Killa B 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 Shelley, if you gona give my company a plug at least get the name right! it's Gulf Harbour Covers. Speakeasy, no im not from Thames, yes i do upholstery, i retrimmed shelly's car in the cream leather ( don't look too close, that was first attempt ). if you really want i can give you a price but i am real busy so it'd have to be cash and in the weekend, which means cheap but not quick, from memory it takes about a day per seat, providing there the same as Shelley's, so it may take a few weeks.

Killa B 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 Bimmer boy: Depends on what material you want to use, i like working with leather, you can cut it small and stretch it on, to a certain point, basicly its nice to work with. I have an e36 and havent attempted to do my own seats yet, they look quite difficult with the extending leg support ect. If your seats are out of the car i'd like to have a look at them, then i could give you a better idea of price. I only have one question, why do you want them piped ? i dont think piping will suit them, B. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 o yep the seats are out of the car .. cos i dnt seem to own the rest b sides the seats but yea i was just thinking piping just one of the options i am thinking bout o and my seats are just regular so mine dnt hav lumber support like sports seats (although i really really want sports seats ) but yea if u can giv me a rough estimate it would be awsome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killa B 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 (edited) Mmmk....... you have seats but no car ? i would have got the car first i think......neway, two front seats done out of leather, no piping or extras, and without seeing them id say probably around $500 for one or $800 for both. (thats a rough estimate not a quote). Pm me if anyone wants more info. B. Edited January 22, 2004 by Killa B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
