Hi all

Anyone know of a site where you can buy original Ford seat fabric for retrimming etc. I'm considering having the centre sections of my Cobra Imolas retrimmed in something 'Ford' - ideally the 'Monaco' Bluestone that my 1989 XR2's seats had as standard, although anything period to Fords of the late 80's would be a second choice.

It's only an idea at the moment, but I've had the usual trawl around google and come up with nowt lol! So I figured if anyone would know, it would be you lot

Actually just whilst I'm here, this is my first post in this section having only joined the site this month (bit strange being a 'little fish' in a big pond on here lol!, when I'm one of the top posters on my 'other' forum - Detailing World) but anyway, I have to say I'm absolutely blown away by the talents and skills of members on here, particularly evident in the restoration threads where the work is mindblowing!! - I take my hat off to you all

Anyway, the fabric suppliers anyone?

Cheers

Some sierras had that same monaco trim.
Only being sierras theres was more of it, the seats being bigger to start with.

Can't you chop up some XR2 seats? Common as you like and usually given away when folk upgrade to recaros.

 

Cheers, mate Yes I suppose that is another option. I wasn't aware of Sierras having the same pattern, although now you've mentioned it I'll have a look through my 'CARS' Ford brochure from 1989 and see what else I fancy from other models.

Thanks bud!

 

my mates a seat specialist and has on the shelf the shark grey stuff in s1 turbos and 2.8i capris,also the square stuff from a 90 spec escort. he knows quite a few trim specialists who have the ford stuff on rolls direct from ford, my mate even does ford dealers own repairs as they don't have anyone to do trim anymore.

if you want his number let me know, i also have the number of the geezer who was selling ford trim at ford fair on me cell phone

 

Cheers for that, mate - PM sent.

 

Hi

I have a MK1 turbo that I have owned for 31 years and would like to re trim the seats.

Could I have the contact details for the shark grey seat fabric?
please

Thanks

Nice first post... good bump from 9 years ago...

 

Damn it!! I nearly jumped on that!

 

the use of the word 'cell phone' was a giveaway

 

Bumping this for anyone who can help. I am looking for a supplier for the fabric (or as closed to as I can get) for the Mk1 XR2. I believe it's called "storm", but I could be wrong, with Shark Grey (code KW) on the sides and rear
