Bought these from jas9n as a christmas present to myself, there so much better than standard seats. I want to get them retrimmed in black cloth but its proving difficult or extremely expensive.

Pressed number plates:

I have also taken of both bumpers and heat them up with a heat gun to return them back to black:

Next I deleted the side strips:

I used a heat gun to first remove the plastic and used a toffee / fudge wheel to get rid of all the sticky stuff, then gave Propecia a nice polish.

Coming along very nicely, let me know if you decide to sell the wellers ...

...High?

  • Author

Its not high, I scrape speed bumps :/ lol

  • Author

yeah haha, not sure thinking plastic arches of ebay? Wide arches, or just heat the arch up and hammer em

  • Author

haha, no I wouldn't drill into the arches I was looking into bonding them on and then space out the rears to match, but yeah G60 arches that is another option. Cheers for the heads up :)

Does anyone know if THESE fit mk2f arches?

Needs to be done!

Enjoying this.

Mega poke on the front tend though!

Lol at the pic with wellers and standard height :lol: Looking good, i like indian red alot. Need to bring the front down IMO though :-)

Those white wellers and indian red have SO much potential

Sold the wellers because of the poke and made a bit of profit on them :( I do miss them though.

Also bought some newer G60 seats with darker material, there very comfy:

Looks nice mate shame about the wellers though, I must say I prefere a black badged grill to a badgeless one but that's just my opinion - love the colour
