projectrs2k Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 looks a good project not keen on the back lights though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookerz Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 they are getting attacked with thinners. quite like standard light on hatbacks but cabby might suit something a bit different,spotted a few sets that are m3 style red and clear at bottom on ebay.de, not seen any esoort over here with them so might go something like that and hope it looks smart. little project that shouldnt owe me millions when its done. im unsure on the glitter in the lacquer, would much prefer it without that but it lights up in the sun nice.

shawdreamer Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Lovely colour! I hate cabby seats though, they look rather 80s There not cabby seats, cabbies are the wingbacks with smaller bolsters....there the proper full shoulder hugging wingbacks I make a point of fitting in every escort I ever own (by far the best OEM option barring aftermarket seats for comfort & stability in a escort....and yes I include recarros in that statement) there infact the exact same pattern I currently adapted for using in my mk5b....except Im half leathering mine.http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23080.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Just the trim that looks shite then, Si wingbacks in flow raven are really nice. But those look very 80s, and those half leather ones look like they were made by Richard Hammond (Remember when he turned JCs leather jacket into seat trim) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookerz Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 seats are gonna have to do for now... probably spend some money on it after next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
