Out of interest, does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to get the standard seats in a fabia retrimmed. Say in fabric - black and grey to match the look of the fab RS seats?

That's if its possible to retrim normal seats like that....

Am having one of those "what can I do to my car" days. Later on I'll realise I'm fairly broke and try and prioritise a bit more...

Good question...as far as I can tell, the fabric is just a cover, which slides over and clips into place. I was thinking of enquiring with my dealer how much the vRS leather seat coverings are, but then it occurred to me that I don't really like them, and that I'd rather have proper full leather.

Er, anyway, to answer your question - let me know if you do find anything out...

Rob.

As I think I've mentioned just a few times before, I'm not the greatest fan of the "pale yellow skyscraper" trim inside my fab. Am thinking that a retrim and the door cards from the fabRS would change the look of it in a big way. As always, cost is the main factor....

Could try this lot for a quote on coverings. Know a friend that got this done on their Pug205 (leather) and was a good job.

Is this the Carisma you were referring to:

Carisma

Unit B

Commerce Way

Colchester

CO2 8HH

01206 792697

Is that seat covers or lingerie, or seat covers made of lingerie? Or am I thinking of another Carisma? :confused:

Their web-site www.carismastyle.co.uk doesn't seem to have any mods for the Mitsubishi Carisma.

My Dad will be disappointed, he's wanted "Lexus" style lights on his Carisma for years.

The telephone number on that website is 01905... so i'm guessing it's not the Carisma based in Colchester (01206)...

I did find their website once, which had a really snazzy "coming soon" holding page, but no content....

Yup Denis, that's them. Must have a look through the scant collection of b-racer mags I have to see if their URL is listed anywhere!

Found this document on the web. Carisma's address is on the last page, but doesn't mention a web address. The address and telephone number are different from the ones I got from BT's web enquiries.

If you want a good job doing then I can personally recommend Carisma Colchester. Jamie and Greg are friends of mine and do a wicked job. The price aint cheap, but its damn good !

PS - Aleady talked to Greg about retrimming the 'silver mesh' on my vRS !

Andy,

That's actually one of the 'vanity' mods I'd like. How did you go on? (I'm assuming you meant replacing the mesh with leather or something else plush )
