Alternative Seats

[Griffinr]

My seats are getting rather tired and I am thinking of replacing them as they are generally tatty not just the covering. What are the best options for alternatives, preferably something readily available.

What sort of thing are you after? I've got a pair of Griff 500 seats that came with my car. I've not taken them out of their plastic packaging since I took delivery, but I think they're in good condition. I think they're cream colour. Any good to you?

Thanks for the offer, my interior is biege so am hoping to get something the right colour. Just trying to get an idea of what fits best at present as the old ones are still servicable but a bit tatty. Will have a good look round at S club for some ideas.

Your seats if the leather is intact (no rips) would probably re-dye quite easily.
I'm kicking my heels looking for work at the moment so I'll do them for a bit of beer money if you want.

I just fitted chim seats to my V8S - I bought them in grey but they are now doeskin in colour.

Look at this and the furniture clinic website.

I have fitted XJS seats in my S2. They have to be the Sports Pack seats as the standard ones are to wide. I got them from e-bay and changed the colour from grey to biscuit. There are a number of threads on fitting these seats The kit for the colour change was purchased from the Furniture Clinic.

Did you get those in the right colour Steve or did you recolour them?

I have a pair of good condition beige / oatmeal seats sat in my spare bedroom

The original classified ad expired in the week, but have just re-listed it with a reduced price. See here http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2704112.htm

They are both the same colour, just the photos look like they are not.

PM me if you want to.
