hey guys , iv got some fiesta rsT recaro's that i want to retrim in black leather with blue centers. dont spose you've got any pics of how yours came out when they were retrimmed do you? im debating doing it myself but iv started to carefully remove the original material without cutting it or destitching it so i can take it all apart an lay it out in one. im finding it difficult to unclip the plastic clips/wedges that hold it all in. plus do the headrests normally not come out but just move up and down and tilt? cheers guys. first time looking at doing something like this.

head rests will come out once you have taken the middles out and undone the cloth around the main bolster foam there are 2 R clips holding the posts in

they will come apart mate juist be careful ive stripped some many seats lately to make a mint pair out of 7 seats i now have 2 minters
