Front seat scratches

bromers · 11-07-2009, 11:29 AM

Due to the kids clambering in and out of the rear seats the front seats have picked up a couple of scratches on the back.

What's the best way to repair them ?

Have considered "wrapping" them in carbon fibre ?

Yep i think carbon fibre wrapped kids will prevent any further scratches

I would cover the back in CF wrap as its quite dull and tacky imho

How easy (or hard) is it to remove the backs? I think I'd consider getting them repainted to match the existing finish or maybe do them body colour?

Hold up, what about some fake-wood fablon?

I'm in the same boat as you guys but haven't addressed it until now. I would be interested to hear your solutions.....

Few scratches on back of mine too, someone asked before what they were made out of but no1 answered me.

I can never see them (didnt see them when I was buying the car) cos I aint in the back ever, but it bugs me that they are there.

Anyone?
