Tamora Seats

[robgraham17]

Anyone ever changed the colour of the seat backs, seems like a fairly easy job as they are only held on by 4 bolts, mine are scratched and lost their shine, so thought while they out of the car seems like a good time to respray these.

Any ideas or advice on colours etc

car is arancio orange, new carpets a very dark blue seats orange leather and blue dash.

Should I do these gloss black? Satin black? or what...

If anyone else has done this would be good to see options

Maybe have them painted in the body colour?

Yep... go see an optician

If you can take the seat back off, then I would maybe have a go at laying it up in Carbon? I'm not a big fan of loads of carbon everywhere, but a good quality dark carbon would suit the orange leather.

If you're after a quick fix then maybe a dark satin grey instead of black paint?

Yes i am actually colourblind.....the dash is going to be changed very soon, just need to wait until funds permit this, I do quite like the idea of a dark card wrap on them

Chameleon blue (or orange in your case) to match the body with a contrast silver bead. bd of a job as you can't take the seat backs off so you need to mask up well. Also make sure every bit of silicone is removed otherwise it blisters through. Took me two attempts to get it looking good.

That looks really good, like the Tamora sticker badges, where did you get those from? What do the 4 bolts hold on if the back don't come off?

Badges from Racing Green, silly price from what I remember (£20/each). the 4 bolts do hold the seat back to the frame but to remove the seat back you need to peel the seat material off as it wraps round the seat back holding it in place. Ally bolts look good too, I think Lee does the kits have a look on flee bay

I think the 1st port of call would be to forget the upgrade on the car and get yourself a carpet for the living room!!

I have 2 spare badges that are a little different for the back of the car seats see below, you can have them for a £10

We had D+C Trim fit yellow leather to the back of our seats - it looks really great.

the look like the factory seats fitted to some cars in 2005. My old 2005 T350C had them, the missus always used to complain about stotting her head off the seats Ears, something that doesnt happen with the wider eared seats in my current 2003 T350C

They are the early sagaris seats, a few cars other than the sag left the factory with these. I think mine was the only Tamora to have them due to it being a show car

Haha need to finish the painting of the skirting boards and windows frames before the carpet goes in, carpets are going in the car on wednesday so gives me a few days to get the seats up together.
