Well I was, but since you've read the post, I don't need to. You should now do it of your own accord :P

Close enough. Thing is, if the current trim is in rather crap nick, I can wait it out a bit and get them retrimmed the way I've been semi discussing in this thread. But from the looks of the photos they should be pretty reasonable, so hopefully that's the case.

Probably a good thing. Means I'm not getting cheap knock offs :mrgreen:

Hey Peter,

Yes, I did get seats, however I am yet to collect them. They've arrived in the country, but they're in Melbourne. I'm going down there at the end of November, so I figured I can wait a little bit longer and save on delivery by getting them myself.

I ended up getting a set of the Mazda Sports seats which have that gradient pattern in the middle with black surrounds. Once I've actually got them and have them installed on the car, pics will be coming up. They won't be in until the start of December though.

Those are the ones (well, identical in style anyway... those aren't my seats specifically). I see you've dug up the trader's pictures :P

Forum Lurker? :P
If you posted more regularly, I'd use your name, but then it removes that air of mystique as well. I suppose I should've realised you'd be watching this thread considering what happened last time :P

Danny, nice one :mrgreen:
