For your info, the half-leather Porsche seats including the retrimmed rear bench, were in my blue G60 when I bought it (I have pics), the guy who had who owned it previously had bought the seats from Renshaw, then I sold the Porsche seats to Peter Munns about two months after I got my blue G60. Then I got my cloth electric Recaros (now sold and replaced with half-leather electric recaros).

 

Still a sweet car, whoever had previously owned the seats, but whichever way you look at it ya'll, they are definetely my old seats ;-)

well after goin on a few runs in the rado runnin it in ive decided i wanted to go a little lower at the back, but even tho ive got rid of the lip on the rear arches it still scrubs on the tyres slightly so ive decided to book it into wide-wheels not that far from me and have them rolled, pulled ,flared to get that air ride look without chewin my tyres to bits .

it goes in on saturday and if any of the arches need painting again im gunna get em blown over , all ready for ultimate dubs and 08

Cheers for that, seem ok priced from some prices i have heard but it obviously doesnt include the paintwork if its needed.

 

They also do a group buy on arches, 2-4 cars gets it cheaper :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

And they are VW nuts even better 8)
