I picked up my car today from Tony the Trimmer (07794 367 182) who works in Bedfordshire.

I am absolutely delighted with the job he has done. The headliner which was super super saggy all the way from the front to the boot (i think due to snow build up on the roof during ski-ing trips every year) now looks like it just came out of the factory new. It is perfect. Tony and his son who works with him had great attention to detail- they noticed one of the interior lights (central passenger side) was not working and fixed it. They also noticed the rear door window was slow to wind up and lubricated the runners.

I have had jobs like this done in the past by other less professional technicians and driven down the road to find the DAB aerial has somehow been fubar'd or something annoying like an interior light doesn't work- i checked everything and it was absolutely 100% perfect.

I recommend Tony and his son wholeheartedly for C5 RS6 headliners and based on the experience i had i'd also recommend them for any car trimming work required. Bang on old fashioned master technicians with attention to detail....... incredibly rare.

I will post pics tomorrow, but all you'll see is a perfect RS6 headliner hahaha!

Nice one. 👏😎

Did they reuse the old Alcantara or supply new?

Reused- it is unmarked and I wanted to keep the car as original as possible. I'm owner 2 and the car has never been owned by a smoker or had dogs in it etc so the only issue was the foam under the alcantara was completely perished.

Nice to hear that there are some good old fashioned skilled trimmers out there.
Who go that extra bit to provide an incredible service at a very reasonable price.
