I have a customer who has a Pepper White cooper,and wants to have his dash board and door trims(everything apart prom the alloy patina bit:p)trimed in as close to pepper whithe leather as possible,as painting is out of the question.
So i thought i would ask me mates on NMS,as someone is bound to have seen it or possibly even have it done:question:;)

Cheers me dears:D

Iain,

I'd thought Transcal might be the people to try - I remember them being in Livingston, but I've not been back in ages.

Cheers!

Birds Engineering in Uxbridge do a fantastic job, it's a long way but they are excellent

Fionas was done by Zeemax I think, pretty sure Tinthaus (http://www.tinthaus.co.uk/htmlsite/productdetails.asp?id=9) offer retrimming services at some of their branches

Iain,

I've got everything trimmed in the interior of the blue coop done by Zeemax.

Transcal have just retrimmed the recaro seats in my Cabrio fantastic job really pleased and a smidge of the price Zeemax would charge but they only have one guy that retrims by hand i.e. not using a pattern you would need to ask about the door and dash.

However the dash retrim is fine but once you start to retrim the door panels and the panels at the back seats etc with the extra addition of the leather nothing fits back exact and it can add the odd rattle.

I will be meeting Keven Bird next Thursday from Birds I will ask him about interior re-trims if u want
