hiya has anyone had any buisness with them and was it good or bad as i need stuff quickly and they said 10 days which is fine but i dont want it dragging out to months of waiting thanks danny

If you need it quickly then I'd perhaps look elsewhere. It took well over 5 months for my sun visors to come, and I've heard of other orders like this.

I will also say that chris was very apologetic and I had said I wasn't in a huge rush. I also got some free stuff when my order came through and I still wouldn't want to go anywhere else for my stuff as the quality is second to none.

Edit, just thought most of the current threads on retroretrims have probably been deleted/closed.

i looked on the search button and nothing came up

You wouldn't find this by a search, you'd need to know where it was. I think the above comments where a tad harsh.

->clicky<-

Starting from there and working back is the best way me thinks. Good luck mate.

Then why were you considering using their services then?

From what I've seen Retro Retrims do nice work, it just seems to take longer.

Chris's work is second to none, hes constantly busy with orders, hence it takes a while for him to get round to doing so, i dont think he has any staff either so he works by himself.

Optimise may be able to get it to you quicker than chris might, but its up to you who you use at the end of the day

i have only heard good things about retros work, and the little bit he has done for me has been amazing quality! with companies such as retros who are in such demand you need to plan ahead i think, if you are taking on a project, plan the interior you want, order what you need, and then it should come by the time you need it in a few months, so you still get the high quality and it wont be holding you up as much as it would if you order it when you get round to it!

i have herd that he makes amazing qauilty but my main thing is i have to send him my dash rails to be covered, can i still drive the mini with out top and bottom dash rails ??

EDIT: i know i could drive it ect but would i have to take out the switch panel and dash board ect ??

no, just rebolt them back in when the rail is out, unless you have a full width wooden dash, if you have just three clocks in front of you on a bracket youll be fine
