Need to get hold of some of this fabric but can't seem to find anyone who supplies this.
Can anyone give me any pointers.

Try the yellow pages, under "Coach Trimmers". Also, this stuff is popular with ICE installs so ask your local friendly ICE dealer where he'd get it from.

The coach trimmers will be much cheaper if you can find one directly rather than having the ICE people take their pound of flesh...

Easy mate, buy a new Legacy Outback off me and cut out what you need from the seats

Or call B-trim on 020 8804 1621, there in Meridian Way, Enfield.

Regards

Thanks for the advice, well some of it. David I doubt the Outback has an interior to match my DBM car, nice try though.

Might have that Mazda 323 off you next week if Ahmed can do a fair bit on the price as it seems over the odds.

Thanks anyway, I'll pick up my hairdryer ( Punto) tomorrow

Sorry I had to

I have an acquaintance that deals in the skin trade, he will no doubt know someone who deals in alcantara, will ask him if I see him in the near future.

Could have sold you my old 306 GTI-6 (complete with alcantara seats) if I had known!

I can do you a nice 01MY with all the prodrive bits, I'll even try to get the girl that was impressed with your camera to deliver it And I promise not to tell your girlfriend

More serious tho, you could also try AutoImage, they do the leather trim for Subaru UK on cars that don't come from Japan with it - they did yours. If you want their number let me know.

Seeya tomorrow

Cool

If you read Banzai you would have seen that a VDO Dayton P1 Impreza had been retrimed interior with Alacantara Blue - was also in the September issue of Redline so i've been told?
Ninosco from AOL gave me the number for SQ Plus on 0161 748 1600 (who did the VDO Dayton) when i was looking for centre consol pods for a satnav GPS screen.
Maybe they can help ..
