I will be looking have the interior of my MGB retrimmed in a few months, possibly October/November time. I've rang around and got a few quotes but I've also been looking Trim Kits. Obviously a retrim will be more expensive than buying the kit and having it fitted but I just wondering whether anyone has had any experience with an interior kit of any kind and are they as good as they look etc?

I'd say probably not. Usually with these sorts of professional services it is much more sensible to allow the professional to buy the parts he requires to do his usual job in his usual way. If you start interjecting with inferior or unusual quality items you can upset the apple cart and end up with an inferior finish where you have tried to circumvent the normal process. An example might be how a particular material responds to glue used to attach it. Perhaps the material you supply would react badly with the glue your chosen fitter normally uses. It will crackle and wrinkle and will have to be pulled off and done again. You'll either be a really annoying customer or you'll end up paying for the work do be done twice.
Given the risks involved, I'd say normally it's better to just trust the professional who does it every day to get it right and to order the right bits.

They have probably improved a lot now but I remember aftermarket carpet kits for the MGB's being a real curse word to get fitting anything like as the originals seemed to have been produced with a shape stretched/ moulded into them and the kits come flat....
