Why change just the one seat? I really don't understand that.
I would personally change both fronts if doing something similar.
You valleys boys confuse me. BTW I am not classed as a valley boy due to where I reside.
Just to make you feel better my thread about the Kalos has a similar amount of pages to it albeit banter and piss taking.

Tbh... Because it was cheap and my passenger don't need a bucket, the main reason I've got this one is because I wanted to see if I can live with it daily, I can lol so ill get a pair of better seats in the future.
Although I have been offered another seat like mine.
Rear will be getting stripped next week.

Well.., Car failed mot on Saturday, won't be getting repaired, needs another axle, welding, ball joint and a load of other bits, would've ended up chasing problems.
Buuuuut I'm picking up a black vtr on Sunday, found it for a real decent price, not actually seen the car yet though but providing its rust free it will be getting 16v at some point next year.

Update....
Like the previous post it failed mot and I bought the black vtr, the black one had the head gasket gone, I repaired it all properly with head skim all new parts etc and failed after 3k miles, cracked head suspected. Shell is 100% rust free.
So I looked at my options:-
1, 16v black vtr with shit body work
2, swap engine from Icelandic into black one
3, sort Icelandic.
I fixed the Icelandic, realised there isn't as many problems as first thought and got to it using the black one for parts I need.
So I've replaced, track rod end, fixed handbrake, got axle to go on from black one, sorted ball joint which needed tightening ffs, refitted inlet manifold, driveshafts and alternator from black one as I sold these on.
Then refitted supersprint 4-2-1 and prospeed manifold back system, reconnected battery, first turn and bwaaaaarp! I was a happy lad!
Along the way I noticed rust, and a lot of it, thought I may as well go along with it and get it sorted now in here, so put it in for mot, failed on a couple if things which got sorted and is currently in getting strut top and under fuse box welded up.
I pick the car up tomorrow with a 12m ticket! And then tax on Tuesday April 1st!
My first car is back!
Oh and there's more...
It's getting tracked, daily track slag ftw!
I've got this :-
And these coming :-
Oh and how I left it Monday morning

Snow foamed it
Meguairs shampoo can't remember the name
Auto glym super resin polish
And auto glym bumper shine
Comes up well but needs a machine polish, I'll invest in one over next few months

Is that all? I usually snow foam, AG shampoo, AG SRP, AG egp and don't get a shine like that! Good work.
I'm lucky I have a mate who works in a body shop so can use his machine. I wanna buy my own this year thou, prob gonna go for a das6 pro

Yeah that's pretty much it mate, I sometimes use Meguairs ultimate liquid wax as well, I think that gives a better shine but never used it with the SRP, which I'm gonna do next time because I've seen that it's beat to polish it then put a wax over the top.
The das6 is what I've been looking at.

I've got a rotary you can purchase if you want Josh. I bought it off Craig (pontpool boy) and only ever used it once.
