My new dining chairs - now got a complete set!
« on: 04 January 2009, 19:02 »
Pics don't make them look that great but they are much cleaner than is suggested!!






Will be collecting the fronts tomorrow - couldn't fit them in the car last night  :grin: :grin:

indeed - they would have been handy at Christmas  :grin: :grin:

well did have a go at fitting them today but the old ones refused to come out  :rolleyes:  need a bigger persuading tool methinks - they literally are clipped in but i couldn't get the clip to move far enough - its then just a case of pulling them out sideways.

they came out of the donor car in about 5 minutes lol

picking up the fronts tomorrow and will be giving them a good clean as they are filthly - then probably fit them in work the following day - takes 5 minutes to remove the front seats  :smiley:

Have you only got normal seats then Rhys? or was it a case of finding some with the blue?  :nerd:
I need some new propper seats.
Where did you find them, and how much did they set you back?
I need cream seats, if anyone see's any give moi a shout. :afro:

Thats typical, donnar car 5 mins and out :smiley:, mind you they should look real good all cleaned up and fitted! dont forget a pic fitted!


finding a clean interior must be quite difficult. right off possibly!

i've got the cost-cutting 'sport seats' in mine  :sad:  they are comfy but not quite as supportive as the Recaro's - certainly not the fronts anyway! and yeah they are in Blue - been searching for a set for a while but they've all been the black / grey ones and i just don't think it would look right

got them from my good mate Dai Cymru - they are out of his donor car - lets say i got a very good deal :afro:

don't worry i'll get up some pics :afro:

yeah the drivers side has some waer to it but i reckon its a cheap fix for an upholsterer

the donor car has had a very hard life  :sad:
