Hey All,
Seeing that its almost impossible to find a second hand SLR interior, i am going to have to retrim my original.
I want it to be retrimmed in the black/slate vynl with the golfball inserts(if this is still available), does anyone know of any trimming companies in Sydney that does good work, and not only good work, but resto work at that?

Golfball inserts are still available. If you have no luck in Sydney then you can have the seat covers made up in either Brisbane or Melbourne and shipped to you in Sydney. You would then need to have them fitted by any upholsterer in Sydney. Covers are around $1980 plus shipping.

Don't know of anyone in Sydney but if your after a primo interior for your SLR than Eastern Auto Upholstery in Bayswater(Melbourne) have some of the best around.The only do reproduction upholstery for all the ausie classic cars.You can have a complete reproduction SLR interior which includes all seats redone,new door trims,door tops,roof lining,kick panels,rear parcel shelf,carpet and all that for the price of $2900.It might seem expensive but its worth it.Thats the way I will be going when time comes to reupholster the car.

If you are only after certain parts of the interior than the individual prices are as follow:Seats redone $1650,door trims $660,door tops $66,carpet $165,kick panels $44,parcel shelf $88,roof lining $220.The above prices for seats were for black seats with herringbone inserts,not sure if it is the same for golf ball inserts.

Hi Herne,
How do i get in contact with a member if he is not online? (sorry if this sounds stupid).
Kangur, i was after the seats (front & Back) and four doortrims in the black vinyl with the golfball style insert, dont know the trim codes sorry, the codes on my plates are for the brown colour, as the car left factory as a L32 Slr, the previous owner, when he rebuilt it back in 84 painted it in ultra blue with blackouts just like an A9X and fitted the spoilers & flares.
Now when he did the interior, instead of doing it in the right scheme, retrimmed it all in black & grey velour, but the retirm resembles the right inserts etc, if you know what i mean.
I already have the new kickpanels so dont need them, have a custom tray so woulnt require that, but might need roof lining in the future.
Thanks for all the help so far.
p.s. I read through some of the older posts and even though its been a while, my condolensces, i know how it feels to lose a much loved vehicle, in the mid nineties my father had an original SLR 5000 that he was holding aside for me, till i was old enough to get my licence, it was garaged for a number of years!
He had to leave it out overnight reluctantly, and it was gone the next day, never to be found again.
About four years ago my cousin was in cash converters and he noticed a tool kit that looked like my fathers, so he called my father who went down and id'ed it, it was the tools that were in the SLR, we traced ir back to a girl, who hocked it in to get a hit. Her b/f, who is currently in jail had them lying around and she was strapped for cash.
Needless to say, theres not much we can do from out here while he is inside, but both my father and myself are waiting for the day he comes out. More me than my father as it would have been my car.
I guess what i am trying to say is that, there will come a time that they get theres back, its Karma the world is round!

No probs,I'll speak to the guy tomorrow about your seats and door trims I think I know what your after as I've had a few LX SLR in the past.I'll send you a PM tomorrow when I'll come back from there.They have a big showroom with their work and it does look pretty impresive, he knows everything about aussie muscle trim as thats all he makes and if the prices will suit you believe me you will be one happy customer.

Went down today and spoke with the owner.What you're after is no problem it just depends what model car if you want LH SLR style trim it costs $1850 and LX SLR is $1650 fitted.It makes no price difference if you get it fitted in sydney or if he does it for you so you can't save dollars that way you'll just have to pay a courier company to ship them to Melbourne and back.The door skins are the same price all the way through the range and cost $660.
You can call them on (03)97205444.Sorry they do not have a website as yet but apparently its in the process.I've seen today the coverings that you are after and it does look bloody fantastic.Hope this helps.

Hi mate, give SLR5000 an email, he has a guy out at Windsor
who works cost effectively (cheap) and does a great job.
Original materials too. Golf ball vinyls etc.
This fella takes his time though!! Seats, hood lining & door trims.
(I think plasweld do the door trims out at Moorebank?)
