Yes definitely, I wanted T16 TZS, but the prefix type plates didn't use Z, so this will be close enough.

Did you put a blog of superglue on the fabric where you cut the seats? stops it tearing more ... although not usually an issue :)

Looking good though! Whats next on the cards for the car?

No superglue, I just went for it with a sharp stanley, it seems to have worked fine.

Next, I have a collection of bits to do my own take on a Sheddist type kit for the clutch hydraulics, because the 620ti gearbox has a different clutch lever, the slave cylinder points in the opposite direction to a 180 one, so 2 solutions, take the box off and swap the lever for a 180 one, or use a combination of 620 master and slave cylinders which are both metal and can be bled, an mgf clutch hose, then make up the hard pipes to connect it all together from 3/16 brake pipe and suitable unions, this gives me a system that gets rid of the plastic components, can be bled, and also has none of the dry break connector nonsense.

Are they different material (seats black, headrests flecked?

Either way, looks a clean job :)

I think the camera highlights the difference, in the flesh they look right at home:smile1:
