You on about the ones that came in the 135 Shug? They still sold inserts about 6 months ago as i considered replacing mine. Very comfyShug wrote:Corbeau also did an insert that went right up the back of the seat - not sure it's still available, but a quick trawl of demon thieves will tell you.

Re: S1 Roof Refurb options - Hethel no longer do refurbs :(
I should add that I had the seats re-trimmed with some extra padding so they are comfier than they were. I just drove the car from Dundee to York, London, Eastbourne, Walshy, midlands then back to Dundee in a week. Comfy enough.BiggestNizzy wrote:Me I'm getting oldCorranga wrote: who needs comfort in an S1 anyway?!![]()

I was also looking for a Probax refurb. I get a stiff lower back and I already use one of those stick-on pad things. I hated the seats in Ed's S2 exige (55 plate old style seats) but find probax seats to be MUCH more comfortable. As Nizzy already said, I'm also built for comfort and not for speed

Electric scooter sounds good tut, you should reconsider. You could dump a Honda into it.

Would be fun Kenny, but think that you would have the legs on N4 TUT.

I bet she's your dream woman Tut. Sort of a Lady Gaga for the more mature gentleman such as yourself.

Re: S1 Roof Refurb options - Hethel no longer do refurbs :(
The main issue with my roof was that the stitching had rotten over the years. The plastic front strip has also burst, but in places that makes storage in the boot much easier
. It the absence of not having this replacement part, I sent my roof off to Nicolson Hughes Sails (Sailmakers) in Helensburgh. After taking to them on the phone, the thought that they would not be able to re-sew the front edge (where stiching has the poorest) due to the plastic strip.
A week later and a whole £23 + 6.60 p&p the soft top has been returned, back in good health, all seams have been restitched and overall I'm happy with the job. My only mistake was that I forgot to mention to use black thread
As all the stitching was bleached white by the environment over the years, they quite rightly assumed that it was white
. Will sort that out later when I renevo the roof
in years to come
