Body/Trim: 850: - Refurbished seats

cyclogenesis · Jun 14th, 2024, 18:03

After 26 years of ownership, we bit the bullet and got our wrecked, ripped and cracked front seats professionally refurbished. Also got the headlining done as the foam was breaking down and the material sagging. Very pleased with the result. Need a new leather steering wheel now and then onto the exterior bodywork.

Not sure why the photographs are 90degrees out.

Looking good. The photos have fallen over because the originals are too high. Re-size by reducing the height slightly and they should load in the correct orientation.

Agree with ITSv40...looking really good with no shiny bits. Nice job! Just a little surprised you didn't go with a dark headlining seeing as you went to such trouble 🤔

Surely it deserves a new steering wheel after all those miles https://www.gcp.se/en_eur/products/3...?category=3669

Look very nice, so the burning question is - The cost and who did you use ? For the seats that is.

I used an outfit in Waterlooville Hampshire and it was not cheap. Regarding the headlining, its exactly the same colour as the original trim as I want to keep the car authentic. Thanks for the comments.

I had a quote from a classic car interior retrim company and it’s a good job I was sitting down

It was for complete interior and roof lining and it’s was about 4K if I remember correctly

I had asked them to Quote for replacing the Grey piping with red on the R seats
