You'd think i'd go straight to Carisma, but not on your life!!!!
Does anyone in the South East area know of any GOOD (please note, I expect exceptional quality, I want Carisma quality) retrimmers?
Im after something for my bike, but being so long out of the game I don't know what reputable companies have come up through the ranks over the years.
Anyone got any names/websites they can fire off to me? Ideally Kent, but Sussex, Essex areas also considered.

Would sending the seat away not be an option? I used to work for a place that did leather retrims and the guy was shit hot.

You want a place that just does Seat, or all other makes and models of vehicles too?

classic car services in leicester are VERY good, they're not over-priced for the job they do either.

I'd be happy to send the seat unit off. Depending on timescales really.
I've got my own design though, and some stitching involved too so would rather be around so I can pick my exact colours etc. (green silver and black obviously  )
James, those two companies good?

Give them a call if you want to enquire, you won't be dissapointed by their work though.
