.................paint the back of my TVR seats the colour of the car, Porsche GT3 style? Been re trimming it for the last few months and now it's all back, and I have a bit of spare time, I'm tempted to paint the backs, what do you recon?

Very nice Andy. The re trim is looking superb. I wonder if someone can photoshop the backs of your seats to get a preview scratchchin

May I ask what colour you Cerb is?

Great effort on the car!!!

Having personal experience of how convoluted even the smallest jobs are on a cerbera
I take my hat off to you for attacking such a major project. I think it will look awesome when finished.

Seat backs? I say go for body coloured. It should lighten the interior slightly and is easy enough to change back to black if you don't like it.

Leather covered maybe, like on the earlier seats?

Cheers for the compliments, cracking on again with it tonight and it's looking so good in there, roof lining is my favourite bit, to be honest if you had all the bits ready you could do it over a couple of weekends with a week having it all trimmed in the middle, cost wise, including buying the new seats, it's not cost me more than a grand I recon, so worth it. (Hmmmm, maybe a bit more!lol)

Def gonna get the seat backs painted when I get the car redone, I'm v tempted to put an X diagonal for the cage in the rear too, painted the body colour or maybe trimmed in Alcantara? Only prob is I've got 2 little boys and if I render the rear seats useless only one of them can come out with Daddy at a time. It would look ace though.


More pics to follow.
