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.
