Great find!

How much do Members expect would be needed to retrim a ZT?

No, I know its the fake stuff, Novasuede, but if your doing the whole interior ...........

Think you will be surprised how costly it is to retrim a complete interior
It's all labour and a very time consuming job
Given approx £150 - 200 to repair a bolster or 2

I had my driver's seat bolster re-trimmed at a cost of £70. It was a fine job too! The re-trimmer did state that a full re-trim would be very costly, especially with Alcantara.

Thus, I de-bobbled it!

My intention is to get my drivers seat bolster retrimmed and match the rest of the interior, the previous owner never even had one passenger in the car so apart from drivers seat the rest is totally unmarked, hence the need to find a match

Genuine Alcantara is about £70-£80 per liner metre

You need about 2 metres to do 4 door cards. I've never measured a ZT interior, but would expect around 3 - 4metres would be the order if the day for the seats

Callow and Maddox shut in 2009.

Apparently the remains were bought by an ex-employee who now works with a handful of staff. I have no name for the current company.

There was another company but the name escapes me at present.

www.newtrim.co.uk were suppliers to Xpart/MGR, and are formed by ex Rover Group staff, based at Cowley. Maybe worth a call.
