seats
should i get recoved or should i get some new kinda bucket seats if i can find any to fit
what you guys think??

[mrsflipflopgriff]

If you get some cleaner and keep treating them they should come up good. Not sure how bad they are though. Colour match with existing leather will be a problem too. Do a search on liquid leather for cleaner and treatment. THis is the stuff you want. We treat ours every couple of months.

I bought Cerbera seats from a scrappy and had them retrimmed. Is not cheap!!

I have just taken delivery of pair Tuscan seats that I have had retrimmed and hope to get fitted weekend. Will advise on results

[jonka]

do the tuscan seats fit on to the chims rails or do they need replacing aswell?

[tvron]

Fitted seats on Tuscan Runners as supplied.Holes do not line up so need redrilling and in my case I had to take runners apart as bolts in seats us. At this moment seats slightly higher than old seats and I need to take out again and remove any excess packing prob only 1/2" but worth it. They definately hold me in better on corners and feel more supportive but my advice would be get seats secondhand fit and adjust till you are happy and then have retrimmed as it was difficult to work on seats being all new leather and in danger of damaging

Ron,

Any Pictures of the seats in?

I am considering some Tuscan or after market seats, where and how much did your seats set you guys back?

will try and take pics at weekend. I still need to lower seats a bit as I feel a bit high in car but sure this possible with some thought. They look good and suit car

[mbu10]

well just got a quote
taking them down to match but said about 100-125 quid per seat to recover in same colour leather for my seats

[gce123]

MBU - who did you get your quote from please? For that price I'm tempted to get mine done as well. I only have half leather interior so the seats are vinyl and quite badly 'cracked' - can't see how any cleaner would get these cracks out.

TVRon,

thanks i would appreciate seeing them in the car please mate.

Sorry no pics yet but have not had time - to busy trying to get seats right!
Problem is that to get them low enough you lose travel rearwards as seat hits floor and in turn you then cannot put forward either. Wife not happy as she is too far forward and thinks seats too hard and not as comfy as old ones. I will take out again and try to solve the carious problems and then take pics but really wish now I had looked for some after market seats with lower bases . If any one knows of any I would be interested

[poorpeet]

Rather than mess about with the seats why don't you just change the wife for a shorter one with a larger arse?
I have one in mind................

[mbu10]

got mine done at coverall in stockton
cost 250 inc vat for both
they did a nice job
or you can get done in vynal for less if you want

[tacoma]

So does anyone have any pictures of Tuscan seats in their Chimaera? Or any more advice on where to get them etc?

Kinda quiet here
