914 seats?

Post by Helen »

i had planned to buy some new seats for my car but having taken it to Holland and back we found the ones in it are infact suprisingly comftable.


now notsure what to do.

1) leave them as they are..cloth/half leather
2) have then re-stuffed and covered in leather
3) buy new slightly more sporty looking style.



if i decide on New, what options do i have?

I agree with Ian, Derek and Tom. All I did with mine was to get the cord facings recovered in matching material and the seat squabs re-stuffed. I left the vinyl as is.

Hhaha -reminds me of good old Chumley Warner -women know your limits.
...'whats that she's doing, she's getting into the wrong side of the car...' (of course in a 914 the wrong side would be the right side if you get my meaning) :lol:
