Sport seats retrimmed ? Not without a bankloan !

Post by mr wilks » Mon Apr 22, 2013 5:03 pm

Got a little list of wants (not necessities i admit ) for my Zc & called into a place near work today for a chat about possibly changing the centres of my black sport seats to silver grey , Well i think he noticed my sudden stammer & i hadn't realised i even had asthma until the wheezing attack came on :oops:
Centres only without headrests he wanted £400 apiece :cry:
£800 ? i really like my all black sport seats now :P

It is tempting but i don't dislike the black enough to throw £800 at them . Rather put the funds away towards next car 8)

Yours do look a top job ranski & £700 for the lot doing seems a bargain in comparison .

My dads just had his transporter done on an exchange basis, including fitting and gaiters £600. He asked the guy how much for two z4 seats for me and he said about £600, but he can't do them on exchange as he only deals vw, so would be without seats for a while. Quality of work is absolutely spot on though. Here's my dads seats, non z4 related but pretty cool though..

If you come across any in a different colour as a replacement, I'd happily purchase your black ones!

I would like the Bently cross stitched centres in blue, with the Z4 emblem replacing the vw circles.. Can picture it now but will have to keep dreaming until I get some funds :-(
