i thought about just pming this but i think it needs to be said "out loud."
Galva, FWIW, i don't think you're a bad person, it just seems you handle delicate situations in the worst way possible. maybe in the future you will come under less ridicule if you censor your comments and think about how what you write may be interpretted. it may not seem like it matters but I think it'll go a long way if you wish to join any community that's aware of your handling of your incident. I hope you understand what you did here and what you're causing now by coming back without even an apology or word of remorse for those that felt they were taken advantage of. (much less the main person involved)I think if you speak openly one way or another it will help your status here...
done lecturing...
With that being said, I truly like the car. With the exception of the seats, thats where I plan on taking my 968. Mine's black though so Im thinking a burnt orange set of cup 1's(c2 turbo btw) and an orange 911 style club sport fender decal...
good luck...

^very cool! my seats are a little iffy right now as well (standard brown leather seats) so thats the first step for me. Same problem though... Not an insignificant amount of money...
Man I like the way that car sounds! Have any pics handy? I think the stitching would look fine. and definitely have 968CS under the badge

the early pics have silver scripts and don't feature the splitter - It's a work in progress....
Supercharged to produce 370 brake - I love my car.
Let me know what you do with your seats - I've been quoted £600 to get mine done - think I'll wait 'til after Christmas!

FraMac your car looks AWESOME!
Those Recaro's look really comfy.
I was thinking of putting the seats I currently have in the 968 in my Audi project/race car.
What did those seats run?

i talked to the seller o(in arizona) of that car 3 years ago. almost purchased it as a parts car because it was so cheap... and had so many issues then... the white wheels and clubsport decal looked as fully horrid then as now. sand blast them and pull the gawdy clubsport decal.
for the seats, 10 dollar Plasticote vinyl paint. in black. about 5 or 6 very light coats. let dry completely before each coat.... or use dye from the center of big fat scripto permanent markers cut in half with a hack saw.
that's the best way to end the horrible red seat fail. the result will be very clean.

The chairs are Recaro Poles which are very similar to the Clubsport seat with the moulded, colour coded backs that you find in some CS cars (but the Poles have a flat back - no moulding).
They are very comfortable - once you're in them you won't be sliding anywhere. We drive to Le Mans each year to watch the 24 hour (car) racing - about 500 miles each way, and neither my wife or I have ever had any back issues from the drive. Additionally the car accommodates all of our luggage (we camp there) so it's practical on a number of levels.
Cost wise I bought the seats separately (hence they don't match!) and paid I think about ££ sterling 350 for each seat, including the subframe.
They're a doddle to fit - sub bolts straight in to the floor with no mod required.
I spent a while looking for genuine CS seats, but all the pairs I saw were north of £1000 sterling, and some were in shocking condition.
I'll try and sort some pics of the rear seat delete this afternoon.

I love the seats, wheels, and the decals.
Hence, why I bought the car.
