Fishnet Headrests

[Wideboy]

Sorry some of the pics didn't come out as well as I had hoped

 

I currently have MK5 Escort Recaro's in the front of the Capri and they had the standard headrests

 

 

 

 

I was lucky enough to pick up some Fishnet Headrests last week at Battlesbridge for £25 however they were a couple of shades of grey away from matching

 

 

Fishnet compared to original

 

So I had a quick trip to Halfords and picked up some grey paint and gave them a dust over.

It was never going to be a 100% match has the Escort trim is a grey with darker fleck

Here's 1 done and 1 not

 

I'd never paint anything fabric that was going to be in constant use or with heavy traffic it just wouldn't work . I only lightly dusted them with a couple of coats just to tone in a little with the original seats...To be honest they aren't as soft as they were,they still feel like fabric just a little rough,But eh I'm not gonna sit in the motor stroking them.They are more for show and apart for the odd moment I never use a headrest anyway...

 

 

 

Dusted over next to original

 

1 done 1 not 

 

Both done

 

Back on the seats

Good job that. They look MUCH better than the original headrests.
