Re-Trim or new seats
Having just finished sticking my now clean and leak free car back together The seats are starting to annoy me, there not ripped or torn but not perfect, whats peoples opinions on either re-trimming (and where in the north west) or replacing with a set of leather race style seats? all thoughts and opinions are welcome
Ps John B it no longer understeers as much as it did last year, when's the next north west drive?

Hi, Andrew.
I can highly recommend Martrim (trimming) and Leathercare (Connolising) in the North West.
Don't have time to get contact details now, but just ask if you'd like them.
Edit: I'll sort out another NW Run when we get back from Germany (away next week). Maybe we might actually have some decent weather by then!
P.S. Kevin, what's the significance of the lava?

John,Andrew,
Very keen to get on another NW run, hopefully avoid the 3 points this time.
I am also away for a few days next week but generally available thereafter,
Cheers,
Kevin.

Andrew,
I was clocked on the way home by the same unit that you saw in the morning although they had changed location.
Looking forward to seeing the Strosek again, John B is going to set up a "run" when he returns from Germany....I think he's going to the Ring-again!
Cheers,
Kevin.

Depending on what sort of condition your interior is in, it might be worth thinking about trying some leather restoration products yourself. I was just put onto a range of leather care products called Gliptone http://www.liquidleather.com/. My trim looks fairly knackered, but I like the lived-in, old-pair-of-gloves feel and I'm concerned I could spend a few k on new leather and then find the interior not as comfy as now and be worried about damaging it!
I've just tried the full Gliptone's restoration pack on my drivers seat which was showing the usual old 964 wear and tear to the bolster, and I cannot believe how good it looks; not like new, but kind of old and well cared for, and all one colour now which helps! Might be an option for you.
