Well on Saturday I done a deal with a guy to swap his leather recaros for mine plus a wee bit money his way, so 3 o'clock on Saturday I went round to the unit and half an hour or so later the car looked like this
I took the time to Hoover under where the seats go and gave the cloth seats a wee Hoover up for the boy
And a few hours waiting about the guy showed up with the goods and I got them fitted
I just need to get the door cards and arm rest retrimmed to match as the guy never had leather door cards, but overall I'm pretty happy with the seats :-D

A wee update with plenty pics
sourced myself a leather armrest
Couldnt get any door cards in leather so decided to strip mine out and send them off to transcal for some leather and red stitching
and while it was in i thought id send away the dsg shifter for a retrim too with red stitching and i picked up an edition 30 handbrake cover
and heres the door cards back
I stripped down the front grill for a freshen up and a colour change
managed to break one of the slats :headbang:
while the car was lying in pieces was the perfect time for some machine polishing
before refining
after finish polish
a few things came through the post
100% legal short plate from ebay
removable plate suction cup kit from gecleant.de (tested to 130mph private motorway lol)
Glass wiper blank from gecleant.de
Polished up the wheels
waxed the car
managed to source another slat and get it painted and back to me just in time for cumbria vag show
fitted at half 10 on friday night
chrome paint was going for the original finish so not a bright chrome but more a smoke chrome it turned out not bad i think thanks to touch ups for getting it done for me in time especially with the replacement slat arriving at them 12 oclock on friday
and finally at cumbria vag show and shine

Not updated this in a while so ill start by posting pictures from the last show i went to titanic dubs over in ireland. I never actually took any photos myself so ive just stole these from facebook lol
Now that winter has set in ive started to rebuild the super rs
Got some Custom centre nuts made from a single piece of billet rather than the crappy bbs plastic threads that are all damaged. Thanks to Chris Keeton at b1ncc autostyle
https://www.facebook.com/B1nccAutostyle?fref=ts
The inner barrels were then powdercoated oem silver by Mikey at fife powdercoating, another top guy dont have any pictures but will get some when i get them all finished
i dropped the wheels off to mike the polisher to work his magic on hes already started work on them and sent me a couple teaser shots
bought some new stainless bbs short valves
The aftermarket gold bolts are going in the bin to be replaced by the original Bbs bolts gold plated. Small things like this really satisfy my OCD lol
A preview picture Mike sent me of the centres before they are finished
New centre nuts arrived and new nuts for the bolts
Centres nuts and valves with genuine Bbs valve caps all ready to fit to wheels when they are back :D
The wheels are finished
Picked up the wheels
And built up one to see how they looked finished
