They are magnificent..

Wish they were mine, look after them.

I'd almsot like more cream to green if that makes sense.
They look amazing regardless. Duotone interior is so much more interesting than the single colour stuff imho.

[ben_minor_63]

Yes, there leather as well. duotone is nicest interior i think

[Alex'n'Ane]

Any chance of a pic of the bases ben?

Surprisingly simple, but if they work well and mean only 2 more holes

[ben_minor_63]

yes were having to make a plate at the back for the bolts to fit

[Alex'n'Ane]

a plate for where? :s

[ben_minor_63]

the frame isn't level so were making it level. i will take plenty of pictures for you

Hey Ben,

Lovely looking seat there. And in leather too, or should it be described as faux vinyl?

I treated myself to a pair of front seats for my traveller earlier this year from Newtons. Very comfortable too. A couple of points I would be so bold to make would be to leave the seat frame at the slightly off level. It puts a little more angle on the seat squab, which in my opinion, is better. And if you're anything like 6 feet tall, you may find that a slightly higher rear on the squab will hamper your visibility forwards. I don't need to use my sun visors, ever!
And you may want to find some covers for them. I'm forever cleaning off marks, half of which probably don't even exist. Mine are plain porcelain green.

Anyhow, Enjoy. The interior will look superb when done. Post plenty of piccies.

Cheers,

Phil.

Yes Phil its genuine leather not a faux viynl, and seat covers for the front seats and rear seats are on the Christmas list as with the price of them, i persionally can't afford to replace them. and yes i will take a lot of pictures for you all.

Look fab, so much so I'm musing on painting my car the same duotone colours....

[ben_minor_63]

Do you mean that you are doing duotone interior or duotone paint?

[stag36587]

Do you mean that you are doing duotone interior or duotone paint?

I might do both - body paint a combination of original almond green and perhaps sage green, seats to match. Mind you my eight year old has a different view - lefthand side of the car red, righthand side blue. Or if I could go for cut and shut panda look - front white, rear black

[ben_minor_63]

oh lol, if i was you i would go almond green like myn, and interior dutone ( only if the body number has D stamped on) go for newton commercial's suffolk reclyning seats maybe more expensive but worth it for comfort etc

[Fingolfin]

I wonder how hard it would be to re-cover an existing set of seats in Duotone? Probably a lot of work. And I know nothing about upholstery. But it's a thought...

[ben_minor_63]

its easier to pay newton commercials to do them, the ones we have are fab, best ones i have seen

[Alex'n'Ane]

Its easier to pay someone to restore you car for you, however........
