Got mine yesterday, put the back seats on last night and I must say they look awsome.

I'll do the front seats tomorrow and will get some pics then. Plan to do the doorcards etc next weekend.

I have to say I'm very impressed with the qulality and finish.
Cheers
JD

Here are a few pics of work so far - I have to say the pictures don't do them justice - they are neither 'cream' nor 'yellow', :smt102 they are a nice shade of beige, which goes well against the navy (IMO). Anyway roll on next weekend for the doorcrds!!!

One word of ADVICE - the covers for the two front seats ARE DIFFERENT, I.E. there is a LEFT and a RIGHT so check them against the originals when you take them off.

All I can say is - those little copper b'stards !!! :evil:

Hey - can someone confirm for me, are you supposed to put coat hangers through the pocket on the extremity of all of the seats to reinforce before you put in the cable ties ?

If so, then you need about 16 coat hangers. It is taking me 8 hangers for the back seats alone. Do I need to do this ?

lol...my fingers are in bits... :smt087 , but a quick twist with a snips and they undo. I used hangers in all the little pockets, otherwise I'd say the cable ties will pull through and/or you wont get an even spread of pressure, it might pucker the material.

Hi All,
Latest update;
- Remaning covers has been sent last Friday. however, I havent received the FedEx Ids yet. Tomorrow, I should be able to publish them.
- We have tried to send zip sliders individually, however, there was a problem with postage. Apparently there is a regulation that you cant send single metal bits in postage. So, I have asked my contractor to send all the sliders included in my package to Aus. Once I receive them, I will try to send them individually from Aus. I dont think they are fussy about sending metal parts here.
- Photos are looking great. Please keep displaying them. I will keep a copy of them as a reference for future group buys. Let me know please if you have any concerns about this. Your identity will be kept private, and any reference - such as reg number, etc... - will be deleted from photos.
Regards
Max Ungun
