Hi there - I got directed here by Steve B (Boxesy)! Where did you get your Recaro Pole Positions retrimmed? Is that the standard seat padding, or have had them tweeked?
Many thanks

Graham,

I normally use Junior from Mj to do my work, but if he cant do it for you due to work load, Andy from Snappy Gaitors (head foreman to the interior coach build in Bentley) will do it.

I normally use these two guys for my cars, and the stitchwork is 2nd to none! And yes, there is more padding in the seats, as the original ones dont have much padding at all for comfort.

Just give me a PM with your phone number and I will give you more details.

thanks

Norm

VWs to Porsches is a natural progression! As i stated in Total 911 magazine 911 is a mere Beetle;-)

Grab a 911 while you can!

Dont know if you guys know of Marco Hager, the guy with an absolute trailer queen concour silver mk1 golf-front cover car, which his garage with underfloor heating is built especially for in Germany.

Well now he has this:



Greg Howell who had the Lamborgini mk4 golf on air has this now:



Richard Payne...Players CEO has a mk2 vr6 front cover has this :



Darren from Gwerks.....camo Audi TT has this:

the red one with the gold BBS Le mans



And Dr.Knaff ....Mike who im sure you will have seen on here with the white 964 with polished Speedlines used to have a nice mk1 Golf!

so..............does this explain the hunger for clean if not the cleanest 964s around.

Love your car! 964 is the best looking 911, and yours is one of the nicest.

BTW. Do you know the specs on the LM's on Darrens car.

I've known Jordan for years, i just kicked it w/ him a few months ago at h20. You should come to H20 next year, hit me up if you decide to go. Patric James and the rest of the Players guys stayed with us this year, it was a blast. That would be great if Elliot did a Performance Porsche mag, i think it would do well!
I'm currently searching for the right 964 C2 or 993 C2S.. we'll see what I find!

Just added you on facebook. I did meet Icy at h20, he wasn't taking any pictures of my car though, I flew out there this year.. I live in Seattle. Hopefully i'll get to meet more of the Westsdie and edition38 guys in the near future.. I'd like to come out for worthersee or edition38 next year. We'll see
