have heard that transcal do a very good job, haven't had any work done myself there but some of my mates have seen their work and said it was factory standard
Firth Road Houstoun Industrial Estate Livingston West Lothian EH54 5DJ Scotland UK Tel: 01506 440111 http://www.transcal.co.uk/Leather/trim_shop.html - transcal can't remember company name but they're in south street in glasgow, whatever you do don't use this company my father got a retrim there and tbh I could've done a better job myself

Can't exactly remember the name of the company, I think it might be Trim Tech or similar though, anyway, the guy's name is Mark & his number is 07976310928. He was recommended to me, as I was planning a leather trim, & he is a good guy to speak to, does a lot of work for BMW. ------------- E39 530i Sport Aegean Blue Edition Saab 9-5T SE Estate E36 318i loon...sold E36 323i coupe...sold |

Phoned the guy that Ally323 recommended - he says he's in South Street ! Hope this is not the same guy Stevie said about Quoted me between £300 - £500 for the rear seat - thats just labour, i've already got the leather ! ------------- http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/2002/evo.html" - 2002 SportEvo http://www.freesmileys.org">

I've seen some of his work, on another member's car, "mymanhood" project car, it looked well done to me. Hope it's not the same fella too!! ------------- E39 530i Sport Aegean Blue Edition Saab 9-5T SE Estate E36 318i loon...sold E36 323i coupe...sold |

right colin got the info trim workshops unit 7, 636 south st, whiteinch glasgow tel:0141 576 0250 the guys name is mark kelly, it would be some coincidence for 2 retrimmers called mark working out of south st. when I think back I had my VR6 in next door to him AWG for window tints and they bust one of the door cards, he repaired it not the best job btw he charged my father 800 quid for retrim of front and rear seats he now cant get the rears to fold down two words STAY AWAY

If you are not wanting to deviate to far from stock go to A-trim and do an exchange interior set from them their work is top notch
they keep around 60 coulours in stock or some such stupid amount are very well knows among BMW refurb'ers and not as scary cost wise as you may think www.atrim.co.uk - here ------------- 2009 520d SE Business Edition Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience. |

Colin I've only gave you my opinion and as it seems that there are conflicting views then the best way to deal with that is go and visit this mark guy and have a look at some of his work. you're more than welcome to come and look at the finish on my fathers interior and make your own mind up

Best place for trimming in scotland is transcal, Ive used them for cars in the past and seen loads of their work, you can get creative with different colours etc and it works out much the same price, this allows them to use smaller pieces of hide which are cheaper than big areas. ------------- 528 for now |
