Alright lads (and ladettes)

I got these seats for free today, they're cobra clubmans, and as you can see they aint in the best condition really, lots of hot rock holes, one is faded badly etc. Im wondering if its worth getting them re-trimmed and how much it'll cost. They've got universal subframes and i've tried bad a look at them and i'll need some 90 degree angles welded on i think to make them fit. Im thinking re-do the black in plain black cloth and rather than doing the red bit the same colour maybe change it to white cloth? Do you think its do-able or would it be cheaper to buy new oneS?





Opinions please!

Yes you fool, dont you dare look a gift horse in the mouth!
Stop moaning and get some quotes, subframes can be tailored (I know POR fabrication do them) and get them re-trimmed

We've already talked of getting them re-trimmed Black + White, there light and sexy

BRRRRR!

they look pink !!! good for pullin the ladies !

yep, black and white, and get POR to do you some 90 angle things

How much would the re-trim cost.

Those seats cost 95 pound each from a website which i forget.100 pound everywhere else.And you could get em in black and grey,or pay a little more and get recliners.The re-trim will prolly cost more than 100 per seat,but u'll get white.You cant buy them white

The comfiest cheap bucket you'll find! Honestly, I've sat in loadsa different kinds of seats and even though these are the cheapest they also hold you really well and they're sooooooo comfy. Imo they're the best non-recliner you can get.

If you get in touch with cobra directly they'll tailor make any of their seats to your requirements (at extra cost of course), they'll give you a choice of material, i think cloth, vinyl, alacantara and leather, and you can have pretty much any colour you want!

don t bother, chuck them in the bin, there shit, your standard seats are far nicer, those ones are crap, give them to aggy or some thing

Adam, if u want white and black seats, i think u shud re-trim ur ones, i recon they r better, u dont ahave to mess about with sub frames, they recline, and they are comfy, if they were done white and black, they would look much better than the cobras in white and black, thats my opinion mate.

yeap, i agree with darren there, it would look so uch nicer if you got your standerd seats retrimmed

black and white leather... mmm

cheeky bugger..i got leather recaros!!!

Buckets hold you in your seat better than my standard recliners though, and i dont fancy getting harnesses again anytime soon because they were a bit inpractical

No leather! to sweaty lol Just fancy some basic black and white cloth. I've had leather before and it wasn't nice on hot days, i've had alcantra an that didnt like it when you wear jeans, it wears a bit to fast

Get the white & black cloth, it will look sweet. And wont costed that much.

Had a quote of 250 quid for the pair (thats without the guy looking at them) thats in basic cloth. Think i'll give it a miss, got to much other stuff i need!

adam they are so s...t why did you even bother un bolting them out of the car lol. Retriming will cost more than £80 which is what you can buy them for new. THROW THEM AWAY

I agree with Rhys, sell them to a nova owner!! Im sure they will think hot rock interior is the new thing

Think you two need to read the post a bit better, i've already made my mind up, come on wake up will you's :rolleyes:

In that case can I have them back mate? Dont worry its not to sell them on

just give them aaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggyyyyyyyyyy

As Andy said, if ya dont want them give them away to someone else who may benift from them - ok they aint ideal for a road car due to the condition, but maybe someone like Tupac would appreciate them for his track XR4i where purpose is more important than appearance

Failing that, you could always get some plain black material, and use a staple gun to roughly recover them yourself?

Wonder how easy/hard that'd be?

they aint worth anything, give it a go adam

I've only ever trimmed installs and door cards so my knowledge on it is limited, but i s'pose theres no harm in trying? I'll never learn if i dont give it a go myself!

thats the spirt.


LOL your sig says "your mum is mine".

lol!!

Im gonna look on the net to see if theres any guides or tutorials on re-trimming seats
