Hi Stacey
I'm interested in the same thing. Dashboard bits mainly. maybe door handles. I was going to try the ones on fleabay DIY ones for a laugh, but would rather have them done properly as i'd probably make a mess of it and have wonky stitching. Maybe if there are enough of us, we can get a group buy on leather trim bits from one of the existing suppliers? Watching with interest PCM |

Their trimmer went on his own as Rich the Stitch in York but has closed up shop. He still owes me for a set of new seats I bought off him but he never delivered and was full of excuses. I know he owes plenty of other people too. |

Given your location (Cheshire), I can recommend rick@cheshirecartrim - https://www.cheshirecartrim.co.uk based in Macclesfield.
He did a really nice repair / replacement of ripped seat panels in my Tomb Raider when others wanted a complete re-trim or wanted the shirt off my back to fund. Given a fairly unique pattern of the leather / vinyl I wasn't about to find alternatives and he did a great job of extracting useable material from other parts of the seat and matched with material. Long story - He accommodated my needs, results look great, did in less than week between full re-trims of other land-rovers (and camper vans) and didn't charge the earth - as well as keep me informed of progress. Hope that's useful. Defender 90 - Tomb Raider LE Discovery 5 HSE - yes, even despite the ugly backend. Range Rover 4.2SC - Gone and still being missed |
