Hi guys.

Just thought I'd formally introduce myself. I'm Alex Knight and I work for Toyota GB in Portbury,  Bristol as a leather trimmer.

Me and a colleague have decided to start trimming leather in our spare time and have decided to start on MK3 MR2s.

At the moment we are just gauging interest, and if many people would want a leather kit retro fitted by us.

We are only doing the MK3 MR2 at the moment, and there is a vast choice of colours, and mix 'n' match colours (ie: Red outside edge, and Black inside). Basically, we can do whatever you want.

The kits themselves consist of both front seats, and both door panels.

I am just sorting out a price at the moment, but rest assured, it will be competitive.

So, if you would like, or are interested in this service, stick your name down so we can gauge some interest.

Many thanks guys.

Alex Knight.

Quote me happy!  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:   Have you got any pics of previous work?

Would you do the retrimming at your Toyota Garage or at home? The reason I ask  is would you have access to the MR2 stamp!

Also I don't want full leather, i'd ideally like black leather middles and red Aclantara suede on the side bolsters..possible???

Cheers,

Mike

Just doing leather at the moment guys.

Errrm, as for previous work - just go and look at ANY MK3 MR2 with leather in it. There is a 50/50 chance I will have leathered it!

I do this, day in-day out for Toyota as my job, and I have been doing it for over two years now. There will be NO quality issues I can assure you.

Sorry guys, forgot to mention that the work will be carried out my colleagues workshop in Weston-Super-Mare, which is where we live. It is a few miles south of Bristol in South West England.

I am aware that Toyota Dealers charge £700 for this kit inc. fitting, and it will be safe to say that we will definitely undercut this price quite easily, although the price has yet to be finalised.

Sounds better each post! Still interested in full leather, primarily wanted suede on the bolsters to prevent the leather cracking getting in and out..no biggy.

So it will be the same leather supplier as Toyota? Sorry for all the questions but i'm getting excited!..but could you also do stitching as per the Audi TT IE baseball stitching..

Yup, same supplier that Toyota use. Very nice leather indeed. Can't do the stitching on the seats as yet, although I could talk to our supplier and maybe try and see if we could do something similar in future.

As for how long. It will probably take around 4-6 hrs start to finish.

ditto as well, may be interesested for the right price.

would you do a straight swap for the seats as well. i.e. a newly covered set for the existing unleathered seats?
