However, there are MANY places that can do the same work to a high standard where you aren't getting your wallet bored out to quite that sort of level.

Very expensive sometimes equates to very good. Sometimes it's just very expensive.

:hand: Chum, this is for a 993 and when you've got those rose tinited specs on you simply must pay top price to feel you've sunk your dough into leather that's not going to end up as wrinkled as an octogenarian's ball sac the moment you drive off the car park :what:

Whilst the Illuminati are checking for wiper widget and whether the plastic ties under the trunk carpet have the correct number of holes informing them you 'only' paid £1000 for a trim and dye job wont cut the mustard.

You can actually buy the OEM leather seat covers and then need to find someone skilled in leather stretching (GT4 possibly :dont know: ) and stitching to fit them. I'm reliably informed Timpsons heel bar at Lakeside can't do it :nooo:

I imagine that living in Wales & owning a water-soluble car might not be a good plan!

My GTV is the same age as my 993 and the condition is just as good, in fact the GTV has never leaked, wish I could say the same about the Targa and the 968.

Alfas still suffering from the Alfasud rust issues in so many people's eyes :lol:
