I found these on EBay:

'Tamora' gel domed decal.

I have had my rear seat-backs re-painted black, and wondered if these would suit the car, or just look like a 'cheap 'n' tacky EBay add-on.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers smile

They are standard on a number of T cars plus I fitted something similar on mine - looked fine.
Cheers Alex, I think I'll order a couple.

Basing your decision on advice from Mr Modification wink could be dodgy
Heh. You should see my latest work, Kev biggrin
If you get it on the road I may well get to see it LOL smile
I have mentioned before, I am sure Alex has made a 1:1 exact scale model - for display only! hehe

Will you please stop putting ideas idea like this on here as every time I think that's it all done someone comes along with something else, I was not happy with the backs of my seats and thinking about changing the colour now this rolleyes so now it means changing the colour and putting one of those stickers on, so thank you very much another day taking bits off the car wink
hehe

Happy to help!

These forums are terrible for the wallet - showing stuff you never even thought existed and then having that kernel of thought grow until you can't resist, and end up thinking it's a must have, at all costs!

I have been bitten with the bug many times since buying my Tam - I am having the interior completely re-done, but I can't get that CF airbox out of my mind - and once I have that (it's inevitable...) - it'll be something else equally not really needed....

I thought I had done everything, getting Lee,s Ali Washer bottle at the weekend , I am going to have a Carbon Airbox next, then a very special number plate and thought that was it all done, it is becoming a running joke with my friends, I can,t do much more and as you know new interior , Powers 4.5 , monotubes and too much to put on here and now the back seats re-sprayed and one of those stickers, now its time to decide what colour though



Oh one thing is the dash read out and hopefully then that's it
And that's another thing, because of bloody you and your 4.5 thread, I keep thinking I need a 4.5 too, instead of the 4.3. Am so weak!

hehe

Scary when we add up everything we've had done, and still want....

If you had them in CF, you'd have to be 100% sure the curve is right, as there is quite a curve on those seat backs.

....anyone else think they look a bit...well...tacky?

Did you break anything sticking them on!

Only joking Chris - they look good! Your interior looks great too
hehe

Cheers! One thing I have learned over the past few months is the fact that these cars in particular will fight you all the way - so always expect the worst and expect that, what can go wrong will go wrong...

If and when I ever feel the need for a re-trim in the future, I will give Dave the Trimmer a try....

You don't need to take the backs off to put them on, I just had the roof down and moved the seats forward.
