Since you had the bench refurbished I see the advantage of doing that. :happy2:

I too rarely transport people in the back of the car. Can you legally transport 5 from now on?

Legally no - realistically I'd never want anyone in the back anyway cause i'd be worried they'd damage the paint on the wingback rears  :signLOL:

Just read all of this, my eyes are stinging a bit lol... Kinda gobsmacked of what you've achieved so far with it :drinking:

Initially I thought the Pescaras looked better but when I saw the car dropped a bit with the newer wheels I think they look great..

Look forward to what else you are doing now!

In the meantime, I've called the scrap man to come and collect my GTi, as compared to this..... mine is....  :signLOL:

Nice work on the rear seats - that's a really nice little detail just there. Links the plaid up very well indeed  :congrats:

So had a road trip to Scotland today and collected the rear bench fro Del @ Optimus Interiors. Once again my photography skills don't do these things justice, but wanted to share so please forgive my photo skills...
