Can you give ball park figures for a full leather retrim. Front and rear seats. I know prices will vary with different option, but just a rough idea would be good. Also, can you put up a few pics of your work. Cheers

Hey mate, leather is damn expensive! about $100 per square meter. Its ridiculous, but... Its leather haha, you pay for what you get. I could trim your front and rear seats in leather for ABOUT $2500-$3000. Depends on how much time is involved in trimming your seats.

Ive come across a VERY nice vynal that i love using and im even temped to put it in my car because its only about $40 per metre and comes on a roll thats 1.4m wide. Its actually quite an expensive vynal but if your not willing to pay the full price for leather, then this is the way to go for sure!

i could do front and rear seats for roughly $1500 in this material.

I will post some pics up in about 10 minutes and all the seats that look like leather are actually done in this particular vynal.

oh and by the way those prices are for your average seats, GTR's are NOT average seats haha, much more time consuming. but atleast those prices are rough numbers you can work off.

Okay thanks guys

That looks awesome. I'm really interested in getting something like this in around Jan next year. Everything is a bit mad atm. I wouldn't mind seeing that vinyl to get an idea of what it feels like. I might give you a call a bit closer to the time

Hey mate when you said rear trim inserts... Did you mean in your seats or your door trim inserts?

if you supply material for handbreak and gear boot ill do the 2 of them for $60, but it has to be UV treated material... Well it doesnt, but if its not treated it just wont last very long in the sun thats all... No huge deal, probably last years anyway haha:)

Let me know

its like the door inserts but there isnt a door at the back, if you know what i mean, the material is leatherette. what i have been told is that it is just a cheaper version of leather

[jamer33]

Hey mate, i can do the whole lot for $250. thats all 4 doors and the gear and handbreak boot. Given that you take your door trims off and you supply the material

Thanks mate

Hey James,

I rang during the week regarding some wood panelling for my Van and at same time retriming my GTR seats, well i though i'd show a few pics so you have a better idea of what I was on about

I have bought this VW Crafter for work

The load I am carrying although reletive light, is tall and tips over from time to time and is leaving pressure dents from the inside out on the Skin, so was hoping you could cut out and trim van with some 3 ply wood or similar like van below (Red area only)

As for the GTR I am sourcing a pair of these Sparco Sprint V seats

And need the Back seat , and door inserts trimmed to match.

I will call you next week when you have ABN

Cheers

Lindsay

BTW, can you get the 'Sparco' label trimmed into the rear seats...?....if so would that be gay..!..

[jamer33]

Hey mate yep i understand what you mean about the van. theres gotta be some way around it ill have to have a look at it first though. I would have to find sumwhere to mount the board etc. Or if your not too fussy maybe we can just put a thin but strong layer of foam to take the impact? We'll sort it out next week:)

and yes i can put the sparco into the rear seats for ya:P

[jamer33]

Hey guys ive been getting heaps of pm's from this thread regarding getting trim work done. I just thought i should let everyone know the reason ive been taking so long to reply to everyone is because ive recently moved into m new house / workshop and i havent set up the net yet:(

I come on as often as i can, but if your keen on an instant responce your better off giving me a call!

Okay thanks guys
