Interior work - seat/carpets/etc.

Postby Mr_Q » Sun May 07, 2006 11:20 am

Has anyone done any interior changes?

I'm interested in getting my seats retrimmed (leather), new carpet and maybe some work on the door trims.

Any suggestions/recommendations of places that supply these or do this type of work?

Cheapest carpets are fom Supercheap I think.
Any trimmers would be able to do leather - Ebay often sells leather seat cover kits - no ideas on how good they are.
I'd reccomend leaving the door trims alone but...
1993 Clubman, Mx5plus roll bar
Autotechnica seats, Revalved Bilsteins
Fatcat Motorsport adjustable suspension
Espilier springs, Whiteline front bar.

I'd recommend - Tan or Bone coloured leather!

I was going to do the doortrims, but opted out. I think it looks neater with just the steering wheel, seats and gearboot highlights.

If you do get a trimmer to do it, have them bolster the thigh sections a little. Makes a world of difference when turning into corners!

As much as tan look sexah, if you're anything like me they'd get grotty in a day or so. Stick to classic black and get use to being burnt in summer. :oops:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

The tan leather ones in my last car got hot enough in the sun! :cry: It pays to at least pull the roof over (even if you don't fasten it) when getting out for a bit.

QwikMX5 - you have a PM. :)
