Ok, they werent Recaro's and they are in Blue but they are mint condition and for £20 I cant complain.  :grin:

Was gonna swap em for red ones but after trial fitting the passenger seat Ive decided I like the colour contrast.

Its only slight blue anyway, not solid like I thought they were.

Toying with the idea of some blue clocks now, where can I get them from?

I know, I wrote that and then realised I havent took any yet  :grin:

Ive only got the passenger seat and part of the rear bench in at the minute but I'll get some later when Ive finished.  :laugh:

They look good, nothing wrong with your old seats though, looks like there is plenty of life left in the current drivers seat.  :grin:


So, blue seats in a red car, looks like some more colour coding will be on the cards soon then.

 :grin: :grin: Im still trying to work out how/if I can make it work.  :undecided:

And yeah, nothing wrong with the drivers seat, as long as you like bits of t shirt superglued over huge holes on your drivers seats  :grin: :grin:

T shirt seats, it's all the rage!

Yeah of course it will work, couple more blue bits here and there and it will look like they were always there.

All done -



They actually look better in person than in the picture.

Only problem Ive had is that one of the airbag connections has been cut off one of the seats and now my airbag light is on.

Tomorrow I will wire one from one of my old seats onto it and hopefully the light will go off?!!  :undecided: :sick:

Oh, I also really like the idea of blue dials but cant find any anywhere? Anyone know? :tongue:
