No mate.They were in very good order initially,just very dirty and quite hard(particularly the passenger seat)as they had been in storage for many years.The main thing for me was that they were original,quality items and sold to me without being "dressed up" which can not be said of the vast majority that i had viewed previously!318isPMK wrote:Nicew have you got a before shot?
a good drowning in silicone spray is required to make them ***SUPER MINT*** **WOW*** though imo.
Not really much to tell with these tbh.They were an exceptional set of seats to start with.The time just went into cleaning and feeding,panel by panel.The only products i used were from Gliptone....gt11 and gt12.a detailed refurb description would be very helpful

perhaps you could just get some normal thin sponge and stick it on with some glue brushed carefully onto the back of the grille?
(looking good mate

Yes, off Pete about 18 months ago.Barry kindly put me onto these, after a long search.Simon13 wrote:did you get them off Pete, think i know the seats.
Anyhow they look amazing
Ive tried a few products but the Gliptone has given the best results imho.If your leather is in good order,gt11 and gt12 will do the trick.magpie wrote:gliptone gt 11 and 12 ordered,thanks for sharing
Have you the premium sound in the 325 then Eddie?Eddie25 wrote:Looks great Ash. This car just gets better and better.
I'm sure you know but the premium audio speakers definately need an amp. Mine are run directly by a 50wx4 JVC Headunit and the whole thing powers down above a certain volume.
Nice ones are hard to get,so i believe.si911t wrote:Seats are nice but your door cards are unbelievably fantastic!
Well so far I've just got the rear speakers in, have to say though I'm still not entirely comfortable with how much I had to cut out the parcel shelf to get them in there.csl wrote:Have you the premium sound in the 325 then Eddie?Eddie25 wrote:Looks great Ash. This car just gets better and better.

too many turds under my feet. They only came up for sale due to a change of circumstances at the time, iirc. I just fell lucky with it.They do get more conditioning than use thoughSimon13 wrote:i wanted them for my 2 door years ago but was told they weren't forsale at the time. They're in a worthy home and i get much harder for me red leathers these days
I would love a nice set of red leatherz ..your crimson ones will be superb in the black pina. 
Yes ive looked at the amount that has to come out of the shelf!Eddie25 wrote:Well so far I've just got the rear speakers in, have to say though I'm still not entirely comfortable with how much I had to cut out the parcel shelf to get them in there.csl wrote:Have you the premium sound in the 325 then Eddie?Eddie25 wrote:Looks great Ash.

I've also got the tweeters sitting on top of my wardrobe waiting for some spare time and money. I'm toying with saving up and asking Base systems to hide an amp somwhere then uprate the front speakers as well so it all fits and sounds right.
My battery and tool compartments are starting to go in the boot though so I have to fix this first, then I have the yank tank to worry about
