Back in a DC5

[Gally]

Much better dude! Can't help but feel sad it's not CW.

 

[Bjorn]

Lol, i know.

 

[CrippsCorner]

On red I prefer the lighter colours on wheels... awesome car though. Seats look great!

Car looks good man! Only seen one other DC5 in the last 6 months! Whereabouts in Brizzy are ya?

Thanks mate. I've actually moved up to Gladstone in CQ.

Wheels look much better in ampasite. How strict are they in oz with modifications? Do they forbid/restrict them or just make you pay extortionate insurance costs?

 

[Lukas1]

Pretty much everyone out here has their car modified lol utes, 4x4s the lot.

 

[JackD]

Oh really? I thought they were strict for some reason

 

[Bjorn]

I think some places in Europe, maybe France dont allow car mods. Not Australia though, everyones at it.

My DC5 is standard though and apart from springs itll probably stay that way. If i could only find somewhere that sells Spoon progressives

That wheel colour has really set your DC5 off, looks ace!

Cheers mate. Just need some centre cap decals, some lows and it's sorted.

 

[wayne9989]

Mine sits quite well and that's on Eibach Pro springs, maybe they're easier to get hold of than the Spoon progressives?

Good work on the seats. I went to look at a DC5 which I loved the drive of. The only problem..

I know the bottom bolster you can get the cloth and foam for. Any ideas if you can for the top?

The material itself for a retrim is hard to get a hold of, it would probably be cheaper and easier to buy a second hand black recaro seat. If you can find someone willing to sell it singularly.

Thanks mate. Capital sell it for the bolster so ive emailed and asked the question if they can get or supply the material.

If you can't get the material mate the subframes are interchangeable so it doesn't matter if you buy a passenger side seat as a replacement.

^ Yeah this is true, I swapped my seats over and it evens out the east on the bolster covers.

I'm not sure it would be that easy to fix the hole, guess you'd have to compare the price of a retrim by someone who knows what they're doing and a replacement seat. Integrastella on eBay breaks lots of dc5s so that would be a place to look.

Thanks. I've actually had a quote back. £90 for the material and £150 for the labour. Not bad I didn't think. That's a upholsterer which is an official Recaro dealer.

That's not too bad, just need to get that fog sorted and your onto a winner mate.

 

[wayne9989]

I'm not too keen on the fog being recessed into the bumper either.
