New Interior/Seat cover pics

Things never seem to go as fast as you would like. Last October I ordered a replacement Charcoal carpet set from World Upholstery for my 78 Spider. I finally got around to tearing out the old carpet at the end of the winter. I started to install the new carpet set only to find that the big piece for the area behind the seats was not correct and another piece was missing. World Uph worked with me to send replacement pieces only to discover that the new "die lot" for the carpet was colored slightly lighter that what I had installed in the rest of the car. They also left off the finished piping edge on the bottom of the piece. Again, World Uph was helpful and decided they would send an entire replacement set in the new lighter color. It is now mid-June, the weather is great and I have a 90% finished interior without a passenger seat. The new set arrived and the piping they used was light gray instead of the black like the original set. So I decided against removing all of the carpet I had painstakingly installed in the first place and I am left with a slightly lighter back piece, hardly noticeable when the top is down and covering it. I also ordered imitation sheep skin seat covers from seatcoversplus.com, an excellent company to work with and the $100 price was just right. So check out the before and after pics below and let me know if you are interested in a brand new gray interior with gray edging for a 78-93 Spider.

I live in Tewksbury, MA and was wondering on mechanical service for your Alfa. Whom do you take the vehicle to for any repairs?

Luckily with the help from many on this forum I have been able to do all of the work on my car by myself. That being said, I am sure there will come a time when I will need a professional and I have been told that Veloce Imports in Londonderry, NH is a good place to go.

Address: 33 Londonderry Rd. #14

Address: Londonderry, NH 03053

Phone: 603-434-7479
