I used BM Leather in Richmond who was able to bring my seats back to looking like new, he had to do some re-trimming on the bolsters but otherwise was able to keep most of it stock which reduced cost but more importantly kept originality in tact.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
I've had an itch the last few months to look into having the inserts (middle section) of my perfectly fine 997 seats done in Houndstooth/Pepita. - inspiration from the 911R and a mex blue 996 I eyeballed at #HB2. It looks fantastic! I think it will give my car a nice retro look and contrast, being polar silver in colour
Anyone recommend and high quality workshops that could undertake the job in Melb? Preferably inner NE
cheers,
I’m in the SE and there’s 2 joints down here I know of...... blackmans in Moorabbin and the guy I went to. Blackmans is pricey but you’ll get a great result, they do all types old and new classics, etc.... my guy may have only done old AC cars I think. But he’s heaps cheaper than blackmans and did a pretty good job for me.
Also, Darren at autocoupe is up your way (NE) ... he’s a mechanic but may know someone out that way. Also, I think there’s some other posts here that point to outer east re-trimmers, etc....Try do a PFA search.
imho source a seat of race seats and go to town. not saying you are ruining your seats by modifying but sort of a shame. i will be very hard to get it fitted right and costly. my brother is a custom trimmer and by all means you can ask the question to him @dynamictrimming on ig. I like your idea of a custom touch!
Assume you mean other than blackmans.... (They’re both in moorabbin)
D&J motor trimmers (Joe), 417 warrigal rd moorabbin
- he’s just a one man band operation
- he has some std Porsche fabrics from memory and a few other samples to look at but if you want something unique like the tartan i got done it’s byo.
- it’s factory 4 or something, it’s a bit hard to find as his wshop is down a driveway off street (a group of small businesses)
- my suggestion is keep it simple and you won’t be disappointed
(I’m OS at the monent so don’t hav much more info... if google him you’ll find the address & number)
I used BM Leather in Richmond who was able to bring my seats back to looking like new, he had to do some re-trimming on the bolsters but otherwise was able to keep most of it stock which reduced cost but more importantly kept originality in tact. It's amazing what they can do with nice old leather to bring it back from the dead.
Plus I think I’m right in saying the guy that owns blackmans at Moorabbin is a Porsche owner I’m sure he had a 911 cab was putting a new roof and interior into it the last time I called in.
I had a couple of seats re-trimmed by Mick Langford in Bulleen. Did a good job, and sounds like location could be handy.

Appreciate all the feedback and recommendations guys,
I'm in Richmond so there's some handy locations mentioned near me! Couple of quotes for now and I'll see how I go
