Interior trimmers are more than capable, I personally have never tried it. But I know of a few people with Recaro's in clio's who have had them re-trimmed.

Hope this Helps.

Yeah! Hold on I'll link you to some pics of re-trimmed recaro's! He had them re-trimmed in leather and alcantara (posh name for suede) and red stitching to match the paint.

Good morning,

It certainly can be done, here is a previous set of similar seats that we have re-trimmed:





Cost will all depend on the material, but as a guide for you:

£699.99 (full set) £449.99 (fronts only) - in vinyl leatherette.
£899.99 (full set) £649.99 (fronts only) - in Shelly leather.
£999.99 (full set) £749.99 (fronts only) - in Vele leather.
£999.99 (full set) £749.99 (fronts only) - in Alcantara®.

And I also see your in Shropshire, we are in Newcastle-Under-Lyme - so your not too far away.


Thanks
