I bought from Skinner's. The kit is in transit right now. I will post more as soon as I have it in hand.

:edit: received the Skinner kit on 19 Dec. Well packed, complete and looks beautiful. I also bought door pulls and door card inserts. Probably will take me to Spring to install. Ill post again then.

I highly recommend Aldridge trimming, they have made two lots of seats for us, the orginal ones and some MX5 ones and they did a wonderful job both times. Here is a picture of them side by side.

Aldridge are good. I have used 2 of their kits.

FWIW they are the trimmers Car SOS use.

They use Aldridge for proper interior work and others for repairs etc.
(The guy you see is Cliff as the owner of Aldridge is too shy to show himself on TV)

Seat diaphragms and foams, backrest fibres, and the rubber rings for the backs.
