Steven Kirk in Bangor Auto Valet painted it. It's VW. Tornado Red. Not too bad at £225 although I had most of the prep work done myself.

Re: Its red folks
I'm sure you can get it re-upholstered. Try a furniture makers, they might do it for you. I had the seat on my NC30 turned to suede by a guy that makes sofas'

Re: Its red folks
lol. I have already re-upholstered the rear seat with black vinyl myself but I wanted to keep the embossed VFR on the front seat.
I might try some glue to stick vinyl onto it so the VFR still shows through. but if that messes up I'll likely need a new seat.
What way is your seat fixed Viper?

Re: Its red folks
That's very nice, won't get lost in the car park, I used a company called smartrrr's and paid £45 plus postage to get my seat covered in Alcantara with a red leather strap, this was an easy job for him as he does more detailed work normally check out his website http://www.smartrrrs.biz/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
