Upgraded seats on my 214

Post by Hammond »

I finally managed to source a decent half leather set of seats to replace my worn out cloth ones and happy with the result:

Quite a difference I reckon and considering they came out of a car which has done over 160k they are in remarkable condition.
Now time to tackle the sagging headlining :slapme

I've only done the passenger side to see if I liked it and still undecided. Both need doing so still looking for other possibilities.

If you want to save the Silverstone door cards from your donor car just in case, my local scrappy has a base spec 3-door in at the moment with door cards similar to your originals (before you covered them in red). Let me know if you want me to grab them: he might want a tenner each for them, though.

It depends on the condition of the drivers one as I could do with a better one. The arm rest bit has sunk in like most of them do. If you're going down there then check it out for me but don't make a special trip :)
Thanks

Nice work with the seats. I've got a pair of rear Silverstone door cards if they're any good?

:oops it's a 3 door car unless you meant the rear interior with the pockets in them.
