Interior Retrim

Does anyone know of someone who can re trim the interior of my +2? I am looking to get new carpets, new headlining, door cards and retrimmed seats. Someone local to the West Midlands would be good. Any advice, experience or tips would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi

I had my interior re-covered by Evans Upholstry & Coach Trimmer in Peterborough. He does a lot of work for Spyder so has plenty of experience with the +2.

The contact number is 01733 205 980

There are some pictures of my interior to be found here:

SJ Sportscars sell a headlining, but it needs a fair amount of trimming to fit.

Good luck

Thanks for that info. Interesting web site. The photos of the dash were interesting. What is the photo “IM001442.jpg” Is it a solenoid for the vacuum pods? If so could I please have some further information on it.

Thanks again

I looked at your site and was impressed. Who’s the guy in Yokshire who does sodablasting as I’m looking into this as an option.

Cheers

The solenoid is controlled by a switch on the dash to remotely control the headlamp vacuum. I think I bought the switch from either Christopher Neils or SJ Sportscars.

Details of the soda blasting company can be found here:

In the end I opted to sand off the paint down to the polyester primer filler. The soda blasting technique seemed to take off all of the paint right down to the gel coat, leaving many small air holes that would require repairing.

Andy,
I bought my solenoid from Chrisneils as recommended by Andy from Spyder. However, it is not the same as the one in Kevins website. Mine works fine.
