Title: Re: seats Post by: ESH on January 08, 2008, 22:44:16 pm A little pricey maybe but pretty good, the thing I like about them was that they have the headrest but still look 'right'. We got a pair and then got the rest of the interior trimmed to match.

If so can you post a picture. Thanks
Title: Re: seats Post by: ESH on January 09, 2008, 10:24:58 am Unfortunately that's not my Porsche, in a parallel universe it could well be but in this one I seem to have got stuck with VW's. Just as I think I might buy something else another Bug comes along! As it is it's a picture from the American distributors site (http://www.classiccarseats.com/) as they have more pictures of the seats than the UK guy. I have photos of the seats that I could put up this evening (UK / GMT time) but they're not in the car yet so they're not overly interesting. They're destined for a late model which came with the black basket weave but some parts of the car are still a fair few miles from other parts of the car as it stands. The black vinyl basket weave ones would blend quite well with an stock interior though we have had the rear seat and cards trimmed to match. In terms of the dimensions they seem to be pretty good and work well in the space and you can get them with a tilt mechanism. As a special order you can have them done in any colour / material and I think I'm going to get some red ones to go in my '63 as well.
