Glanza_Ragger Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Generally speaking, if you pay little money you will get a wank job.Stitching thats been done by a blind man after several ciders..Cheap materials..Poor fit.You'll be looking towards a grand, upwards for a decent trim in leather or a high quality cloth such as recaro grade.Alcantara is just silly expensive.Youre looking at around £100 a metre for genuine alcantara so go measure youre seats and go figure Best bet is to look through the yellow pages, arrange to go and see some of there work first.Just like a bodyshop.

Glanza_Ragger Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 How much does he roughly charge for a starlet retrim Ecks?Say half leather half alcantara? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JammieLittleStarlet Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Id be interested in this;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Sorry didnt spot this.Anyways, a starlet interior would be in the region of £800-1000, depending on the material. That would obviously be everything, possibly including door cards depending on the design, and piping if you so wished (if used well it can look brilliant).Real alcantara is in the region of £54 a metre, no idea where you got £100 per metre from Quote Link to post Share on other sites
