Leather seat refurb...Birmingham area

[Cheerio]

Finally purchased a Z3 (via TaffDaddy, thanks), one of my first jobs will be to get my black/blue leather seats refurbished (typical worn leather look). I am quite happy to have a go myself but was wondering if anyone can recommend someone in the Birmingham area (don't mind going a little further)? Just looking to see real world cost of getting someone else to do the job. Appreciate any feedback you may have - thank you

Bespoke Leathering are in Birmingham, I've only used them for dyes but Car SOS take all their interiors them and they always seem to do top quality work and get great reviews.

Thank you Dave, completely forgot about Car SOS (I watch the programme too). Somehow I don't think I'll get them done at nil cost like Tim does (or so he leads you to believe)

I love Car SOS. And I love Tim and Fizz, Tim in particular. But all those 'blagging' scenarios are to my mind obviously set-up. However for the kudos of getting on TV I would imagine there are plenty of freebies.

If Bespoke Leathering is the one with the guy who can tell the grain of a 50 year old seat from 20 yards and match it from stock then that's priceless. I had a new base cover done by a guy in Swansea for £80 recently. Nice but the grain did not match, so that's a priority for me.

Or are they the ones where the guy runs and hides when he knows Tim is coming?

I re-dyed my seats and door cards myself. Really cheap if you do it yourself although a little time Consuming.

Grumps - what product did you use please and where did you purchase it? Might have a go myself

Car SOS is great harmless fun which is where WD started from but ended up in a very strange US-based mess, in my humble opinion of course. And as for what they did to Edd, no comment

Liquid Leather. Just Google it mate, really easy to do. There is a thread on it somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

Here's the website for the product I used.

Lloyds BMW Blackpool put me in touch with a company called TrimTechnik who are based in Wilmslow Cheshire but will travel anywhere. They quoted me £800 to come to Blackpool and completely re upholster both seats and the door panels in whatever colour leather I chose. They will also design any colour style you wish and some of the pictures on their site are awesome.

Mine was done with liquid leather too..

Its just time and patience a few members use their scuff master products.
Its not expensive to do and its quite forgiving as a product my interior is pushing 2 years this christmas its robust enough at least for me

I can vouch for trim technique. Used to use them when i worked for merc. They used to do a lot of nappa replacement from mb lex.
This is my trim dyed in liquid leather.
