The red GTA was mine.....
Called in on the of chance a couple of weeks ago about doing the headlining in alcantara.
They had some left on a roll when a aston martin had been done there, feeling confident i booked the alp in and what a disaster it turned out to be.........
1. they managed to scratch the car when i told them not to drive it (it came out with some heavy T-Cut use)
2. they managed to get glue all over the leather interior (this peeled of slowly but left no damage)
3. they managed to leave scratches all over the rear leather centre console (its gradually going with heavy use of leather cream feed)
4 but the best bit they managed to damage the plastic interior strip above the windscreen, the piece that the sun visors atach to. It actually looks like they have slipped with a stanley blade.
The actually headlining looks great but for the rest of the problems to say there was heated words was a understatement.
This is not the first time i have had work done on the alp and it has been less than satisfactory isn't there any decent craftsmen left in this country. :cry:

I had my headlining done in Alcantara last summer/autumn. Excellent service from Austin's Trim in Oxfordshire.

Top quality work and very reasonable price
