Rob Dublin Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I think they're the DIY retim seats as discussed in an earlier thread. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=123559&highlight=diy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I think it all looks good, well done. Dont think you will notice any slight discrepancies in the seats once they are in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I know of a few done like this. I like it. Gives it some more life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dublin Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 All black interior on an all black car might be too much. The white is a good contrast. I think the seats look pretty good actually. Half tempted to do likewise as not a hope I can afford a full retrim just at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Do what feels right for you if you don't like it and don't like it she'll get fed up of you winging!! Its good to be different though and you've put a lot of work into it, well done for doing it Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Like it. Don't put the poor woman through that lot again. Lot of good work there. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dublin Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Idea... live with it for a couple of weeks, if you still don't like it then, think about changing it. You have to live with the way your car looks for years, your missus will only be in a strop for a day or two...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILKYSMOOTH Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I think it looks okay overall, but you should have placed the crossovers behind the panel, did you paint the dash...if so what with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I like the dash, door cards are diffent too Seats are not looking too hot thou, about as tight as Maggie thatchers minge, is it that DIY plastic leather pretend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I like the speaker pods except i would have hidden the crossovers. did you make it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyer864 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Like it mate, as was said, it's a good contrast !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Unsure. The dash on these cars are awkward in that whatever you do they still look awful imo, even if left stock. There's only so much you can do with such an expansive dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 It looks superb in my opinion. Wish I had the skills to do things like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Look's good overall. But not sure on the fit of the front seat's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisky Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 i have a white supra and the thought had crossed my mind to paint the dash white..... I'm afraid having seen it on yours , I'm convinced to abandon the notion........ looks like you did a good paint job but it looks tacky to me in white - think i'll leave well enough alone sorry mate but you did ask anyway all that matters is you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
