Erox or Peaches & Cream.
But is this really the place to ask?
I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

Your being a bit cagey on the details there Chris...boot project eh, sure.
Anyway there is a guy who makes belts out the back of his car at the Glenfield Mall markets (+car shows/swap meets etc) I think he calls himself the Belt King. Really great quality and cheap! Real leather, I've bought a couple of belts from him + I got him to replace the straps on my bikes saddle bags once. -did a great job.
Only person that comes to mind I'm afraid.... That is, if that's what your after... :wink:

I don't offhand, but my first thought would be a saddlery where they make horsey stuff or a canvas'ser. Many of the upholstery factories are all machine based whilst you need something hand-made properly.

Auto Upholstery? Try the place next door to where you got your car panelbeated in Glenfield, think it is Grant's Auto Upholstary, took the SUV there to get the leather seats fixed up when the stiching came apart, and he did a pretty good job.

So let me get this straight.... Your car has pink wheels and you want to add a leather bikini &/or G-string to it??

Way to really butch up the MX5 image dude!
Whats next? A huge sound system so you can belt out the Spice Girls album or perhaps the Glee soundtrack?... :lol: :lol: :wink:

Not to sure if you are serious or not.. But "butch up" a mx5? really? It's a chick car. And unless you have one that looks like Charlies (over in aussie) they all look like chick cars.

And no. Dick head. Get it right. Justin Bieber and One Direction. gawd ;)

Haha! Justy Bieber, that would be a great look down queen street!
And No I'm far from serious! (sarcasm is hard to type)

I've got ABBA 'Waterloo' on cd single if you want a copy!
