
Have been using the car for some months since the retrim and have no problems at all.
