RICHARDA Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Good news for all you leather lovers, I have just got off the phone with Vincent at Gibson & Boyne trimming who informs me that another Group buy will be on its way soon. I will not be oganizing this, Vincent just asked me to pass on the information to you all. (mods, please move if in wrong place) Ta Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKIVDreamer Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Depending on cost and details of above, I would be *Very* interested!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I second that ... well worth doing!! They have a spare drivers seat that they fit to your car while they re-upholster you seats. So you don't need to lose the car for any time at all. Quality is great too. I had my front seats done + piping + logos + pockets on the rear of the seats. Came to just over £500 I think ... but well worth it. Transforms the car. Some pics attached: - Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 That looks really sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 could well be interested in this!! (my credit card may disagree!). where are G&B? would shipping the seats down to them be out of the question?? how far are they from Inverness?

CJ Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 They are based at Eastleigh (not far from Southampton) and do a superb job at reasonable prices. I have to speak to Vince later and may help out in the organising of the GB as trying to get them over the net or via phone can be problematic.

Nic Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Could I ask a favour from any member who know the guys at G&B please. I want to find out how much a set of replacement seat covers (front and rear) would cost and how difficult it would be for me to fit them on my car myself here?

Faye Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Fitting the seat covers is a bit of pain, I did it when my mum and I refurbed mine. The problem for me was having the right clips to put everything back together again, I ended up getting Matt to bastardise some metal washer things so I could crimp them back on the frame. (The covers all have metal rods going through them that attach to the frame of the seat using thick copper type wire). Back seat wasn't too bad, neither was the passenger seat, but I really struggled getting the cover off the drivers seat, to the extent I got someone else to do it as I didn't want to break anything!!!!

Elliot Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 being local, I'm VERY tempted. Not sure what colour I'd go for though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 RED!!!! He he he. As their first transformation job on both the backs and the fronts I can more than reccomend them. Anyone that has ever seen the re-trim they did in either my red or my black car will attest to how good it is. Costs are more than reasonable only problem is that they are overly accomodating and can do serious amounts of piping and Logo's at no extra hassle so the bill could be a lot higher than you originally intended heh heh.

Paul Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Funny, I only phoned them on Saturday. What sort of price was the last group buy, someone mention £500 for the fronts? The price they qouted me was non group buy so I'd expect this to drop. For info, has the work they done on the previous one lasted well?
