Default JJC

Hi Buddy.JJC are a mail order only set up & dont have a showroom.I rang them last week as I live local & wanted to go & collect some oil,the guy I spoke to said they are actually based in Nantwich
He also said he wished he had a £ for each time he's been asked if they are anything to do with Demon Tweeks (which they are not)

theres loads in demon tweeks that you can sit in and choose. i was passing a couple of months ago, and spent a good hour trying out seats, much to the mrs's annoyance....

think the corbeau pro series were mi faves...

I went to Demon Tweeks a week or so back looking at seats. You defo need to go and try them. All the seats I had in mind, I hated. It's totally about trying them, I couldn't get my fat **** in half of them. I found the beauty's I want.

I thought Demon Tweeks were pretty good mate, big selection on display and if they haven't got the seat out, ask them and they will get it out. Cool shop to look around, just don't take a credit card - you may spend a little too much

They're the seats I'm going for mate. Felt tight but comfy. Felt top quality

DT - there's a lot of the smaller stuff behind a huge long customer counter, if you wanna see anything, just ask them to get it. You'll be like a little kid in a sweet shop mate

Hope to see some cool seats in your build thread maye

I have just pimped up a VW transporter van and fitted a pair of Recaro CS's , these are very good , much better than the fixed bucket seats as an everyday drive , just double the price !

Carbon is a little over budget. I think it's gonna cost about £1,100 for two kevlar with frames etc.
