my DIY seat Retrim
ive posted this on fiestaturbo.com but id like to show you guys aswell!!
i got annoyed with the prices of retrims so i looked into doing this myself, there was no info anywhere, so i was doing this with no idea of what i was doing but after a few trys i got the hang of it and came out with this!!!
im not to sure on the white as yet it was just an idea, im thinking of doing the bit that you sit on and the back bit in a different material something thats abit more grippy, well thanks for looking anyway!!

D.I.Y retrim
looks good mate not as hard as people think is it. much better than
paying someone £500.00 plus. heres my d.i.y retrim it took about
a month just doin a few hours after work a couple of nights a week.
cost £200.00 all in (all the leather, foam padding and thread)

Alright again.
Just a quick question if ya dont mind because ive got some recaros i wana wash the fabrics on - how did you reattach the cloth to the centre sections of foam because they have some sketchy looking stables in them
Cheers

where can you buy the material from please and where would you be able to get some piping from aswell,also how would you go about putting the piping on aswell,would you just have to take a bit more time getting it in the right place before you sew it together,looks good by the way 
to you. I'll be attempting something very similar soon hopefully, but what fake leather did you use dawsRS?
