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 

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

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

Nothing sad about that mate - exactly what I plan to do!!!!

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

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..........
