My half leathers are starting to show their age now so I am looking at getting them retrimmed before fcs.
If I decide to go half leather again, I will only be getting the fronts done as the rear bench is mint but in also thinking this could be a good excuse for a change so give me your ideas folks!
I don't want any bright colours and I can't afford to do the entire interior in leather. I have seen some good fake leathers but what sort of prices am I looking at compared to real leather?
Also, can anyone recommend somewhere that will do it? I've emailed a few local places but I am willing to travel for the job. I know Pompey mark got his done and the quality of work looked very good!

Depends if it's leather or not. If it's half leather, I'd be happy paying that!

Tbh as long as its real leather, I wouldn't be too fussed. French leather is pretty crap quality anyway and look how well most of them last.
The leather on mine is in very good condition. It's just the alacantara that's fallen to pieces.
