Hey Jetdat... I understand that you might be very busy etc... but as the head of this group buy it would be nice if you could atleast acknowledge one of my posts or one of my private messages.... I have paid for mine and was told that they are sitting in the shop ready to post... So can you please either give me the phone number of the place so i can ring for myself or could you please find out what the hold up is... If you have any problems or are unsure of my postal address please contact me and let me know. I notice that you always reply to anyone who posts pics or comments regarding having received theirs and to those that are fitting theirs... but what about us guys who have paid and are still waiting...... Cheers

Sorry to be a bug, but its just alot of money out of pocket to have no idea what is going on with it.

Hey

went and got my covers today and they seem to look good ... havent had a chance to have a good look at them just quite yet ...

Anyways was wondering what type (brands etc) of adhesive people were using for the doors and on the seat ... is any type of contact adhesive from like autobarn ok ?

Oh also started taking off the old covers but then half way i didnt know whether that was such a good idea ...

just wondering mrgilly and drmafia or anyone else did you just install over the orginal or did you remove them first

Thanks

[DECIM8]

they just go over them .. prob easiest mate..

anyone stuck on the side pannels yet.. what adhesive did you use?

[thesaint]

^^ yeah i went to autobarn today and picked up soome K and H contact adhesive ... I havent had a chance to use it though but will let you know how it goes when i get around to it

I decided in the end not to take off original covers to be on the safe side just in case something happened down the road or i decided on doing something else with my interior ... also if I find that they begin to slip (which they shouldnt) ill pull the covers off (old and new) then reinstall the whole thing whilst also using glue, its just i didnt do it initially as i thought it wasnt necessary as there are white strings in all the right places to make it hold well

which brings me to ... pull the white strings through!!! ... it makes an outstanding difference to the final outcome.. follow the contours of the seat and line them up well (might take a couple of attempts and give you sore fingers from pushing the needle through so many times) but it is well worth it

[skybarge]

also are there anyone else who has not received their covers????

please post in here or email/pm me..

i just asked the lady at wasalvage to give me an adhersive that for this kinda application it was the only one in the paint section not sure the name n iv finished the 2 i bought... only advice is be generous n give it a lil time to dry n pull it well .. try makein the holes at the right places or u get some pull marks too.

about the covers, i started stripping the original n noticed that it takes a little bit of the foam outa the seat which makes it not look too cool anymore when u cover it so stoped that at a very very early stage b4 anythin f**ks up.. i did a lil bit of an over kill tho spent lots of time n stripped every seat to bits even the fronts.. that actuly cut me up a fair bit good luck with it.. GRRR but end results are nice n no one so far has said anythin about them beein a cover even when i tell them they are like no !!! haha

ya pulled the middle console too its tight n nice now mint condition stuff n feels nice just hope since i picked all black i dont sweat alot in summer but so far happy

[DECIM8]

Im a little pissed with these covers.. So far ive done the back seats..

The right hand side of the back bottom cover was nothing to be excited about.. two of the white strings came out when I was pulling the needle onto the string .. ! no hard force! Then the whole stitching on the back (thank god it was back) with the black strings attached to it .. ripped away from the leatherette. Under force yes.. but not more than the rest of the seat!

what can be done about this? I can live with it but im assuming if a few people sit on it a few times its going to go bye byes!

Doing the fronts and rest today .. well see how they fair

Also on the point .. how do you remove the interior facia on the pannels I removed the whole pannel from the wall but seems you need just to lift away the pannel .. can it just be popped off? wtf am i going to slide behind it but not cut it to lift it away?

oh weird, mine seem to be ok, the string seems to be very strong, i will be using Selleys Kwik grip water based adhesive though

meant to be the best for installing vinyl covers

I'll do my fronts this weekend and my rears, when i buy my new rear seats

did anyone elses come with the Ultimate label sticked onto the outside of the seat?

It's not too bad, although i might rip mine off, because it's white and sticks out like a sore thumb

[skybarge]

for the fascia, do you mean the door card and the card for the rear panel?

that are glued on fabric?

I'll be recovering both of mine and sticking the new ones over the top

but for the old ones, i think you use rubbing alcohol or something similar to remove the glue?

let it soak for a bit and it should just peel off, mine came off easier because it had melted in the sun
