Interior Retrim

Has anyone had an interior re-trimmed before and if so who did they use and an a rough idea on cost. Anyone recommendations for the NW would be great.

We are looking at purchasing a car that has an interior we don't like, so are option is to have it re-trimmed on depending on cost. I understand it'll be dependant on what you choose, but a rough idea would be great. No door cards required it would just be seats in a Mini.

I think buying an interior you like off a breaker or eBay would be a lot less hassle than a retrim.

Someone I know had a Bentley Continental re trimmed and the cost was astronomical.

personally I would not buy soft trim items like seats door cards etc etc off eBay with out getting a signature in blood from the seller , whether it be private individual or breaker that the items I were buying were as good as my expectations .
I hate being disappointed and can't tolerate shite , and there is a lot of shite on eBay .
I looked at some Alfa Romeo cloth seats for our camper a while back ,foot marks were clearly visible !!! why do breakers think anybody would accept them .they tend not to be very careful with some stuff .beware

Exactly this, i've been looking on eBay and theres seats which look awful priced at £650+. I'd rather spend a bit more and have new, and what we want rather than that. Around the £1000 mark is what I was thinking, so maybe £1500 for a vectra seems like for like?

Although theres no door cards or steering wheel needed.
