My daughter is driving around in a black designer and the seat dashes are missing. What were the original ones like? I have seen pictures of the seats which show red rectangles, but what is the sig, is it welded into the fabric, is itcoured onto the red? Are they different for black or white models? Can anyone send me a picture please??? Many thanks
Also, the designer logos, I can make these to order, but can someone tell me the size from tip to tip of the line underneath?
Thanx

hay stickerman the logo on the seats is mary quants signiture its the same for both sets as its the same interior. Its made of vinal heat inprinted onto the fabric which is why the surounding bits scrape off over the years hope that helps x

As the grinding and prep work continues... I have bought some else for kitkat In the shape of a Pre A+ 1098 Engine! It has already got some modifications, Such as an MG Metro Camshaft and 40tho Skimmed head so its right on track.. I know you guys dont like modifications and that but I thought a nice little engine project wouldnt go amiss for KK! The plans for it are: Ported and Skimmed 12g202 head Rimflo Valves 1:3:1 Rockers MG Metro Camshaft Lightened and balanced Flywheel Maybe some Flat Top pistons after a compression test Ok so here's some Piccys: And As it sat on Sunday when it went to my workshop Hope you like it! :S
