Default My newly flocked dash & GT3 seats....

As per title really, my black & grey flocked dash and GT3 replica carbon & suede seats. I was a bit unsure about changing the seats as my old STi ones were sooooo comfortable, but after a 12hour crawl to JAE found these to be just as nice

Opinions welcome as usual. All i need now is a nice suede steering wheel to finish it off......

N.B . The seats may look brown, but i can assure you this is the camera playing tricks and they are infact black

Hi Jay,

As quoted above, it does look better in the flesh (but i would say that!) It looks alomost silver in the pics, but is quite a bit darker. Camera/flash again

Frayz - Your dash looks sweet, whole car actually, but 1 question....what do you clean your flock with?????

Nice wheels too, but i'm not keen on the newer wheels , probs get rit of airbag and get an omp or maybe just a good old re-trim.... i don't know!

Clean flock gently with a hoover and then fold a strips of good quality gaffer tape over on themselves and use the tacky side to pull lint off. Takes ages but really works good.

If you go to the dry cleaners, they do rolls of sticky tape on a roller with a plastic cover for keeping it all tidy when not in use. Better, quicker and safer than gaffer tape where the adhesive might be too strong and could damage the flock. You can even clean the dandruff off your suit when you've done the car!
