Won some sports seats

Post Sat Sep 30, 2006 3:13 pm

At last after hunting up and down for ages I have just won some sports seats for my tourer on Ebay. They look pretty good and I dont care if I might have paid over the odds for them.

Just got to pick them up and pay for them.

Woo Hoo

i was gonna have a bid on those.. gladf to see i disnt bid against a zoner in the end. reckon they were in great condition

Thats what I thought. There is a slight mark on the drivers seat bolster and the rear seat base. The mark (in a better picture) doesnt look to bad and I can use my existing mint rear seat base.

My max bid was Ãƒ”šÃ‚£250 but got them for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£210.

Cotty you are so lucky i noticed it was you bidding as i would have had them if not mate

Just sold my grey ones and now on the hunt for some the same as your new ones or better still some black leather

They look spot on and i also thought that the base bolsters looked a little thinner and taller in the first pic but then they look normal in the other pics, maybe its just the camera angal.

anyway

I dont think it was luck, more like fate. I have been looking for these for about a year and a half, hell I even came to look at yours. I wanted them so bad I would have gone to Ãƒ”šÃ‚£300

Leather? sorry not for me, I like cloth. You dont slide around with cloth.

Post Sat Sep 30, 2006 8:32 pm

That didnt come out right

good luck with your hunt.

Thats because your a 'bufty' and would get the 'Mr Sheen' on them

Leather sports seats without the polish are plenty supportive

I dont doubt they are supportive but I tend to sweat when I sit in leather for a while

Nice one mate - I was keeping an eye on those too... reason to follow later.

Will make a nice addition to the tourer mate

Nice seats Cotty - having driven home from MK to Norwich in the new sports seats I got from Spadge I can confirm that they will be worth every penny!

Well just got back from picking them up. That was fun.....NOT. 2 1/2 hours to get there, accident on the M25, congestion at Dartford tunnels and on M11. 1 1/2 hours back.

Anyway the seats. They are in top condition. The mark on the drivers seat bolster is a wear mark about the size of a 50p. He talked me through each seat pointing out marks which to be honest you wouldnt bother worrying about if you were selling them.

He had even shampood them.

Seems like I top guy to deal with and I would recomend him Here is his Ebay link http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI ... dback:1:uk

This guy appears to be top notch and when he says something is mint it is look at the condition of these touring speaker pods

This is really bugging me, its been raining every night I have been home this week. The guy had shampood the seats and I thought they were still a little damp so wanted to moven them into the house to dry out completely but dont want to get them wet moving them so they are still in the car.

Oh well lets hope its not raining on saturday and I can fit them in the dry.
