Anyone have any idea on how much a full retrim would cost for an avamt Am looking to change colour from cream to black ?

Mega bucks. Save a search alert on eBay for a black set or 'B6 S4 Breaking' and you'll get an email whenever one gets listed.

It'll work out a fraction of the cost. I'd say you'd be looking at £1k just for the comparable quality leather, before labour costs.

My Dad had a wingback chair retrimmed in leather last year and the leather for that was £350. Ended up £600 all in on mates rates as he was in no rush.

Mine ended up being just under £2K buddy here a link to some pics of the work

I had all the seats front and back retrimmed, all the door cards and the gearbox gaiter as well.

I am very happy with the results and it has made the car feel a very different inside instead of the original all black.

Hope this helps

That looks really really nice, could save some money and use the cream to look as good as that... :-)

Food for thought Pmj :) I think the cream and black would look just as nice buddy and as you say would help keep the costs down :D
