AJ, just noticed your first responce
Does sound like a lot, doesn't it?
Truth is, when I specified what leather I wanted to use, which costs up to twice as much as some out there, and the level of detail I wanted, ie absolutely everthing done, it all adds up. Because I wanted so much done we had to buy 2 cream hides and 2 black. Things I learned were that to get those back parcel shelf sections and the bits inside the rear roof arches out isn't as easy as it sounds, I believe you have to go in from the engine compartment which all takes time. Also to get the sun visors redone wasn't just recovering them - they had to be reconstructed as the cardboard inside (yes, you read that right!) had given up the ghost. I wanted them to match the rest so couldn't just buy new ones. The one thing I did save on was the fact that I wanted to give a different carpet a go, bit of a punt but thought I'd try something a little more plush. If I had gone for a Ferrari set it would have cost £1200 plus fitting just for that.
Quotes wise, I got some others. One was for "above £10,000 for that kind of work." from a place down in East Anglia. My local Ferrari Main dealer said they could get it done by the trimmer they used, no money going to them, but for that type of leather etc it was going to cost almost £3k for the seats alone and they were probably less than 25% of the work.
So yep, pretty pricey but took the decision to get it done to a pretty high standard with top quality stuff. Unfortunately that costs a bit.
