hi there. i'm currently looking for a good company to re-cover my cobra clubmans in leather or vinyl look leather and was wondering if any of you know about any good places that can do it either in the gloucestershire or midlands area? t

I can do it, im based in Bristol. However you may want to weigh up the price of a retrim against new.

it looks like i have to go for a retrim due to the fct that its for a special edition cooper which is all trimmed in a special baby blue type leather which no company seems to sell as an option. how much would it cost me roughly for a retrim of the bucket seats? t

Emalee can do vinyl covers £40 + postage. They slot over the current covers and attach by the normal clips and a bit of glue on the bottom, they look very smart. Here's mine in cream....

Sorry it's a massive photo :o And in fact doesn't show it that well lol, hard to photograph the inside of a mini :o

To have your seats properly retrimmed, and in leather, would cost quite alot. You could ask Newton Commercial who do retrimming and bespoke interiors :o

I'm recovering a set of low backs this week, in better quality material and adding piping. Will put pics up when they are done :)
