jaysVR6 2 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Just bought these babiesGave myself the day off today as had a few things to do and went over to MJ interiors in Bradford. He has done some mint motors and seems bloody good. I need some Recaro sub frames for these seats and MJ has quoted me 200 notes for some!I will have to get some off him if it comes to it but if someone just happens to know of any floating around i've got cash waiting.Also to get my rears re-covered (including headrests) to match 4-500 spondoolics!!Can't quite afford that yet but a few more hours infront of the Mac then I should be able to afford it!

jaysVR6 2 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Oh go on then - the pussy comes free! Do you reckon I could sell my current front seats at all, or are they worth nothing?They are mint, only done 57k.Be nice to get some of the money back. My bank balance is in great pain at the moment!I am selling a spanking new in the box Sony Ericsson K700i and G4 Powermac with 15inch Apple TFT monitor as well. Thats how much I need to get the cash back!Anyone interested? Link to post Share on other sites

jaysVR6 2 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Mark, the mod scene is mad. Its just bloody endless isn't it?Really though, how much do you reckon you can spend on a bloody VR before it becomes pointless?I spent silly money on a RST and never got it back. I suppose modding our cars just makes it more attractive for a purchaser. (as long as its not the shat power route!) Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Fook me there gorgous! Would look mint in any car esp a VR6 Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I'm a bit concerned its just gonna be too much black leather in a black car. Perhaps I'll spray them blue! When I was at MJ interiors he showed me the beautiful re-trims he'd done. I cant understand some people, this one guy had his red VR completely re-trimmed in red leather. It looked lovely but he kept the standard seats in the front. Why spend a grand on a re-trim and not get some shabby Recaros for the front and get them trimmed?I can't wait to get mine in, i'm like a little kid at the moment !amazed Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Bet you are! Would only make sense to get some tatty recaro's but some people....... Black leather in a black car is fine. Got it in mine, but set it off with beige trim so its not oo black. Link to post Share on other sites

nickg123 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 They are gorgeous!!!To be honest any money spent on modifying a car is pointless, but we all just HAVE to do it Only thing i've learnt is to keep as much of the standard stuff as possible, so when you sell the car - return it to as near standard as possible and sell all the bits separately, it's the only way of getting any of the money back really as people pay as much for Standard cars as they do modded ones at this end of the market Evo's etc are a bit different as people know how much the mods cost and buy them to modify etc. Link to post Share on other sites

jaysVR6 2 Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I'm just waiting for my subframes from MJ interiors now. I don't let the cat climb all over them at all, he just jumped up when I took the picture!The seats cost me £400 from a guy off ebay, hed paid a massive figure for them a month or so ago brand new but couldn't really afford them. So I snapped them up for cash! I had to drive to Milton Keynes to collect them.Its mad, I'm keeping the seats in the hallway untill I fit them, when I get home, the hall stinks of leather. Its lovely!! Link to post Share on other sites
MarkGolf 6 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 £400!!! OMG!!I had someone offer me £350 for my front Recaros, i would have bloody bought those!!Your one lucky 'BEEEEPPPP' Link to post Share on other sites
1990 1 Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 if it comes to it but if someone just happens to know of any floating around i've got cash waiting.Lovely!! The only place i ever see recaro subframes is german e-bay, that could be worth a try to save a few bob but they will probably take a couple of weeks to come over. Link to post Share on other sites
