Jellybean Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Anybody have any experiance with FK Automotive in Germany, the seats look nice for a resonable price (500 euro for a pair), I presume these are the Halfords of Germany http://www.fk-automotive.de/$WS/fk-automotive/websale7_shop-fk-automotive/produkte/medien/bilder/gross/fkxlse023.jpg http://www.fk-automotive.de/websale7/Streetfighter.htm?shopid=fk-automotive&subshopid=English&act=category&cat_index=265-2834 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Are they leather? they look plastic in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Are they leather? they look plastic in the pic. it says leather but for that price I suspect PVC, but the Cloth seats would be a safe bet They look very similar to Sparco Milano's but at a 1/5 of the price, seems too good to be true. You really would need to see them in the flesh but they look nice in the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franko Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Well looks like they could be tied to Konig some how? The K has a crown which would make sense as Konig is the german word for King The Konig seats have a crown on top of the K also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality seats are more like £1k upwards each so only time would tell if these were a bargin or no.t I'd guess they have to meet some kind of safety approval so they must pass a certain strength test ??

Jellybean Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk Whats this simlar seats or the brand name seats All these seats are made in Asia, just the name on the tag that reflects the price. Tag heuer watches have citizen parts but a citizen watch is half the price Though I would like to see the quality before I bought and I would like a branded name seat plus a Tag heuer watch Damn it, the marketing propaganda has worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 What do you guys think would suit the Supra better Porsche GT3 Style or Bride Gias Low Max, regardless of price difference? http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/gfx/asiento-gt31M.jpg http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/gfx/Bride%20gias_grad1m.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franko Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Personally i think the Bride seats are the best seats but that my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Personally i think the Bride seats are the best seats but that my opinion SOLD: I do like the Bride logo and they are carbon too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Personally i think the Bride seats are the best seats but that my opinion +1. They are arguably the best looking aftermarket seats imo. Bride > Recaros > Sparco > Corbeau > Stock They are all decent seats mind, just my opinion. SOLD: I do like the Bride logo and they are carbon too Be wary you need to be relatively slim to get in brides though. Certainly not designed for fatties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) Try Ibrar if you like the Brides, he used to be a recomended supplier for their wheels so might get you a better deal ?? Sorry mate ignore that they were Braid wheels not bride lol I'd have to sit in one before i'd part with my money, nothing worse than a seat you dont fit in nicely Edited September 3, 2009 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to sit in one before i'd part with my money, nothing worse than a seat you dont fit in nicely Actually sat in a Bride Gias at floor level, would really like a drive sitting in one to really get the feel but as you know they are $$ and nobody has them. They are tight and I will do a better analysis when I have cash in hand but they are great looking The Bride Seats I am getting are 950 euro a pair New (cant justify 4K euro ), went to look at them in the flesh and I could not believe how flawless they where. You could not tell the difference between pic and build quality ,carbon weave was excellent. You can pic up the seat with one hand, some serious weight saving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Where are you getting them for that price? That's very cheap for a pair new. Place here in Ireland, the guy who owns it is Japanese so I guess he knows all the wheelers and dealers RedPower in duleek Meath Ireland, unfortunetly they dont have a website but other car forums have done group buys with him. He just goes around the car shows and distributes flyers I also found a company called BDK Carbon, i suspect is where he is getting them but he can get all Bride models and he had Recaro's DC5 integra TypeR too http://www.bdkcarbon.com/information.asp?ProId=421 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 That is a v.good price. Would prefer it without the writing on the seat but still a very fine seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Same here, am still looking for all black cushion set but cant find any available for the Gias seat only other models I am sure someone could retrim that area in black very cheaply. Ask Jurgen or Gibson trimmings on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 I am sure someone could retrim that area in black very cheaply. Ask Jurgen or Gibson trimmings on here. Was thinking of the retrimming route, I know you can purchase the Bride fabric but not too sure who in Ireland to trust, last thing I want is to mess up the seat cushion Abit wary of sending to the UK, afraid they would get lost in the post Where would u get them if they did Did I also mention u get universal rails too, but measured them up and the wholes are 1-2cm out but they dont have the seat belt bracket so you would need to get Bride ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hmm tough one. I am not sure,.. there must be some Irish club members on here to advise? Those Bride seats would raise the bar of that TRD supra you have very nicely I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
