I think if you go to Carisma or sum one, they will slowly pull down your pants and start to spank your arse with a big orange 'Tango' hand...

It will cost u a fair bit!

Brian there was a white polo with full white leather interior in redline a few months back. Apparently it was all done for ?850. I'll try and find out who did it and their number but you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I was looking at getting a full leather re-trim, I've been quoted around ?800 for the whole of the interior, headrests, the lot. It depends on what material you want.

i know a good place in stockport, who did my roof. a guy called Rick & its his own private company - Auto Retrim. PM me if you want his number.

I'm sure he could do the seats & door cards too. Have a look at my pix to see how good it looks.

I've been quoted ?800 - ?2000 in the past for a full re-trim. You won't get a price unless you start phoning round the companies themselves. A lot of the time they will need to see your car to be able to give you an acurate quote.

Lol

best interiors bar none- www.Mjinteriors.co.uk

Anyway- i did this myself...

http://www.novaload.net/images/car_images/72big.jpg

Cost:
Roll of alcantara
Lots of leather
Lots of skin lost from stitching.
The seats i retrimmed were free (cheers breeny mate)

Not really very expensive for me then.

But soo satisfying doing it myself. :lol: :D

My option is cheapest I rekon! I didnt even do a retrim in full! Just get some glue called copydex for fabric! Stinks of fish!
Some hard wearing fabric and roll up edges and stick! Still on well now and looks mint!

Will try and get pics tomoz!

19-02-03, 12:30 PM
Ha im gonna be laughing in all your faces when u see my interior! I got pics from when it was first done in my white 1.2, still with mk1 headrests, but now it had mk2 headrests front and back!

My scanner is broken so I will goto a mates later and get them scanned coz i gotta prove a point here!

They arnt peeling off at all and still look mint! Copydex in large amounts works a dream even if it is fishy!

Promise it looks as good if not better than a retrim!

19-02-03, 06:45 PM
For ?20 do a couple of lines of COCAINE (edited due to smart ass and i was tired when typing original) or a few pills and it might look good-otherwise its gonna look wank.

Stick on stuff :lol: pmsl

whitey
19-02-03, 07:55 PM
HA Freak im going over my mates to get these pics scanned now, you will be surprised! Obviously it aint leather or alcantra but it looks MINT! and is ?20

19-02-03, 08:24 PM
For ?20 do a couple of lines of crack or a few pills and it might look good-otherwise its gonna look w**k.



Lines of crack eh??
crack is small rocks hence the name rocks and cocaine is normally snorted in lines!

You know what freak fcuk you! Just coz you spent a fcukin fortune getting your seats retrimmed!
Im only trying to help people who cant chuck away money and have the shockin normal nova interiors!

listen mate theres no need to get abusive towards people, just take it easy.
i was gonna comment on how good it looked for ?20 but i dont think i'll bother!!!!

whitey
19-02-03, 11:52 PM
Nah i aint gettin "abusive" just knew all along that freak would say that no matter how it looked and even he knows that! Bein playin it down sionce I mentioned how i did it! Sorry all, just dont appreciate it sometimes specially when im trying to help and save people money!

MattyWoo
19-02-03, 11:58 PM
Fair enough mate. Well now we've got that out the way i think that looks quite good for ?20. depending on the quality of finish u get from it.
Where did u get the fabric from??

whitey
20-02-03, 12:05 AM
Just local fabric store, you know one of those that been there for like 100 years and you neva pay any attention to it!

Just went in there and asked the old woman for her hardest wearing fabric with a quality finish, she sorted me out with a few metres for like ?5, the glue cost the most since i used loads to be safe!

The finish is top, all you need to do is cut the fabric to 1 cm bigger on every side to the area you wanna stick and then iron a fold of just under 1cm.

Glue this area all around and in diaganols across the fabric and seat and in the little lines in the seat. Then just stick and rub the glue around.

Be sure not to get any or too much glue on the fabric otherwise its turps to get it off!

Hardest part is corners as you need to get the creasing right and stick it to the old fabric and not the vinyl crap coz the glue dont like that.

If you do it right, the fabric is right down inside the previous fabric where it joins and looks like a retrim.

It hasnt worn at all and its nearly 1 year since I did it. Little dirty since I havnt cleaned it but it is washable with carpet crap, or I could simply do it again.

Need any more information anyone then let me know! Takes practice, but not a biggy if you cock it up, just chuck that 50p bit of fabric away and start again!

20-02-03, 12:10 AM
Sweet nice one mate, i dunno of any cheap old fabric shops round here tho that i can think of. hmmm never mind i'll find somewhere.
Where did u buy copydex from do they sell it in staples or summit???

whitey
20-02-03, 12:15 AM
Any hardware store, B&Q probably do, as do homebase! Get a Big tub with brush! More the better!

There is bound to be a fabric shop near you, if not then look on the net!

Just take your time if you do do it and plan ahead, like not to get glue on the ncie side coz BIATCH to get off, took me like 2 hours with turps on the first seat but looks fine now. Didnt do that to any of the others!

Dont use seats which you need incase you fcuk it completely! I wont be held responsible coz there is plenty of room for error if you are a complete muppet with no idea!

You should be fine though! :lol:

MattyWoo
20-02-03, 12:20 AM
Stuff it im gonna do my seats while they are in my car lol. Im probably not gonna do it for a few months cos im SKINT. then again by the time i get some money i'll prolly just buy some Gsi seats anyways.
Cheers Mate

20-02-03, 12:22 AM
fair play to you, not something i would do, but you probably wouldnt do what i would, still think its funny as fcuk!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

im still laughing from the first post about it, when im bored at work just think of you slapping the glue on and stretching it over!

for the material go down a market.

whitey
20-02-03, 12:27 AM
It was funny as fcuk! Had old dear helping too! They are all fabric legends!
Took like 2 nights of a couple of hours, had to be done, sounds like cowboy job but aint, everyone always mentions it or nova drivers drive past when im not in car and then reverse and stare at it for a while! HA

It was either fag burns and tears on the ?5 gte interior or cover it nicely or leave the standard brown one in!!!

But i think it was a result, deffo good idea if you plan to get buckets or a leather retrim in time after you have more important things out the way!

?Marty?
20-02-03, 02:33 AM
Freak didn't spend a fortune, he did it himself.

Whitey - yea it looks alright.

But you can't beat a 'proper' leather re-trim. Look at it as an MR2 with a Ferarri kit, and an actual Ferarri. Which one would you have? No question (if money ain't a thing).

Read my post again dipshit.

I did it myself. Did not cost me a fortune.
I could have had it pro trimmed- i have the money to do it ten times over, but i wanted to take pride in it and do it myself.

Twat.

Commenting it looks like a train seat doesnt mean i think its bad- its merely an observation as it fuckin DOES look like a train seat.

Yes it looks 'different' but then so does covering your car interior in
leopard skin effect fabric or something.

Sticking it on is a bit naff really in my opinion- and as mentioned in numerous posts on here b4- a negative opinion is JUST AS VALID as a positive one.


Ram it :roll:

Mr Wood- replied to your PM re: materials.

A few points...

1. Freak - enhance your calm :lol: You'll bust a blood vessel mate.
2. Before anyone asks, yes he really can afford it 10 times over... he really does have the money for it.
3. They do look a bit like GNER or Virgin train seats no getting away from it.

Just a little suggestion - once its glued in and everything like that why not then stitch down the edges to add some extra strength to it and stop the edges coming away over time? I know you've had yuors in 12 months now but eventually it will happen.

Oh and one more thing... cheers for teh PM Freak... much appreciated.

IF, if you can afford the cash there's only one way to do it. That's new front seats and rear re-trimmed to match.

Im sorry gonna have a moan

Well i have never seen either of you so dont know if these insults are directed at each other - but Freak if you are starting to be insulting on a personal level dont do it in the middle of a styling post mate, its taking things a bit too far.

Wanna insult each other, do it in a PM or show it all off in muppet corner.

whitey
22-02-03, 09:53 PM
Thank You Tilly - big kiss too ya!

Rite, everyone is valid to their own opinion, just their is a way of giving your opinion in the right way if it is negatuve!

Also, apology to freak, I read your post incorrectly, it looks nice and was cheap then! TOP Job! I was tempted to go afor a re-trim but it was too expensive even if I did it, expecially since I will be getting new seats once I save cash! - If i can!

As for the edges coming up, the answer is no! I tried this by pulling up one edge on purpose after doin the first seat and it ripped the old fabric on the way up, after pulling as hard as I could with both hands!
It does look nice when you see it in person and red isnt everyones colour! Mite look beeter to some in blue or yellow etc!

More comments positive or negative are welcome!
