hi

close enuff considering most s14a cream leather is around 10 yr old. the arm rest n gaiter are deffo 'more' cream, and look newer, but if your leather is in a1 condition it would be very close. i'll try n pinch a camera and take better photos, the ones in my post above and in the ebay listing are from my 3mp camerfone :wack:

Where is best to try and get your seats re-covered? And how much was not cheap as I'd like mine doing really as mine are coming apart a bit.

i got a gear gaiter from that guy and was looking at the arm rest covers too - i might treat the car to one now :)

hey mate, i am thinking of getting the same. do u have pics of the inside of the lid?? does the armrest cover just sleeve over? was it hard to fit?

veef

01-02-2008, 13:13

no pics with me but i can get some. its a neat fit, you have to remove the lid and split it in two. it then tucks underneath the innerpart.

when i originally got the cover from them it was just a bit of leather, but i complained as couldnt get a nice finish and sent the lid to them. they fitted it properly for free and made templates from my lid and thats what should be being sent out now :)

whats ur username on ebay Veef? I am ordering mine now.. if i mention you then u will get brownie points and i will get the proper stuff! I want a slightly darker cream and cream stitching too!

veef

10-02-2008, 20:23

naff! totally forgot to put up a pic of how the cover fits :( how did you get on with all your arm rest covers?

just seen the same place does hand brake boots too... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-200SX-S13-S14-REAL-LEATHER-HANDBRAKE-GAITER-NEW_W0QQitemZ230211146908QQihZ013QQcategoryZ72224Q QcmdZViewItem

:wave:

pic attached of the underside of the lid... hope this helps... take the lid off the arm rest box (2 screws) and then remove the inner lid, put/stick cover on and tuck under the inner part of lid.

when i first got my kit it was an untailored patch of leather. so i sent it back with my lid and they tailored it for free n free return postage and indicated they would use mine as a template... do you have a plain bit of leather or is it tailored?

no idea on the padding, it was padded when it came back :nod:

Thanks for the pic mate :thumbs: looks great. Mine is tailored so should fit a treat. Fingers crossed hey!

It took ages for mine to get here, I think it got lost the first time :annoyed:

But they are good guys.. sent another no problems :clap:

Hey Mate,

Fitted them the wknd, the armrest bit fitted well, although you have to make a few slits here and there and i used a flannel as cusioning :wack:

Then the colour looked very diff, so i decided to start cleaning..
Check out the before and after...

good work mate! looks nice n clean :) what do you use to clean your leather? i tend to use liquid leather and conditioner...

CrazySx

19-02-2008, 14:14

well i know a guy who works in a valet place. He gave me some stuff in a bottle, illuminus green colour. I used that and a scrubbing brush. Then i wiped it down with a rag dipped in fairy. Then dried off with a towel. I left it for a day then used a 'turtle wax' Conditioner. I will take some more pics of the seats. You will see a BIG diff between the ones up here and now.

The armrest cover and gear gaitor are a different cream colour to the s14a leather. The s14a leather is more a greyish cream whereas the new stuff is a more creamy cream if you know what i mean. Not bad nevertheless. However if anyone else does order then look to get a better match if you can.

Thought I'd brighten up the interior a bit with cream leather gear gaitor and arm rest with black stiching, looks nice and the arm rest is padded too :)

what do you all think?

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k87/veef13/both1.jpg

Is there much difference in colour of leather between the seats and gaitor/armrest??

edit see'ed the pictures, just wait until it get dirty then it'll match :thumbs:

lol spot on mate, there is a col diff, but the seats are 10 year old and arm rest cover 0 year old :wack:

crazy mentioned it spot on, our seats are a kind of dirty/grey cream, where as this cream is well, cream :D

veef

20-02-2008, 20:59

not sure if i should get the hand brake boot to match, or if thats over doing it, i'm thinking that might be over doing it a bit :confused:

I think the difference between the gaitor/armrest and the seats maybe a bit more apparent now.

Nice leather armrest, like the double din screen too, looking into them myself now

The s14a leather is "Biscuit" not cream. Thats actually what it's listed as:nod: maybe that bloke could get some biscuit leather and make some? I like the items:nod: but not the cream colour:no: Black suede might be good too. Can you find out from your mate what that leather cleaner was? You did a great job on it:thumbs:
