Will be collecting the fronts tomorrow - couldn't fit them in the car last night :grin: :grin:
-
Looking good :cool:
-
They look nice a clean :smiley:
Dont think my other half would go for them in the dinning room much, but i can work on her. or do you mean dining chairs as in drive through kentucky!
when they being fitted?

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:
