Look good.... just out of interest, how did you manage to get the shape of the front deat base right?? i'm an upholsterer by trade, and re-did my own seats, but i've never really been happy with the front squabs.....

hi mate thanks for the suggestion, to have your seats retrimmed in most places would cost from between £900 to £1000 or more, at the moment i am undecided on a price for mine...

Looking great there Lee.... one thing to consider is not to embroid anything to personal on there if your selling them, since they are classic seats you could do 555 or something similar.
