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

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

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...

Ok so a little update

Been too lazy to update my thread, but seeing as so many goodies have arrived

Sorry for the bad Iphone pics




So the seats are just about in

[vwthunder]

Got some Sparco rails

Cousins BF does fabrication on trucks and loves helping me out









Guys down there loved my car, all came out with their phones and took pics

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

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

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