Meeting with Insurgence next Monday to see nb8a covers, if all good, I will start the template process the same day.

Seeing the interest, Could a moderator please advice, if all ok for me to start a group buy, as well as advertise my current stock?

could we get a pic of one installed on a NB8A (Insurgence's)before group buy???
or will the demo be made at the same time as the group buy ones??
I would just like to see what the quality of the NB8A one will be like beforehand

could you please confirm if stock nb8a seat covers glued to the seat foam or not?

also doesn't look like anyone answered before so here it is
The NB8A cover material is not glued on, just checked whole seat, you can pinch the cover material and pull it away from the foam :D

Great news!, I can get take off the stock covers on Monday.

Getting the template done will take around 3 weeks, and an organised day after to put on the covers, which means that I can produce a photo in almost a month from now on.
I know this is pretty far away, mainly due to the reason more than 2 weeks of this is wasted during postage back and forth.

na and nb seat covers are very similar, it is pretty much the same structure by the look of it, slightly different style, so the final affect will be same as na, if not better due to recent design.

We can wait for nb a month to see the photos, or I can get the production started immediately after submitting the orders. I guess the decision can be taken by the aggrement of interested nb owners.

NB production is under way, it shouldnt be far away to get the pics posted, another 2 weeks probably.

I have below current stock available to be posted immediately.

I too need some NB8A seat covers. I found a hole in the the drivers side one last week......havnt dríven it since :(

I'd be after a fairly exact copy of the original seat cover ie: cloth seat and leather/vinyl (what ever its is on the back of the seats) perhaps with red stiching and no logo 8)

Mine is on the side, you can mix and match!

Sounds like there's a few of us with NB8As keen. :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

mmm... I wanna try this leatherette stuff first before I buy it. I was thinking of getting something similar to 10AE seats, with suede like stuff in the middle. I'm rather curious to see how leatherette performs after being left in the sun in terms of how hot your butt gets.
