Jak Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi, I'm new here and will hopefully be picking up my first 350z on saturday morning after coming from a swift gti! (a good one, not a tatty chavved up effort i must add! ) Anyway..... Its a 53plate (33,000 miles) Gunetal grey GT pack with upgrade alezan leather. Unfortunatly the drivers seat has a bit of a nasty mark on the back (lower back area) Ideally i would want the panel replaced but i rang nissan and they only sell the cover with the pad at a stonking 1500 quid! This leads to the next best question........... do any of you know of a good company who can supply a new panel/ do a repair? Its a shame because it seems to be the only blemish on the car Many Thanks Jak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 What about a total re-trim on both seats ?, could go for something a it different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 to the forum! Can you post a picture up - surprising what you can do to bring it back to life without expensive effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks for the warm welcome and suggestions so far! As far as a retrim goes i would rather not as i really like the Alezan orange and also mine has the gearstick, handbrake and steering wheel in it too - so would be a major retrim! anyways on to the piccy's Jak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 That looks like an ink stain. Have you rung any leather specialists to see if they can try and remove the stain? or maybe see if it can be re-dyed. Worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 that looks like blood was the last drive shot in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 That should be an easy one for any trimmer worth his salt. Should re-dye very easily and cheaply. A retrim is extreme to say the least. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2009 8:28 pm Reply with quote that looks like blood was the last drive shot in it? HPI didnt highlight it........... It does look like an ink stain but the dealer has described it as the "colour has been rubbed away" Will be collecting on saturday anyway (so long as all else is ok) so will be able to have a better look then (havnt actually seen the car yet, have a small refundable deposit on it - its in newcastle i'm in buckingham!) Pic of my old gti (and brothers Navara!) incase anyone was interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 nowt to worry about but get dealer to discount it for you. Subject to what the stain is from or if its rubbed away the top pigmented skin you can get Gliptone to mix up a matched coulour dye and treatment or if not you will be able to clean it up. try water on a damp rag first to see what comes off then let us know so we can go to stage 2 cleaning.

M350ZB Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Was just thining if its from a dealer, did you buy it knowing that the stain/mark was there, if not they shoudl be able to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Welcome bud As others have said, a decent company should be able to sort that out. Even a full (2 seats) retrim should cost you no more than £500-£600 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
