Default Just changed the foam in my seat

As i think the old one was a bit fucked





Only thing is where i left it so long before i done it ive now got crease makes in the upholstery hopefully they will come out after a while.
Well worth doing tho and it's a fairly easy job and the foam is only £24

The upholstery is all held on by plastic clips(the bottom part of the seat is) you will see as soon as you take the runners off the seat

I think mine got a new bolster made for it but not one of the proper recaro ones, feels fine though, would be nice to replace the foam in the bottom part too...probably only do it if I was cladding them in leather tho
