So it's true, people don't really pay attention to what's on here :roll:

I've done my doors, Craig Cummings did his doors and seats, there was another member with a red BA who did his doors and seats - off the top of my head :roll:

No way...

My F "theme" is all black and green, so they suite him just fine.
The picture was not the best...

Here's one in the day light:

Steering wheel matching new seats:

The detail in drivers mat:

Today i changed the speakers in front doors.

To some Sony Xplod 140W 3 Way

I got them in my Fiesta that went to scrap for a new Mazda 2

Get some adaptors:

In place:

Old

VS.
New

Need do get the adaptors to the rear one's but the shipping price has changed from 4,99£ to 24,99£ :roll:

They are a nice upgrade compared to the old ones, sound more clear and much more power :badgrin:

Sorry, I am a bit late but some time ago Zangas had his seats re-upholstered. How did his upholsterers get the cover off the squab? I recently fitted leather seats. The drivers seat back needed repair and was easy to remove but getting the base cover would require me to dismantle the seat mechanisim...or so it looked. If I could have got the cover off I could have replaced the foam which is a bit saggy. has anyone ever done this?

Nice as always

My english is not so good nowadays, and i cant understand what do you mean with this "How did his upholsterers get the cover off the squab?"

All i know is that they use the old fabric to get the outline for the "leather", and they dismantle the seats to get the foam replaced...

Thanks mate :cheers:

But it wont get any lower :cry:

Thank you for your reply Zangas. When I try to get the cover off the bottom part of the seat (that you sit on) the levers and controlls come through the covering on the side of the seat. I would need to take these off to take the cover off and change the foam. How do I remove them without it all falling apart? I wish I spoke Portugese!

**Posted:** Sat Oct 06, 2012 4:29 pm

Nice car mate. Like the leather inside and the car looks really nice and clean.

**Posted:** Sat Oct 06, 2012 4:32 pm

By the way, how much cost the leather?
