Hi All,

Those who know me will be aware of the problems I have undergone getting Libby's interior replaced.

I picked Her up the other week and managed to get some pictures for you to see the workmanship that Chris at Retro Retrims did.

Chris has made an awesome job of the custom leather to match the picadilly colours, custom carpets and rugs which had to be made specifically due to strengthening for the convertible, door pockets and speaker pods.

He is based in Birmingham and I thoroughly recommend his services which were performed to my exact requirements in the time he said it would take. I really cannot speak highly enough of him.

I will be at Castle Coombe Mini Day if anyone wants to see Her.

Best regards

Chris

Thats a very lovely looking mini and it is set perfectly with the interior.

Good choice and good craftsmanship in my opinion.

That looks great. REally works well with the paintwork.

May I ask how much it set you back? Im having plans to have my interior done...

Very nice work. Didn't realise he worked in leather too.

The interior colours really do compliment the external paint well.

Another beautiful job by Retro Retrims...

PM me when you decide to finish the interior with some custom clock faces :shifty:

Could go for gold / honey or maybe we could echo the chocolate / burgundy / cream theme of the seats
in concentric circles.

Tip top car by the way.
I love it.

Best wishes
Monty

Hi frenchie,

Chris is rubbish at answering the phone, but it is because he is always busy so I suppose we can forgive him for that!

Retro Retrims
Unit 3 Rowan Court,
Crystal Drive,
Smethwick,
B66 1RB.

Will pm a couple of numbers in case either is personal.

Best regards

Chris

Hi minispriteman,

I see you spend a lot of time knocking Retro Retrims. In fact it seems to be the only thing you do.

Can I suggest that a moderator looks into who you are?

For what it is worth I have never heard anyone have a problem with Chris, nor has he not returned anyone's telephone message. So I think you might be telling a few untruths here.

Regards

Chris

Oh Minispriteman or whatever your real name is!

I like your style. Turn things around and attack someone who questions you. Oh dear you have a classic case of inferiority complex. Check it out on the net and you will hopefully be able to see.

For what it is worth I am not defending the situation you state if it is true. I just find it odd that whenever I have left a message for Chris he has got back. Sometimes a little late I agree. I wonder why he has either not got back to you, or you think he has not got back to you! Very interesting Mr Watson!

Look minispriteman, don't come bleating to me and on my thread go and be a man and deal with the situation if you feel and are indeed cheated. If what you say is true then you need to deal with it properly. Moaning on every thread just makes you a trouble maker. I do hope you are a nice genuine person but believe me you don't come over that way.

Wish I was at the Mini show on Saturday and maybe we could swap stories over a beer or two.

In the meantime happy driving.

Regards

Chris
