Anyone know of a good re-trimming company in the UK? I want to have some interior parts trimmed with alcantara.
 
Soutbound are going to be THE best but there is also a place near Preston called Gabbat & Brown that does a lot of classic stuff
 
It's worth considering that companies that 'specialise' in car trimming tend to charge a hell of a lot of money. My brother is tarting up a 1984 911 Targa (it had flood damage so the interior is/was a bit knackered); he lives on the Isle of Wight and took his seats to a chap who normally builds boats/yacht interiors, and had his leather seats completely renewed (including the padding etc) for a fraction of the price that car interior folk were quoting him.

We found that people who 'specialise' in 'classic car' stuff charge a fortune but the end result was the same- 2x good as new electric leather seats...

I don't remember exactly how much cheaper it was by using a boat man but if you want, I will find out.

There are in Mawdesley which is out in the sticks between Burscough and Standish.

Preston Car trim have done some good work for me although last time I used them the boss and me nearly ended up rolling around on floor outside fighting so its hard to recommend him these days. :hand:

Thanks chaps. I put an email into this company today before I saw your replies. Anyone know them?

Good point, there are companies that pump up the price because they are specialists. I'll get a few quotes before I commit.

I found their website but there's no email address, just a web form. Do you have it?

When I was at 9M yesterday I was very impressed by the trimming on the seats of their 'Tangerine Dream'.

Whoever they have trimming their seats is absolutely first class!

9m have moved their new Warraington site, Jct 21 M6, 5 miles down the road from their old site.

isysman, find yourself a local retrimmer, makes sorting out details much easier...
