Yeah rear seats are pretty easy to get out, start with the one on the right as it's not as heavy. On the right side near the door , the bolt coming out of the seat is latched in, just lift the latch up and you can remove that side, then wiggle the left bolt out. as for the bottom lower seat, simples. just flip it over and push the bolts held into the car out. Do the same for the other side but this time the seatbelt is attached to the seat so get a 17mm socket (i think and undo the nut that holds the belt in place ( might need a proper socket wrench thingy like you use on the wheel bolts). Undo, pull out, spray seats, make a mess of patio (I might need to power wash it soon woops :))
 
Jesus that sounds quite a pain in the ass :p still i'd rather have a proper job instead of half a one heh.

You know when you did the rear headrests, did they take to paint at the sides too? I believe thats rubberised as well, if it's taken i'm getting some now :D

Thanks again for the info bud :)
 
It's only a small hassle, but it saves masking up the place, which will probably be needed when I do the fronts anyway. I think my headrests are different to yours, all of mine are fabric the whole way around. If it doesn't work. Shoe polish :)
 
Damnnn thats annoying haha, bloody SEAT parts lottery. I swear every car is different :D

If that's the case i'm gunna wait to see how the backs of your front seats come out, if they ain't a pain in the arse i'll go for it, shoe polish sounds a very good idea though, hopefully it shouldn't rub off
 
Dropped the front coils to the bottom, about 2cm lower now, yummy :)

Wait for that to dry, then passenger side and headrests, might not have enough for doorcards though :(
 
Looks the perfect driving position :lol:

oh yeaaaah!

Stezo, when you do it, order 5. I ran out right at the end doing the headrests so I swapped the rears to front. then you'll have enough to do the door cards n all
and no it doesn't dye the rubbery bits on the back of front seats etc. might have to find another thing for that, it's not too bad though havings it original colour
Think I needs a black headlining and pillars now :think:


Oh and forgot to mention this guys, but when I got back I noticed the bonnet wasn't actually straight, it's angled to the left a tiny fraction, anyone know what I can do about it?

Haha awesome, thats how you do it bud :D surprised you didn't take out the front seats to spray although I can imagine the front ones being a bitch to take out. Gutted about the rubbery bits btw, I am gunna wait to see how you get on with those then i'll order the paint :) thanks for letting me know. Does it go darker when its dry? Looks more grey than black

For the pillars you can always get them vinyl coated :) seen some pretty good results

Btw I'm loving those facelift FR grills, you should get some top grills too, really does make a difference I think
 
Yeah they don't go black just a lot darker grey. Suppose if you do another coat it'd be darker but that's more monies
 
Awesome, well I can see theres a big difference mate so I probably will anyway :) I think they'll match the rubber better like that compared to completely black so that's a bonus. Hopefully they won't stain as bad now :D
 
Bummer about the accident dude but on a lighter note, the front bumper looks killer :). Makes a huge difference to how it looks.
 
thanks man
Right since the trim dye went better than I thought I want to get the pillar trims and headlining black, can someone give me some good suggestions on what to do?
Thanks much!
