Vwthunders build thread (finally)

Hmm they are 5K seats, don't really want to stick a huge monogram on the headrest part

Less is more as they say

[Polo GTEye N9]

Hmm don't know how they would do that, it is stitched into the material, you mean just stick a monogram over the top ?

Well yes, professionaly overlay the Renault momogram so it covers it and you have whatever you want!

Seats look good in the car (minus the renault bit), the laser cut out is awesome. although, is it only 1 dimensional? No ribs/supports?

It 5mm mild steel it is as strong as buggery, i was thinking 5mm is not that thick, untill you see it, might be a overkill, not light either

Part of it sits flush on the car body floor/bracing

So why not just have them cover the Renault over with what monogram you prefer?

I have spent the last few weeks going around to trimmers to see who can stitch in a new panel where the Renault lettering is. Most want around $400 for the two seats and most cant match to the exact color.

So still kind of scratching my head as 1. dont want to get ripped off, 2. dont want someone to cheap and 3. want someone who i can trust.
Hopefully i find someone soon

Awesome Troy

Hoyhoy.

Seats look the goods Troy.
Plus isn't it good to hear from Anthony again.
Ant. why is it that things in the Polo 9N3 section when quiet when you went quiet...

[vwthunder]

Awesome.
Now you just need to get the head area retrimmed so it doen't say Renault haha.

Might get the whole seats done, seeing as the more i think about it the less it will match. I want to to look OEM, guess like a Golf R Recaro.
I have always wanted a cherry red interior . I wonder how much to do door trims, gear boot etc

Ok, so the Polo section seems to be pretty slow these days, few people selling, not much going on

Thought i would liven it up a little


These finally arrived on a pallet from the UK

Thanks to James Gallimore and Robert Gallimore for all the help

Yes I could have got them here but with airbags is over 5K
