Beautiful CSL Seats Retrimmed

The way i'll do it, I'll preserve the OEM covers, then start from the beginning with cinnamon leather......Just need to find someone to get me a similar color. or maybe even imola red.

My original covers were ruined so were only used as a template/guide for the new leather/alcantara then they were binned as they were filthy and ripped.

Well mine are near mint so I would like to wash them and then pack and wrap them and store them. You never know when they might be needed. So the shop that did your retrim should have a template for the seat now. right? This might make it easier just to call them and tell them to make the covers and send them to me and i'll fit them myself.

Family business is interior decor so it shouldn't be difficult lol.

That's a good idea, keep the originals you have mint. When selling you can give the buyer the option of OEM or re-trimmed.

Not sure if Laurence would have a template as such. Might be an idea to contact him.

Has anyone pulled the original CSL seats apart to see if the tilting mechanism could be bolted to a normal Pole Position (thus having the seat belt eyes that the OE seats lack)?

Also, is there anyone that could then retrim the Pole positions in factory material?

Mike, I looked into this sometime ago and it CAN be done however the plastic trim that fits to the side of the CSL seat doesn't line up with the higher Pole Position bolsters. Also the PP are a different design to the CSL seat which as you probably know is based on the Recaro SPG. Mounting any bucket seat to the CSL base frames is possible though. It just won't look as tidy is all.

Looks a quality job in a non-CSL way. Seat backs; carbon fibre or re-trimed to match.:thumbs:

Seat backs I left well alone. The repaired seat has been repainted in satin black and the new seat tub was left alone (although it came with free scratches and marks from BMW!)
