Is this service too over the top for people?

Hi all

I'm toying with the idea of providing a leather trimming service

Yeah yeah I know its not anything I can do well enough to put out on you people

So what I've done is found an excellent award winning interior trimmer to do the work for me

The idea is for leather dashes, centre tunnels, T-bars and seats

You tell me the colour leather you want and the style/colour of stitching you what

I'll sort it all out and even come to you to fit it

I have the first dash and centre tunnel with him at the moment, so pictures of quality etc will follow shortley

example price would be for the dash and centre tunnel exchange and fully fitted around £400

A dash and centre tunnel for £400 sounds a serious bargain, Jon. I look forward to seeing the piccies!

As David says that sounds a Bargain. Leather Dash is on my list of wants, Would an MG logo be available like the MGF Centre Leather Dashes ?

what a good bargain.the mgf centre in wolverhampton do this at £410+ vat and thats jusr for the dash. i have seen this fitted to a mgtf in light blue and it looks stunning.

I'm in for sure!!!

At that price I would also e interested :yesnod:

He is testing mine out now to see how well the MG logo comes through

So I'll be able to let you know and see the pics as soon as its ready


I had a set back on the extra cheap stainless steel coolant pipes as the costings came in today

I'm now setting about making a jig from an old set of MG ones and will be in touch with suppliers for the raw parts tomorrow

I can smell that interior.

Now that would be a good add on for any MG F/TF.

Definitely something to consider, but what would look good in a BRG TF? Dark green? Black? Green/black? Decisions decisions...

on the MG badge, if the end result was not quite 'up to scratch', could this be substituted with a colour badge attached in place? May add to the cost, but I always thought the badge on the console should have been an inset with a badge anyway.

IMHO tan looks good with BRG too :yesnod:

Only problem with a proper badge in that position is reflection in the windcsreen.

Maybe remove the badge entirely and replace it with a Heads Up Display unit similar to modern jet fighters?

If the guy is true to his word the test dash FOR MINE should be ready Monday as he said two weeks because of a back log of work he had going on

Any news or are things running a little late?
