I do like the look of those, my cabby is all white so I'm thinking some sort of black/white combination.  I'll have to have a look around and see what people have done.

Don't look too shabby at all bud! Did you remove all the old seat material first? Was looking through djrussf1's build thread and he stripped it all off and put extra foam in to pad it all out.

Seat looks ok think a bit of padding would prob sort it if you wanted it tighter.

Found they were a bit slack without extra padding.

Pain in the arse to get right but worth the extra effort.

Used 12mm upholsterers scrim foam.

Original foam…



Extra applied…



Very tight fit…my fingers were raw!!!



Will get some pics when they're back in the car.

Worth taking your time and you can get them nice!

Good luck with them!

Fitting instructions?

What fitting instructions?

I wish!

Fair play for fitting them in a weekend. Mine took longer but agree a good result can be achieved.

Thats why I'm going to go with getting them to fit mine. I can see me getting really stressed out with trying to fit them.

Yeah I do have paitents but with 3 kids trying to help all the time and not a great amount of space to set them aside and sort them out other than the sitting room or outside, for the money they want to fit I'm quite happy.
