Default Interior re-trimming?

I will hopefully be buying some newage spec-c fronts for my classic and will need the rear bench and door centre's re-trimming to match,has anyone used had there's done and what sort of cost was involved and also was the job any good.

Thanks in advance

Just fit a newage rear bench - a lot cheaper mate

I did my own door cards, the material for bugs was just glued on and I ripped it off and replaced it with red foam-backed suede

Ryan, contact Catalunya172 aka Lee he's a professional retrimmer as well as being a spanner jockey. He fitted a newage STi interior in his classic and retrimmed his door cards to suit, I'm sure he could help sort it out for you.

Just sold some WR1 (new age) front seats that I'd run in my classic for a few months..... tbh they just sit too high and are less supportive. But they look cool. Personally, before you make the move, i'd try them out in a classic you could save ya self a lot of time and bother.

Just fitted new age Sti fronts and rears to my classic yesterday, fronts went straight in, no bother apart from a bit of wiggling, rears also fine, using the higher bolt holes, but couldn't align the middle bolt for the back rest? Also yes it does sit a few inches higher than the classic back rest, also the base of the rear seat doesn't completely come to the edge where it meets the door so do have a bit of a gap? Presume this is all normal?
