I thinking of flashing some cash and having my seats retrimmed and was just wondering is anyone here could shed some light on costs involved..


so anyone on here had a bench and seats retrimmed and not mind telling me how much it cost?

I don't really like leather so was thinking dark grey or grey bolsters etc.. and some kind of custom retro looking centres like a chequered pattern

Got a guy who re trims VW stuff he's good and on his own so keeps cost down but does take a while due to popularity he would need to see what you wanted doing for a price

Try Stan Chilton. They are old skool trimmers. They are in Derby just round the corner from me.

When ive had prices in the past for full leather seat retrims they quoted me from £1200 to £1600. If its not leather your after you would be looking at around £800 I would think

Have you ever tried stripping a Nova GSi seat? I have.. not easy at all. The cost is in the labour.
