Modifying Standard Seats....



  Renault 5 GT Turbo
Just thought I would show you some of these pics.
Not everyone can afford to or even want to go and splash out loadsa dollar on Recaros etc..Although if you wanted we could modify your own seats to look like Recaros..
So I thought i'd show you what a little imagination can do..oh and not to mention skill and patience..:D
The pics I am gonna show you are of standard Fiesta seats..
We told the customer that rather than spend on new seats and subframes..we said we could re shape theirs to an original style where people would wanna know what they were and where they came from and trust me..it worked..
See what do you think....(Again I know it won't be to everyones tastes)

If I have posted them in the right order it should be like this....

Pic 1 - Standard Fiesta Seats - Already Trimmed by us..
Pic 2 - Fiesta Headrest - Extra foam to accommodate face lift conversion..
Pic 3 - Fitted before shaping..
Pic 4 - All shaped..
Pic 5 - Tilt handle still works..
Pic 6 - Stage 1 cover..
Pic 7 - Completed seat - with headrest all molded into the backrest to give a new and original look..
Pic 8 - Rear of completed seats..
Pic 9 - Both completed seats fitted..

good craftmanship, horrible looking seats lol only my opinion, of course they were s**t to start with so youve done a great job, just dont like the trim.

btw about saving money on getting "fancy recaro`s" how much is it for a full leather retrim ? a cobra monaco bucket seat is £120 cobra imola aobut £170

A full leather re trim costs..thats true but i'm not slating other seats just simply showing pics of what can be done..No offence or harm meant..
