Mid England Retrims , an introduction.

[mid england retrims]

Hello all , i was asked by kevin via the vw t4 forum to join this forum to show what we do and to offer our services.
My names ade , superstitch on other forums. Started trimming around 7 years ago as a hobby , 18 months ago it went to being a full time business . We specialise in t4s and t5s. We can supply all original vw cloth used in the vans. We carry out trimming work for dirtyweekenders , uberbus conversions and evolution camper conversions. We have recently retrimmed a cali for dirtyweekenders where we trimmed the dashboard in suede , headlining in suede and retrimmed seats and bed in full leather, including the correct airbag threads for the front seats.
We offer a 10% discount to all paid forum members. We hold a single and double seat in stock as curtosy seats whilst your seats are trimmed.
Below are pics of our work ,


To give you guys a rough guide to prices ,
Two captains in vinyl / fabrics start at £380 a pair
Two captains in budget range leather start at £600 a pair
T5 dashboard in suede is £350
Headlining above cab in suede £180
Seat/bed in rear in vinyl / fabrics start at £360
Seat / bed in budget leather start at £600
Hope this a rough idea . Retrims can be done in stages.
We have access to bentley nappa leathers , exotic leathers . The vinyls we use are marine industry , we also use italian vinyl which is as sumptous as leather.
Thanks for looking. Ade

Hi. My Cali has the standard cloth seats. I find that these attract and display dirt all too easily.

What is the approx cost for light grey leather on the two font seats, the front arms, and the rear 2 seat slider, 4 headrests please. Say for the seat style in your bottom pic.

Thanks

Looks great


I love the plaid design - like the 70's Westy Bays - bold - but I like it Some very tempting options there.

Can you supply the original takato cloth for the Beach?

The photos look amazing. I'd love to get our seats leathered but couldn't justify the cost for how much we use it.

Great looking seats

Wow, nice looking work. We are always being asked for leather re-trims on vans we sell, Ill be in touch

I love the look of the red leather seats. But why would anybody want the dash covered in suede??

Must be murder to keep clean and look very tatty a few years down the line when it's a bit scratched and worn.
No comment on the quality of fitting but just don't get it for a 'utility' vehicle.

Hi, its a contract suede with a martindale abrasive rating of over 40000 hours, the lightfastness rating is 6 , its uv protected , cleans with standard soapy water , it can be cleaned with wd40 and window cleaner. Alot have it done to cut the glare off the dashboard.
The red leather seats were trimmed in a same design as the rib beds. Love working with leather.
Thank you for the comments , i really appreciate the feedback.
