i am in the middle of getting a full interior re trim but as i know the lad and he is doing it cheap i am getting it done for 200 but the actual price would be around the 1500. for seats you are prob looking at around 100 to 150 per seat mainly due to the labour :thumb:

I'll have this for sale in 2 days.
The grey is an excellent match for the grey plastic trim found in most Novas.

I didn't pay to have this re-trimmed as it was bought second hand through ebay.... wasn't cheap though.

?1500 is about right for re-trimming as previously mentioned.

i know a guy who does it for arond ?400
but not real leather will do real leather and will be cheap
at a guess about 600/700 yes full retrim
i havent spoke to him in a few months but im sure he is still doing it
i had a bmw 325 done for ?200 by him and it was faultless
but mates rates n that

Matt, are you selling those door cards as well? I'd be interested in those if you're willing to sell separate to the rest of the interior...

I bought a set of GSI seats retrimmed in silver leatherette, with the original gsi fabric in the centres for ?80, at the time I just wanted GSI seats though and had no preference about the retrim.

I did mine myself (well me mum did!) She had an industrial sewing machine though. The rebuild I'm doing I'll be doing my own retrim - its a pretty big job but if your patient and take your time and have the right materials and tools its well worth it!

If someone wanted just the seats I'd consider splitting.

I have proper plugs for the winder holes (think they're alpha audio ones)
