the benefit of this that you still keep your factory inserts

Thank you for sharing. Has any member here ordered seat inserts from the posted vendor? I was wondering how impressed or happy are you with his seat insert products. His videos and photos look impressive.

just wrote an email to Garry asking for price quotes plus insured shipping. Once he responds I will post his pricing to share.

I’ve had Garry (VisualFX)’s inserts in my car for a few weeks now and I have to say I really like them. My car is the one in his video and I had the first set he made. They have settled in well and now fit better than when first installed.

I spent the day yesterday driving a 911R and the material and pattern is very different. If you want the factory pattern / material etc as used in modern 911s (R, 50th Anniversary, CXX option etc) then check the pics carefully first so you know what you are getting. The material is merino wool and the pattern has a much smaller repeat in black and white only. It is softer and very nice to the touch. Quality is excellent and there are no runs, bobbles etc after 2000 miles of use.

I was at a Porsche event yesterday and even the staff were asking me where I got the covers from as they said it looked much better than the factory option. I prefer these covers to the ones that were in the R and it’s obviously a lot cheaper.

Garry is very helpful so give him a call and he might be able to send you a sample of the material.

I agree they are not original from "PORSCHE Exclusive." That has now been renamed to "PORSCHE Manufaktur."

It is from this vendor.

Default 911-50/911R Pepita

We've just received a delivery of the 991 pepita in two colours: agate grey/geyser grey and black/sliver grey. Inserts for LWB seats made in either are available for £557 + shipping, or £141+tax+shipping/metre for the material alone (1m should be enough for a pair of seats).





More details at: http://classiccarrestorationsurrey.c...-seat-inserts/
