Hey all just getting to the stage of my build and I'm looking at sorting the interior, I've just started pricing it up and had to take a second look, here's a quote from Newton commercial, ignore the colours for now




In addition to this I wanted to get the top and bottom dash rails covered to match the seats and a matt set

Am I wrong in thinking I can get this done for not as much as that? How much have you guys spent on your interiors? And can you recommend any other suppliers? I understand Newton are a big player but there must be loads of upholsters out there

Hi Tom yeah I've been following your build thread very impressed with your progress. Yeah I'm in the same boat is £1200 a good price or not? Seems most interiors are coming out at around that sort of price

Those door cards you've got there look lush Clive I think I'll keep that pick and see if whoever I get to produce them can copy the pattern I'm gunna have it done in cream tho with cream seats and dash to suit

A bit like this but with blue carpets as my cars padgent blue with a custom cream Union Jack roof

I got an end of season offer from Ashley James Autotrim. Was about £800 for full leather seats, door cards, underlay, carpet, headlining, parcel shelf cover, rear kick-board, dashboard, centre console and arm rest.
