First quote back

795 Re-trim Seats with leather
595 Headlining in grey alacantra
350 Dash with leather
150 Doors with new leather
1890 TOTAL

Mmm so 1300 for a nice light interior in my GS Spyder.

Interesting....

Seems like a bargain. Just make sure they do a good job as once the seat comes apart your stuck with it.

It sounds good but make sure they have a good track record...last thing you want is a bodged job or a rattling dash.

Where was that quote from, jamhot? There's a guy over in Dunmow whose works is excellent, I'm told. Meticulous, stickler for detail. I'll get his number etc if you like.

Hi Adam, Trimstar in Colchester. Please do pm me the number that would be great.

Hi Jamhot. The company is SF Car Trim, http://www.sfcar-trim.co.uk/. I think the person's name is Simon. To give you a really rough guide, to re-trim the dash, arm rests (and perhaps more... my friend was trying to remember how much work was done) of a GT cost around £800, but may have been cheaper. They're based at Great Bentley. I've not dealt with them but Lancaster has put work their way and the results were really good apparently. I'd be interested to know what you think.

 

[jamhot77]

Thanks Adam. I have sent them an email with pictures and will let you know.

I am trying to source some replacement chrome air vents for the dash. Unfortunately I need both sides and both centres. Eurospares cannot supply, is there anywhere else to try?

Give Maserati treasure trove David Askew a call - http://www.davidaskew.co.uk/

How did you get on with SF Car Trim, by the way?

There is also a guy on ebay who replaces the chrome with real metal rings as a final fix

 

[conaero]

Interesting Peter, can you post up a link, mine are going.

They're bonded aluminium rings on the smaller vents and cast/forged aluminium replacements for the larger. £50 prevent, though so a £300 job if you do the rears as well.
I simply took all the chrome off with a very fine grade wet and dry. Gives a satin-like finish, looks better (IMO) and didn't cost a penny!

 

[safrane]

Yes that's the ones Maf....pricey.

I'm finally getting time to re-trim the interior while she is off the road for winter. I took a while to decide on the colour of the replacement for the baby blue technocloth. In the end I went for Saphire Blue Nappa leather(I know its not everyones taste) to replace all the current technocloth.

I will post pictures as the car is done (pictures so far):

[CatmanV2]

Not to my taste, but looks a good job Are you doing it yourself?
