bought a AU 1 Ghia. the leather on the drivers is worn as u would expect. the guy thats going to retrim my seats suggested that i try and get a skin for the seat from ford that way the leather will be a closer match.
has anyone done this before? just thought i would try before i ring them and spend 20 mins on hold. if not anyone know where i can get the leather that will go close to matching the factory. obviously i dont expect it to be the same but i would like it to be at least close.

I'm thinking that ford will no longer stock the seat trim for her as , I'm aware they don't even do the cloth trim.
I'm going to ford tomorrow to pick a few things up so i'll ask them the question and let you know tomorrow. Regards, Woody :thebirds:

i had the drivers side in my car retrimmed when i first bought my car. i didn't get it done myself, it was part of the deal when i bought it from the dealer. they said it cost around $300 to get it done and the leather is a good match. can hardly tell other than my seat pretty much looking brand new and the passenger side slightly worn. i dont know where they got it from tho, sorry. call up some upholstery joints, they should be able to help u out.

all the factory leather covers are all leather on faces and vinyl on borders....some trimmers like my old work may not keep any scrap to suit, and save paying 400-700 a hide that maybe wont be perfect match colour wise.....we just use to persuade the customer into getting vinyl panel....hell of a lot cheaper, in most cases perfect match....when its in u prob wont even tell the diff....even sometimes we couldnt tell, except if only one panel is to be replaced the others look grainy or worn alot more
hope this helps |

we had a couple of patches repaired in our AUII ghia not long ago for $80- and the match is perfect,as there is a few textures in the rear seats so there was a few to choose from to match.
TQ motor trimming at campbelltown nsw,Unreal bloke Micheal very good work. 0412753376
