Seat covers etc

[maggi200]

Easy to change? I'm seriously considering a facelift set of covers depending on Renault otherwise I'll spend money elsewhere but want an idea of how hard to change first

I've got a snap on seat cover on my drivers seat

 

[maggi200]

No daz I mean like the actual seat material
Doors are ease. Rear seats not possible cos I have a cup but fronts for now. Thinking its easy to get it all done together

You could get the professionally made, I had a look and they were about 300 ish for front & back

Covers like halfords? I'm talking just retrim but if Renault do them I like the facelift see...

 

[Autotech01]

Renault seat covers are fairly straight forward after removal of seat. You will have to use hog rings to put back on which may or may not come with the 2 separate covers for each front seat. To get old hog rings off use sidecutters but to put on need hog ring tool.
Main thing about cover changes is just a bit fiddly.

I was thinking about an alcantara/ leather split retrim.. Although i plan on haveing the car a fair few more years im not sure its gonna be worth a few hundred quid :/ want some decent looking black covers to keep them in good condition but if the material from other seats are available let me know!

 

[maggi200]

Well Ive got someone on to it and I'll have prices this week so I can make a decision on what I'm doing.

As for tools im fairly certain I can track down everythig I need easily

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Nice, let us know!

 

[maggi200]

Will do

All I need is to find some rear seats, and work out how they fit to replace the bench.

A custom retrim would be pretty cool. Rather than facelift, could have something custom and unique.

Full leather with white piping and RS badges!

Well mr venn and I had a chat on the phone this week.

£285 for a back and £170 for a base for each front seat.

Basically... Rip off!!

I knew it would be ££ but that's a joke.

So it would be some trendlines (if I can find a trophy set going cheap) and a retrim to match. I'm not after modding this car much just want oem+

Ohwel, money this month will be cup spoiler and roof wrap

 

[Daveyb133]

im sure steve at edge can do something?

 

[maggi200]

Yeah I will probably use him when It comes to it. I just liked the fact I would be able to do these myself!

Tints, roof and spoiler to come and then I'll go onto the interior
