Are you thinking of carbon wrapping them? I've allways wanted to do this but I know i'd never be able to while the are in the car lol

 

[Richy200]

Thinking maybe wrap or even better dipped tried wrapping in.the car and.it failed

 

[Nick.]

haha thats why I havent even tried! lol If they are easy enough to get off id give it a go, ive just ordered some carbon wrap to do my battery cover and airbox lid etc, just for something to do lol

I'm gona get them wrapped at a show this year save hassle of taking seat apart as most wrap company's will do them while the seats are in

Did someone say carbon wrap?
Can be done here in Cheltenham if anyone wants it doing, and will do the interior trim too (dash plastic strips and centre console) for £250

 

[Richy200]

Yeah

how much for just the seat backs?

^ Im interested to know as well. Im not prepared to spend hundreds on something that doesnt affect me, and will never be noticed 99% of the time (i rarely carry passengers, let alone rear passengers) im just interested in hiding the scuff marks on the rear of the seats

As above but not in carbon fibre....

Ok, £195 for carbon wrapped backs. Any good?

What would you like instead? Alligator or leather effect?

 

[Nick.]

Alligator sounds good!

 

[Ashton]

can i have Koala Bear effect????

hahaha! :thumbup:

 

[inwardnoise]

Bloody hell I've been quoted £100 by a local wrapper for the seat backs

 

[Nick.]

Thats more like it! ^^^

 

[rocky]

Looks great on mobiles etc, so a Recaro back would be a very different look!

can i have Koala Bear effect????

I'll look into it

£100 can't be a very good carbon wrap as the material alone would cost as much as that. Depends if you want cheap not-going-to-last-long or something that stays and looks great.

I've also got difference colours of carbon, including a carbon yellow that could go well in a LY or kiwi green in an Alien. Photos coming soon.

When I attempted to wrap it myself the carbon was 3M so good stuff. and it cost me £65 for both seats.

3am have brought out a new vinyl now that has tiny holes that releases the air bubbles but is more expensive.

 

[Richy200]

That's the one I bought as they were having a rave about it on the website... I just found was a difficult job to do perfect sitting in the back of the car trying to do it

That's why you pay someone to do it. If they mess up a piece then it not your money in the bin
