For those that are interested in seeing a final result(like Boris's but a different colour, Black w/ Red Stitching) I finally finished mine today
In the words of Glynn Nichols,
"and now...here's a picture"
(excuse the rain drops
)
Damn your hands get a bit sore by the end of that

well, i think most ppl fitted it all them selves. not hard, just time consuming as you have to take the old covers off.
took me a good day and a half to do a good job.
in the group buy section there is another thread on it somewhere.

So the time consuming part was takeing the old covers off? Someone should post a DIY article on this...Any chance of yet another group buy?

Well for the 1/5 of the price I don't think you can beat the leatherette seatcovers for the value of money, especially they are custom made.
Your leather seats are nice but i rather spend the money on these (as below) for the same amount of money
& yeah i'm getting these leatherette for my back seats & doors

Fair comment, how did you fit the seat belts on the Sparcos?
More importantly, what sub frame did you use?
*edit* just realised your using the original belts, most people fit a four point system to complete the look.

Sub frame? As in seat's rails? If so, they are original Sparco's rail designed for FTO, direct boil on, no modification needed. It even still got the original FTO 6E3A stickers on the rails
