Little Green Giant Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 yes... but you asked if you were being dumb... the fact you had to ask, proves you were LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I just figured that re-upholstering (albeit the rears only) would cost more than the seat set itself initially, so it seems a rather costly mod.....And surely an upholsterer would rather just use new leather than re-hash old??

Little Green Giant Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 but would cost the customer a lot less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I would charge more labour though personally, as it's more work - taking the old leather off carefully, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowPoke Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Haha, i've never owned a car with rear seats even my 4 door scooby had none, passangers = weight, jesus its bad enough with one extra person in a 1.0 so yeah i dont need access to the back hence my choice Thanks for or the comments though i am loving them! piratey material arrived but no glue doh! so that wont be done this weekend now I did however fit my orange repeaters and made a little sticker, it looks okay but ill be more happy when i've made a proper domed version so it looks like a legit badge.
