hows it going think ive spotted you a few times you got a number plate something like S7000BY ? you got white wheels and an aftermarket kit on your car ? sorry fella ive been looking for these seats for ages and ive managed to buy some really clean seats infact there spotless look brand new still ...

try jap performance im sure they've got some sti8 seats for sale

 

i recovered my door cards to match my seats in my classic

now that does look nice those are the same seats as my ones cant wait to fit them look spot on !

 

how much did those doorcards cost to get re-trimmed do you still have there number ? if there not to far from me i'll just pop down

 

i done them my self and have recovered a a few scoobs to match now I'm an upholsterer by trade and recover seats in spare time too
I'm from wales just in case you wanted to know

 

how much would it cost to do my door cards in the matching blue ? my doorcards are smaller then yours i have a uk2000 turbo

 

most companies charge a small fortune to do this job but is quite easy to do yourself just buy some spray adesive and similar fabric and your away

im sure you will fined something and its not as hard as you think ,the fabric i use is 15 pound a meter but i get it from my mate who has his own company and you cant tell the difference between alantara and the fabric he gets

so if you can get fabric that matches perfect for 15 pounds and glue is anything from 3 to 4 pounds your looking at 20 pounds diy but make sure you do them all the same way up as fabric has pyle

hope this helps

here's another pic

Hi, do you remove the small panel in the card, or leave it on? Also, do you remove the old fabric first?
Im thimking of trying this too.

Thanks, Mit

 

heres my door cards in my classic, soon to get some sti7 seats when i have the money!

 

I'm liking the plastics re-trimmed. Is it cloth, or flocked?

 

its suede mate, did it myself, heres a few more pics...

 

yeh i live by the old dagenham ford, spent a lot on the scoob since i've had her 8 months ago. more to come still

i wish i had done a how to, heres a link from what helped me do the door cards. the rest was just patience and common snese really.
custom upholstery 101.. - RS25.com: Subaru Impreza GC8 & RS Forum & Community

 

Thanks for the link, very useful.

 

the cards in the link are the easy ones the older ones are alot harder because of the shape flat panels are straight forward

 

the old ones are a complete doddle when you have skillzzzz

 

Need to get round to doing mine sometime

 

/\ +1,
I had mine sitting around my buddies backyard and his dogs chewed them up! lol
