fatttty Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Picked up my rear seats on Saturday, I had the backs covered in a grey carpet material to match the boot florring, tidied them up no end as the metal backs were scratched to buggery...ACP'd the head lights and sidelights, machine polished the faces and dressed the plastics...Put my upper and lower bumper parts together and also refitted the LCR splitter, ready and waiting in my mom and dads living room to be fitted lol!Also fitted my new battery as the original is ruined from lack of use, ACP'd and dressed my arch liners and dressed all the engine bay plastics. Its going to be a long week with lots of late nights, swearing and pacing the office at work waiting for phone calls from people with my parts.Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatttty Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Can't wait to see this at the weekend You've put in so much hard work and it really does show Thanks amber Joe i brought the material from James on here when he had some spare. I paid about £5 for the material as £30 for paul @ premier to trim it and glue in place. It can be done DIY but I was scared about removing the seat material and getting glue on the leather.
