Looking fine on them wheels, can you just roll the rear or does it need pulling out aswell?

baggedestate

i reckon just a light arch rolling will work but its just a waiting game now to remove the studs and waiting on the struts. gunna start sorting the air lines etc next weekend

baggedestate

well my original plans for today didnt go ahead so instead i started on my roof lining




just have a few bits to cut then neaten up and finish the pillers :)

My new front seats have arrived :) i just need to buy a leather rear estate bench( if anyone is selling one :D) and get it trimmed to match



also my new bilstein b8 rear shocks have arrived ordered them sunday night and arrived today. awesome service :) just need new disks and pads to arrive now

You might be better off grabbing the first working estate rear seat regardless of material as cloth will be far more readily available  :y Also, if you want heated rears, then it needs to be Elite, and cloth heaters are more durable... Besides if they're being recovered the original material is largely irrelevant ;)

baggedestate

Yeah true. Was thinking of getting a black leather one if possible then I can stick it in and it will still look half decent if that makes sense until I can get it retrimming but I'll see what I can find :)

Fair enough :y Worth noting also that any Omega B estate seat will fit, as although later seats have a couple of extra safety bits and bobs, none of it is Mot relevant and certainly there are no airbag/pretensioner issues... ;)

Loving those seats mate!! 8)
