It was already on the car when I bought it. Its applied by spray and feels like the old flocked 70s style wallpaper (if your as old as me (or older) you'll remember it 
).
Just do an internet search on "flocking" and I'm sure you'll find it somewhere.
It would be a dashboard out job though.

Hi Rhybeck
There are actually quite a few kicking about, but apparently, there's only going to be one at the NBO this year by the looks of things

Hi all.
Just got back from Germany for 2 weeks. Drove to Rotterdam to catch the ferry to hull then all the way up to Inverness then home to aberdeen. A fairly boring drive i have to admit, nothing but straight motorways and anoying bmw drivers that just asked to be embarrassed! Driving through long tunnels around Amsterdam and Rotterdam put the grin factor through the roof, omfg what a sound a scoob can make!
Went the costal route down to aberdeen which is nice and winding and relatively quiet for some serious driving. Had my first understeer to oversteer experience which was a little unexpected! I've been pushing the car quite hard in the corners to see what its limits are and have found that its very prone to understeer. What's the normal process/setup for correcting/reducing this?
P.S. To the guy with the new age sti that wanted a race before edinburgh today- if it had not been for a sleeping passenger, boot and back seats fully laden and a slipping clutch, i would have quite happily given you a run for your money!

dou I find to drive round corners quickly you go in slow and accelerate out faster. for the fun factor go in quick and lift off and when the backend starts to swing just keep applying the throttle and balance the car on the voersteer. Takis practice tho

I'm after some original black, grey, red STi seats(front) for my V5 Type-R STi.(last owner swapped them!) Or even better, some blue V6 V-limited ones.
Anybody know where I can get soom from and how much they are likely to cost?

You could talk to the guys at Glenburgie. Usually quite good at sourcing parts. Cant remember exact name of website but put it i a search engine with 'subaru' and you should find them no bother.
