Well what with my duck but project nearly done. And the splitter project almost being done. Hopefully either next week or the flowing week. After i have done a little bit more work on the exhaust its vibrating on the diagonal supports at the rear :thumbsdown:

I am planing to start my seat mod i have been planing and thinking about for far too long. I brought some seats ages ago and i plan on bulking up the blusterers a little. Depending on how they come apart and how much i can figure out how to make. I have quite ambitious plans. I hope my ability can keep up with my ambition on this one.

So the plan is to have a completely unrecognizable z4 seat but retaining all them electrically adjustable and the heater element. But with sporty supportive side bolster so i dont end up sitting on passengers. I am hopping to keep the leather centers then make aluminum side supports bolted welded fixed in what every way i can to the seat frame. Then pad this and have it covered in a suede material. I will take pictures and i will no doubt ask for advice.

Wish me luck i am heading once more in to the lions den!!!!
 
I dont think that you need new side frames - you can just fit bigger side foames and then reupholster it - probably leather would be a better choice than suede

Suede is easier for the mother in law to work with! The side frames are just to make them look cool. And i want quite a high tight side.
 
you only need the bigger side bolsters to hold you in for when you are on the track again to get more speed lol you never stop do you . :thumbsup: when you do I will bring the m down for you :thumbsup:

Glad to take it off your hands it's a fine example. I think I could do with a reliable second car after I am done with this!!

Stopping is for the weak Ian or the not so easily bored!!
