Hello
Has anybody had a interior retrim done? Did you retrim in the same style or did you change anything. Has anyone seen a alcantara retrim on a older saloon. Just getting ideas if anyone has pics they would also be appreciated
Thanks

I considered it for my SWB series II but I didn't have much $$$ to play with. I ended up reconditioning mine with a product called Leatherique. I don't know if it's sold in the UK but there is a dealer here in Canada and a few in the US. Worked pretty well for me but it depends on how far gone your hide is. A picture of the results....

I've used the Leatherique pristine clean and rejuvenating oil. They both work wonders!

That pops!

I spend a lot of time on Pelican Parts which has a Porsche (BMW/MB) forum(s) and those guys swear by Leatherique.

hi i used gliptone products on a friend's series 3 and on a really rough rover p5 with very good results, there is a glycerine cleaning product to soften and prepare leather for recolouring which is the most important part, got all at jag spares event at stoneleigh. the man on the stall was helpful and knew his stuff and not just a salesman.could be worth a look
