    Recaro seats just in time!

    Brought these seats a while ago with a fooked bolster a tare and in the wrong colour.
    But they where cheap.

    Got a local firm to replace the damaged material with black leather (about 3 weeks ago)

    I then Used gliptones felxicote system to dye them black (today) and fitted them to the car (about half an hour ago)

    I'm 95% please with the results and have enough dye kit left to have another go if I chose too.

    Not supposed to use seats for 24 hours after final seal coat is applied so I have had to leave a small heater in the car over night to cure them. (praying this works )

    Anybody fancies a look tomorrow your more than welcome

              They looked great mate and finish off the interior really nicely

              So would you recommend that trimmer in Erdington?

                A big no to the trimmer in Erdington, didn't want to know.

                Used some lads in Rubery



                £80 to do one and a half bolsters which I thought was well cheap.
