i'm just interested to see what an interior re-trim is worth, and I mean re-trims like HVATOS, MR 355, 10WVL etc. .... full tan leather. They'd be worth a few grand wouldn't they?

better quality than mr355 as in stiching and padding and also the type of leather used ie italian couch leather!!! the reason y this is so cheap is cause i have a mate that does the work he currently does alot of work for Master in sydney and u can ask INFLYT as he had his ricer interier done

why would you use couch leather, its not suited to cars, thats why they make automotive leather...?

leather aint leather u can get elcheapo stuff and u can get the expensive stuff thats been treated and wat not also like i said the stiching weather they use single or double and the padding of the seats weather its heaps soft so as soon as u sit on it it looses its shape or weather its comfortable but still retains shape these are all factors to be considered

I've been quoted about $4500 at G-Trim for a restoration style re-trim. That is, keep the Calais seats (front & back) but plush them up to new, re-leatherise them with Saffron (tanned) cowhide, keep Calais pattern for velour door-trims, re-carpet, re-roofline velour, paint dash & center console to suit saffron, and a few other niggly bits. seemed expensive, but will look the goods!!!

MR 355 pack's what is probably the best interior in any VL, so that can be used as a guide.
