Mitchell Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 well just got in from my trimming buddies, it seems the supplier said when ordered, " i have one hide here i will send it and order the others" first hide arrives and kishy starts his magic......................then the others arrive and woooah the first hide was wrong colour although stickered up correctly., so i may have a trim for sale in magenta/ burgundy with cerise stitch, you would supply your front seats and these will be trimmed to match if we can locate the colour of the supplied hide, price tba.
