FTO AUSTRALIA

onnzo,
I thought about using a masking tape I already had, however, didnt use it, due to the reason that had to pack up quickly and drive off.
But taping is a good idea.

Also, I havent had any fogging issues yet, however, I have this beautiful leather kinda smell in my car, almost smells like a new car. Excellent

Hey Max, since your work place is so close to me, you got to drop by my shop again, so i can check it out

we do it next week,
will show you my new CAI box too. It even has a temperature reader inside of it, I made it out of a roast chicken thermometer.

Thax Max, does your car now come with free charcol chicken that freshly roasted by your exhaust hahaahaha

Heya, just wanted to say thanks again Gav...

Sorry for not being able to keep up, in this thread, I've really been flat out, but thanks again..

I've got a few days off coming up, but also a friends wedding and stuff to screw me over Hopefully, i can put some of the seats in soon... we can hope...

Just a few comments, if I may: Thanks for, the extra material, although, I had really hoped for white, black is ok.. but white would've been real nice.

Black on the sides, with white in the middle, was great, and the purple stitching! Oh THANK YOU! It was beautiful.

My biggest gripe, was when they came in, I played with the zip, and in about 3 seconds, the zip just flew off...it didn't have those blocker things at the end.... any idea, on how to fix it?

Thanks again.. hopefully i'll have some pics soon.

I did the same thing with the zip it's easy to put back on.

Once I put the covers on - I just sewed some thread on the ends of teh zips to act as blockers

By mistake, i have a black set with black stitching. Does anyone else have another colour they wanna swap with?

I would love one with red stitching but tell me what you have.

ellusion, fto12345 confirmed to me he's got black with black stitching..
im assuming someone else mustve gotten yours....

to those who has black with black stitiching, can you please check whether both your front seats are identical? (2 left sides or 2 right sides)...
if they are please let me know..
cheers

I didnt think there is different sides when I was trying to put it on.
But I remember now that passinger side was a perfect fit, however, I had some difficulty to fit the driver side.

I made it fit perfectly at the end but along the way I thought something is wrong where the bottom side ends of the covers are. However, I put it on anyways, looks very good now both sides.

Moral is I may have 2 left sides delivered to me, however, I wasnt clever enough to discover this, I guess I was blinded by the beauty of the seat covers.

I dont think swapping from this moment will work, because I already drilled the holes for seat belt guides. Also, I dont want to change it anyway.

Good luck to the person whoever has got 2 right sides.

Left and Right are slightly different (where the seatbelt guides sit and also the side bolsters) The outside bolsters are bigger on both seats.

I didnt have any problem with belt guides, they were a perfect fit for both seats.

But, you are correct with the bolsters, one side should be longer than the other.

Gav, just wondering if you've sent my seat covers, since everyone, including the other west aussie's have received their stuff. did you send it to the right address? please check. ta

sorry i have been flat out with work this week, the only itme i had to do the last deliverys i took time off to work, I have also been sorting out the problem with ellusions seats, cause i was going to post them at the same time. I have it at top priority, and will try make sure its ready on monday

Um.. sure they are... I think I mite of broken mine.. how did you get the zip back on? Could I take it to someone to fix?

You have to line up the two sides then push the zipper up evenly. Try getting someone to help you hold the sides while you zip it up. I did it myself with a pair of pliers.

i thought you need to take the zippers off to get it on the seat, if you have any trouble cause the material is all comming loose around the zipper, just cut the end off and try again

*curses*
i finally got around to tryin to put my covers on a short time ago, and found out that my passenger side top half doesnt have the loops for the wire U shape to go through, the other 3 parts(bottom and driver top/bottom) have them, but not the passenger side top..

any suggestions, how hard would it be to sew one on? or would it look sh*t if i just didnt use the metal part?

it shouldnt take too long to sew the loops on....
and yes, it would look crap without them...

well i improvised using some zip ties and it worked out well

both front seats are done, though drivers top half, on the middle side has a bit to much material and doesnt hug the seat, but still impressed with the result

hey mxysxy,

I think I am being told that I have your left side seat cover.
I don't know how this mix up could have come about but the only thing is I have already put mine on already and I don't think you would want it.
It already has holes in them to fudge them to put them on.

If you have already put yours on as well that's what you would have done as well so I don't think I want to go through the whole hasself of swapping them meaning we'll have to take it off again and put them on again.

So thanks guys for tracking down my correct seat cover but it could have been a help if I had known this before I ptu it on. But I guess it would have been bit hard then, so thank you but I think I'll just stick with what I have already put on.

Thanks anyway,
