White seat retrims

Well my retrims have finally arrived today so i made a start straight away with fitting them…..

BEFORE.



AFTER



Only managed to get the rear seat done today as it took me 3.5hrs. Will try and have a go at the front ones at the weekend.

Going to have to pay Newton Commercials a visit now to get some white door cards to match  

Cool, where did you get them from and what was the damage?

Got them here mate…

Lordy that looks good. Reasonable price too!

Hurry up and fit the rest so I can see what the fronts look like! :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Seriously, I've just sent the guy a message asking him to send me some samples of the grey and silver. My only concern with this kinda covering is that it won't be durable, especially with two kids. I don't expect the earth for £150 but what's the quality of the material like, is it the thick or the thin stuff?

I also asked for samples Tian. I thought they were good enough when they arrived so placed the order.

After fitting the rears i think it will be quite durable. I have two kids aswell.

Looking forward to getting the fronts fitted. Hopefully this weekend  

Cool well done, they look brilliant and I suppose for the money you can't really complain!

I was looking at these too

did you take the old cloth off?

Yes mate. You have to strip the seat down and take all of the metal rods out that hold the material on, swap them into the new retrims and build it back up again. I took my time with the rear seat and it took me around 3.5hrs

Just a quick update.

After 2.5hrs this morning i have finally finished the passenger seat  :mrgreen:

I forgot to take a before pic as it was raining when i took the seat out but you can guess what it looked like from the drivers seat.



Might get the other one finished today if i can be bothered, if not, it will deffo get finished tomorrow.

That looks pretty good mate. I've got a couple of samples coming my way next week.

Crack on!!!

Well after around 8hrs work they are finally in….   :clap:

Well I'm impressed, they look so much better and only eight hours and £150 later too.

Well done mate. :wink:

D4AVE - kind of you to start a new thread and glad you did - they look excellent. The cream colour sets the whole thing off a treat.
Will send off for samples myself.
That material makes sense in the cab as it does tend to attract a few more raindrops than tin tops…
 Can I ask you two questions?
What did you end up doing for door cards?
Also, out of interest, are they 4x6 speakers in the back - same as front? Might upgrade all at the same time.
If my seats end up like yours I would be very happy indeed.

I haven't got round to doing anything with the door cards yet but when i do i will be going to Newton Commercials for brand new white replacements, as for the rear speakers i am not sure on the size as i have never looked to be honnest!

Thanks anyway
