Munch Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 When I bought my car it had grey cloth fishnet recaros. The guy I bought it from had some brown beta clothed ones that were a bit worse for wear which I also bought. I have since had the bad bits re-trimmed and have swapped them with the grey ones. The only problem is, my car has black back seats, door cards, head lining and carpet. They don't look too bad but I am wondering if anyone has a pair trimmed in black cloth that would want to swap?

Vista Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 You could have new black covers fitted to the brown ones by Aldridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xp197777 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Are your fishnet headrests Brown aswell though , you could probably spray them black but I’m not sure if anyone’s tried it on headrests, it works on other interior parts though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munch Posted June 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I could do I suppose, I will have to look into it. Yes my headrests are Brown. Being vinyl would paint stick? I saw a pair at Santa Pod for £140 but retrimming and new headrests will cost a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xp197777 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 I’ve sprayed quarter panels ,kick panels etc and I’ve heard of people doing sun visors which are flexible but I’ve never tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT36 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 I got one black headrest spare, as I currently have three. There was another on eBay this week for £40 which didn't sell. I've messaged at £30, but not had a reply yet. Fairly easy to re-trim. 1. Slice along the underside. 2. Pull frame out through the slice. 3. £3.99 for a Daffyd Vest on eBay. Diamonds are the exact same size and direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munch Posted June 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Is that how you do it, I have been trying to roll the material off without success! If you slice the underside how do you reseal it? One last thing, what the he'll is a daffyd vest? Is that from Gavin & Stacey? Great help, thanks dt36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT36 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Use a fresh new stanley blade and cut along the join. The old netting is just stretched around the frame that has retaining lugs on the bottom of the frame. You can use the old net as a template and just run some stitching on the new stuff. Slide it back in and just glue it back along the cut. A Daffyd Vest? Right, there's a boy in my village. His names Daffyd. Now Daffyd's a little bit different and is a big fan of Right Said Fred. You could safely say that Daffyd is... Anyway, get your Daffyd Vest here. I Pre warned my Missus and actually ordered it the same time as some pond meshing samples. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F311541879287 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
