Just won these after looking for some time. Going to get them recovered in leather and have the VXR emblem embossed on the backrest. Got them as they are a thiner version of the older HSV seats which I think look lovely! 
As such anyone know of a good upholsterer in the South I can send them off to? (BTW I will now be selling my immaculate stock front seats now if anyones interested...)

I'm interested in your VXR seats if there are that good.
Did you find those on Ebay ? Lucky man.
Yep - Ebay find. Been looking for ages but was not going to pay £600plus for seats that were worn and which I would re-cover anyhow! As for mine, they are perfect in every way, car only done 20k well carred for miles and I always use the Liquid leather cleaner and nourishing cremes etc. Cars still with Mark at Rapid (Performance LS...?) so the seats wont be available to come out till I get it home here around the end of next month after my holiday. Give me a PM if you are interested. BTW Im in Andover Hants.Did you find those on Ebay ? Lucky man.

Roger you could give southbound trimmers a call, they do a lot of retrimming of porsche seats - they are very good but not especially cheap.

Cheers Andy... Hopefully IL be sitting comfortably as I drive past that nasty German thing you have at the next Thunder Road... Andy
Kevin Baggs, in Poole. http://www.kbaggstrimming.co.uk/ He did a smashing job on a Porsche steering wheel for me. Probably not the cheapest, but you can't fault the workmanship.

Mate, get real, they look far too lightweight and won't last five minutes with your stout frame, whereas they would be great for a skinny runt like me.;)As such anyone know of a good upholsterer in the South I can send them off to?

(What are they out of anyway?)
There E36 M3 Vader seats, manual operation and at a guess far bloody lighter than stock VXR ones but with higher bolsters for better lateral support. IL also be able to mount them slightly lower than stock which will suit me since I think the stock ones are set to high for me even on the lowest setting. Main reason for choosing these is I want a stock looking setup and race seats look to aftermarket and are to spartin for my liking, with these once they are fully re-trimed and rebuilt will hopefully look fairly stock for those who dont know the cars well, especially when I have the VXR insignia embossed into the backrest.
BTW I got the whole interior so have the rest - doorcards, rear sets etc for sale now.... prob the wrong forum to get a sale though!
