Is the Leon seat foam compatible with heated seats aswell? This will become a very popular retro fit upgrade. Great demonstration and superb final result.
To be honest if the pattern is right they get pressed out by the foam of the seat. That's not to say a little heat can help. I put mine in a fan assisted oven at 150c 😅
How difficult is the process of making the buttons black? I'm about to convert my Passat headliner to black, but the buttons are my biggest obstacle. Do you paint them, then send them to be laser etched?
@@EDGE_automotive I was thinking the same but think I prefer the captain seat base, I have often wondered about additional wear on a car derived seat bolster from the way you get down out of a van opposed to getting up and out a car.
You can buy the foams separately, the only reason I got the donor seat was for the pattern for the foam. Unless you mean why not put the FR seats in the Transporter? In which case they're not a direct fit.
Excellent work as always, can’t wait to get my door card done, only man I’d trust on the interior of my car tbh.
Great idea and workmanship 👍
Incredible work, you are a master of your craft.
Thanks! 🙌
Amazing results as always 🤩
Now we need a way to convert standard (slightly sporty) seats into those sofa-seats like in 70s US cars ... ;-)
The ones where you turn a corner and end up on the passenger side.
@EDGE_automotive Exactly!!
(Very love and miss them...)
;-)
Workmanship is immaculate 🙌
Thanks mate!
What paint do you use for the interior plastics? Really want to black out my interior as the greys doing my head in! 😂😂
It's called Innotec, you'll need the Repaplast range.

Yes they are, these had heating elements.
Super tidy! Do you embroider the backrest logo's in house?
Yes I do.
Hi How are you avoiding creasing when fully glueing scrim to panels.
Do you just steam after fitted ?

I do it all in house.
nice will it fit t5 seats too?
Some T5 seats were the same but some were thinner as well, so I'm not sure until I strip one of those down.
Are the seat base the same as well? Your are that look easy 😂
Unfortunately not, although I don't think the captain base looks out of place.

Silly question.. why not just get another FR seat? 🤷♂️

@ yeah, didnt realize the scope of the video at first. Incredible work. 🍺
Recaro Sportster CS video was great too. 🍺
