Hopefully not the illuminas green as in the example pics !

 

lol

What colour did you go for?

 

Just plain black - not very adventurous I know but cant beat a black leather interior IMO! Plus I want it to match up as best as possible to the rears :)

Bargain.

I'm intreaged to see how these turn out so keep us posted with pics.

 

good price if they look ok IMO

Looking at his feedback it seems they come from china, but a bargain non the less.

for £80 it will be a good test case :D

that is a ****ing steel. i was going to get skins for the intereour from the same guy (i think) were going for £65, but i don't no weather to risk it, cos chances are i won't be able to find a similar red.

if its mame from the same place in china as mine did. there spot on and there the same as funky si to :)

 

the only problem is they smell dead lol!! so air them off for a week or to :yes:

seem a good price mate. wil be intrested to find out what the are like, keep us posted

Well, they have just turned up & am well impressed so far! Quality seems really good - all lined with foam on the inside & appear very nicely made. Proof of the pudding will be when fitted I know. Will update when fitted :balloon:

 

 

 

They look superb for that sort of money! Well worth the money and effort getting them over here :D

The exact same as mine. They fit a treat. you will just need some extra padding for the bolsters as the old foam will be miss shapen.

 

Iv orderd another set for the supra :duffer:

Started on my passenger seat tonight. Removed the seat, headrest off, separated the backrest & removed the cover. Will update with pics on this thread as I do the job :)

Si's came from leatherseats.com in the USA.

Not had much time to do much more on these as have had other jobs to get done.

 

Got some more done today - backrest & headrest done now, the backrest may need a little re-tensioning but all in all very happy with the result:

 

 

Have stripped the seatbase & started to fit the leather, should get that finished beginning of next week then onto the drivers seat :)

Looking good!

 

How much blood have you lost so far? ;)

Not much as I dont really use the hog rings for much of the work! Some parts it is better to use them but for a lot of the tight internal fixings I use small cable ties, so much easier, tension is perfect & they are more than strong enough! :cool3:

Yeah i know mate. They all come from the same place. China :clown:

got one seat done - for some reason the seat covers & nice & tight all over apart from the front of the seat base where they seem to have used too much material! Still - well happy for £80!!

 

 

Looks good I won the auction after you, will have a crack at mine soon

cool! :thumbup: Not too bad a job really, just a little time consuming.

The only downside to the covers is the material they use to slide the metal rods through to hold the covers to the frame is made of tissue paper! In most places you can go through the leather & the material behind the rods to secure it.

Wow! Only just seen this!

 

For that money you can't complain. Mine were a lot more than that!!

 

Just a small point - I think these are based on copies of the cloth seats which is why you are having fitting issues on the front of the seat as the shape of the front section is slightly different.

 

Any one else fitting these I would recomend you re-cover a set of cloth seats to get the best fit.
