Well they at least looked like that Mr T!

No HH, but somebody should say not to bother wearing gloves, as there's cow dung all over the wheel alreadyHolland Harry wrote:Well they at least looked like that Mr T!

Open and close with German style and ingenuity!
shame
OMG! You would have to be colour blind to drive around in that Z1..
He should give a 5,000 Euro discount for the bad taste!
How can the German people build such amazing cars yet have such bad taste in clothes and colour combinations!!

Re: Harry
He just wasn't fast enough with his 2.7l to see me laughing! You know I am married to a german girl so I am already used to the sometimes questionable taste of the Germans.benslick wrote:Harry,
Why did you not ask him if he was mad or were you to busy laughing at him?
And NO Jet, Mr T, and Benslick an all you other madmans "No joke that it's clear Germans have bad taste, that's why my wife choice me!!! 
That would be to obvious mates. 
It is very difficult to cover Z1 seats. (regardless of how awful the colours chosen by our fellow Z1 owners are, although I assume most were done buy the dealers selling the cars with bad seats)
When I changed my old ones (which were subsequently used for cavity wall insulation) they appeared to be injection foam moulded.
The covers are made followed by foam injection, that is how they get the ripple effect at the base of the seats to allow for the reclining movement.
Covering the seats will always be a less optimal solution. The covers will slacken or become loose with time.
I have also seen replacement covers stuck over the original leather or cloth. This just leads to the cloth pattern of crosses coming through onto the leather covers or a ripple effect.
Best bet is to buy a new set of seats (ala Ben/Harry). They are not that expensive considering the original ones are now 20 years old and if kept dry will last for 100000 km before showing signs of wear.
