Very nice!. Very Nice indeed!!

Seat guide pics are deadly..


Kinda regretting now that I didn't get extra material for the doors... I suppose I'd have to go shop around for something to match my seats...

Home Focus might be the place to go... they had all kind of wierd stuff I didn't need the last time I was there :-)

Also they might have suitable glue - and quite possibly even foam!

For the peeps near Dub - there's a home focus at the Blanch Shopping center - between Currys and PC world..

Good news,
Production is almost finished.
It should be all finalised by next tue-wed.
Then quality assurance will kick in, and every order will be checked individually to make sure the highest quality standards.
After that, FedEx Fast airmail to your address.

Ok Guys,
All good news.
Production has been finalised and the quality check has been almost finished.
The seat covers will starting to be posted by this Friday.
FedEx normally takes about 4 days.
I am not sure how quickly my contact will be able to post everything though, as there are many covers, and many paper work needs to be done.
I will shortly supply tracking ids to every one of you.
The value of the item will be shown minimal, this way we didn't pay any customs in Aus.
Regards

Although Max says the Leatherette will be posted on Friday, they have begun to arrive in the UK, and also here it seems.

Good luck fitting them!

Hi All,
Some of the covers - that quality check has finalised - has been sent few days ago.
I cant believe ElRazur already got the covers, it took only 2 days for Fedex to deliver.
Now, that's fast service.
There is no particular order when sending.
I will supply you a detailed explanation of how to put the covers on with photos, possibly this weekend.
Please see below details of FedEx tracking numbers.
I am doing everything I can to send the covers asap, without compromising from the quality.
I hope you enjoy them in all good days.
Regards
Max Ungun

DIY or not!!

Postby msmorrissey » Tue Jan 24, 2006 5:08 pm

Has anyone toyed with the idea of having the covers professional installed? for piece of mind and the pro touch? Was thinking of sussing out a few of the re-upholsters listed in the north dublin area for a price quote.
Anyone go down this road yet?

I did it based on CJ's write up here: http://www.fto-ireland.com/forum/phpBB2 ... light=wash

It's a bit of a pain but it just takes time. I haven't done the back ones though.

Max said he would post a guide soon as well.

I can't wait to get my covers :smt026 :smt026 :smt026

My mate Nigel got his covers today, they're very well put together. The 'red' section is more of a mottled maroon colour, that said, it doesn't look too bad. I was surprised that no zips came with the front seats, did the people who recieved their seats get a set zips by any chance?
