Interesting to see that problem with the RVC - wonder if many others have had the issue.
Great to see the progress on the seats - couldn't believe it when I read about the leather, but at least it has worked out well in the end!
I don't expect an answer if you want to keep it for the finished pics, but are you just repainting the seat backs in black, or going for Steel grey?
When I spoke with Eddie-NL about my issue with the RVC he called it straight away so I guess it's a known problem.
I'm just getting the seat backs painted in the standard gloss black - they are quite scratched so wanted them fresh. I did think long and hard about making them grey as Iv seen it done and looks amazing but decided against it. My RNS has a gloss black section around the buttons so it ties in with that. The RNS is the only bit of gloss black on the inside so it'll work out ok i think

Thank you for the kind words guys  :drinking:

Got an update from Del @ Optimus Trimmers so wanted to update.  Pictures taken as a screen shot from his Instagram account (optimus_automotive_trimmers) so a bit grainy but you'll get the idea

Embossing stamp done



Both uppers stamped on Nappa



Seat backs re painted



Reflection on seat backs - makes me think I need to give the paint on the car a bit of love  :sad1:

I think your rear seat  passengers will need to wear a pair of shades

Mine might get a polish too, to try and bring out some of the scratching!

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Iv had MK3 Scirocco white MFD clocks ready to fit for a while but really want the colour MFD version. A MK6 colour MFD set came up so did some research and looked like I could use my MK3 Scirocco and these MK6 Golf instruments to make a hybrid that'll work in the MK5

Here is how I did it....



Finished, not installed but will be making the trip to see Eddie_NL at some point to get them installed with some other bits.



oooohhhhhh and this, not the greatest pic but they are getting there..........
