Do you happen to have a cost breakdown of everything? I'm rather curious about the handbrake, gear knob and steering wheel costs.

not many trimmers would actually touch the steering wheel, but this mob did, all up it was pretty expensive but i wanted quality done. was almost 2k all finished, so i am guessing u can try brake it down from there...

Fantastic job ..... crappy pictures ..... but seriously it looks very professional and what you said about the steering wheel is correct, my original Nardi Leather wheel had been ruined by the previous owner leaving it in the sun. I enquired at a few places for recovering and only one wanted to take the job on - $480! I just bought another wheel as new for $100.

I am going to have my NB8B door trim inserts and my gear boot trimmed in red leather to match my seats as you have done.

Can't wait to see some nice clear photos

sorry to say, but i'm not a fan.

i think you should have left the plastics black, and that red gearknob is too much!

I don't mind all the red, but I would have left the outer side of the seat black, and only the centers of the seat red.

How much did it cost to retrim the steering wheel?
