Just done my first Kat Skin (bloody hard work). Have used extra padding for seat cushion and back rest. Looks a bit more inviting than standard. What do ya reckon.

 

Also, had Z logos in matching colour... less is more!!

 

Just want to know what people think?

Is it this one mate?

 

Sorry to hijack your thread a bit here but i HAVE to get it!

 

That's the same brand and it looks like it has the same hidden fixing screws. They look a lot less gimmicky IMO than some other after market ones (less is more!).

 

I would say go for it. If I get time I will seee if i can get you the name of the guy who supplied mine, he was very helpfull.

That really is lovely Andy! Good work there and liking the colour. Makes me want to get on with doing my retrim. But have to get more important things done first. Desperate to get on with it though and these piccies are making me want to do it even more.

 

I think the Kat skins are the ones that jimmer has in his car. Can vouch for the fit being good, seemingly no saggy bits or wrinkles etc. He also used extra padding in the seats to give it a more firm and new look. Kat skin looks a lot better than the nippon ones IMHO.

looks good, although i have the nippon ones and no saggy bits or wrinkles looks pretty much the same!!

that looks great bud :duffer:

That's funny, word on the street is that you HAVE got saggy, wrinkly nippons!! Never mind, none of us are getting any younger.

I think i may have read his thread which is where I got the idea to pad them out a bit. I used the existing foam on the cloth seat cover as it it already there and would otherwise go to waste.

If only you knew how stupid i really am ;)

 

I have been looking over the posts for these and have seen the detailed instructions but just wanted to get an impression of how hard it really is by someone who has just done it.

 

If i can make it look a 1/4 as nice as you have then id be made up. Stunning job again mate :D

 

:smash: If i could make just a little suggestion...

 

Get hold of a set of cloth seats and re-trim them, then atleast you've still got a pretty damn good condition set of original leathers to put back in if you screw it up. I 'm not 100% but i think the cloth seats for your car may still be in my dads lock-up :confused:

your all cheeky mo fos!!! nothign wrinkly bout my nippons, the ar5e seems to be going south these days though!!

Thats a great idea and if you do have them ill grab them off you if thats ok?

 

Just let me know cost and postage which will be pretty steep but id rather that then the 400+ miles over and back ;)

the ar5e seems to be going south these days though!!
