Small update. I actually physically have the seats as of today. I knew the top section where it said type r would have to come off to get a new section of alcantara put in so i set about the stitching that said type R and it actually came off (after about 1.5 hours of taking the seat & cover apart then undoing the thread) So at the moment i am left with this:
Sorry about the quality, took it on my shitty iPhone.
You cant really tell it said type R until your really really close to it so im not gonna bother getting new alcantara sections. So prob saved myself a good £200!! Now all i need to do is do the other seat and get my recaro subframes, get some resistors to trick the airbag sensors so the airbag light stays off and im all set!! Will post pics up when done
