errrrrr, that man there, OR g-man? either way, think it'll get phat'en some more, an charg/turb..................

Ha ha, i were only joking :lol: ...........sorry

:mrgreen:

well all done now, might not be dye'd totally but,......DAMN!! there snug! :D I put an extra piece of foam in the back for lumbar support. didnt get any build up pics,cos i quickly built em while the misses was getting ready to go out last night. :lol:

AHHH!!!! just put em back together!! :lol: ah well thanks for finding it anyhow. tbh i dont no if stiches would take many more washes. but thanks.

built one seat up yesterday, doing the other next day or so, But untill then heres a game for you its called guess which ones been dye'd?!? :lol:

:( Dye didnt take, I used dylon dye, done it all by the book an nothing :( it might be a tiny bit darker but not alot. On the up side tho (like the misses helpfully pointed out) there now VERY clean after being washed 3times :lol: im gonna try an build the seats back up over the next few days so will post some pics. :)

I must set aside aday (or two!!) to read your whole thread again. Would you be able to put a guide price on what all the converstion bits cost?? An is the list on page one everything thats needed? I found a company that says £2500 to turbo a 16v, for the lot. Whole job! Im thinking it cant be that cheap? Thanks. Btw, this would of looked awesome 8)

Did wonder if they were'nt vag, well, this was my desktop but you just bumped it!! :lol:

how true is all this..... Quite miss my valver, especially while I nurse the vr around hoping that nothing else tries to fall off before the valver achieves roadworthyness----- :lol: Yep! been there. :lol: Id just buy another one, youre going to at some point..-----Yep! i thorght i wuldnt but did :lol: Aye...Its crazy how you notice the little things...Like the seating position,it really is superb,more so than i already thought!-----Yep!! THE biggest one for me, i have not come across another car with such a excellant driving position, its like your cocooned in there!! :Mr Green: (Riley think your getting abit too excited bout windows an stalks :lol: :lol: )

Hats off to you :notworthy: Love it love it!! 8) Are those steels 16"? didnt think you could get 4stud in 16"? what were they origanal for?

I second, third an fourth that!!!! as for you other two up there^^^, Buy mine!! viewtopic.php?f=12&t=63740 problem solved!! :D

well, it just has to be these. 8) 8) 8)

Still looking good 8) Hows the gearbox issue? do you have any links for the turbo conversion?, ive had a good look on jabba web but couldnt see any? :(

Ahhh, i did wonder how they come out. will hopfully be dying them over the weekend :? . Some thing that did have me scratching my head tho, was the headrest!!! i was pushing an pulling em like no tomorrow!!, trying to press secret buttons that werent there!! it wasnt till i got the inserts out that i noticed they've got an R clip holding them in!!! :multi: :cheers:

ooo, look what turned up today?! :) made a start at cutting an trial fitting, backs dont need touching,bum bit will need a section at the front (crudly showen in photo) an bolsters need shaping (show in photo). wont be cutting notches out until all bits are glued together. Let me know what you think, good or bad. Thanks.

whens the repete? Thanks

I have not stopped looking at these girls since i first saw the thread, Its as if i can feel them. errr there pain i mean. :norty:

Right, screw paying £85 sheets for some bolsters.......Im gonna make my own :shock: :? :lol: just payed the small sum of £40 pounds for 6 slabs of extra firm foam from here http://www.efoam.co.uk/index.html :D So that should do the bum,back an bolster bits. Bolster bits will need a little shaping but the other two should just pop in :) Will keep you posted :D Cheers Tim, Karl you have pm.

Hello, Yes there recaro's out of a rs turbo. Ive seen one place for bolsters but that'll be £85 for all 4.(is this a good price?) I'll re foam the bum an back bit myself as there just pretty much oblong slabs. But like you say the bolsters will be hard to shape :? Did you just stuff foam in the split/holes when you done yours then?

had a go at removing the fabric today, an guess what?...........i done it!!! :lol: first seat i took me time on (1hour), cos when i try an do somthing i usually balls it up or break it. So slowly slowly catch the monkey was order of the day, an it worked,second seat took me no more than 10mins to strip (i kid you not!) V happy :D . So question time... Im abit worried about putting it in the wash machine as it still has some plastic an wire sitched on (removing this is not an option). Also it was stapled together when i removed it, so i take it i can just staple it back together? KADVR6 did you staple yours? what stapler did you use? Need to also get some new foam bolster etc.... Anyone know the best cheapest place to get these??? was thinking of making my own with a large slab of foam?? What fabric are the seats???? polyester??? Anyone know of a good dying kit???

Thank you, Will do. I should be giving this ago either this weekend or next, :D

Lufbramatt, I was thinking the same, she's never happy most of the time let alone with a nice dye stain on her 'arris :lol: (you dont have a link do you??) KADVR6, I was kinda guessing i'd be going down this route, as the seats could do with a little stiffening up anyhow. When you remove the fabric, does it just slid off like a glove(sort of) or do you need to undo stiching? ......(runs off to look at your thread again)

Has anyone done this?? I got a set of recaro's (rs turbos) but want to change colour from Dark grey to black, Seen the other thread about colouring leathers, but wondered if you could do the same with cloth?? an if you use the spray can dye, can you do it as seats are now without removing fabric??? Thanks.
