I got very lucky on eBay and managed to contact the seller before he posted pictures. Offered him a Buy It Now price which he accepted - I then got the original recovered with the red stripe added and I've kept the eBay one for as and when I sell the car _________________ Current:

Laid up for winter??? That car seems to be permanently laid up with you dodging IED's and what not in the sand pit.  _________________ 997.2 Carrera 2S GT Silver/Cocoa.

All part of the masterplan to keep the miles down, I’ve racked up close to 1700 this last year, nearly had a coronary when it got to 25k. plus Herman doesn’t like the cold wet weather... _________________ 991 C2S PDK - X51 430 powerkit, Carbon GT2 folding buckets, PCCB, PDCC, PSE, Carrera S alloys, Sports design bodykit with ducktail and Alcantara steering wheel.

If you remove the steering wheel there's less chance you'll flog the car  _________________ The game's afoot. It's time to put a bit of (Colini) stick about......964/993 wanted. Cash waiting. No dreamers

At that price it's better to get your original recovered without blowing all your dough _________________ The game's afoot. It's time to put a bit of (Colini) stick about......964/993 wanted. Cash waiting. No dreamers

Depending on use I’d go for the recover if you haven’t tried a standard one. The one I had was standard and it was not very comfortable as it doesn’t have enough padding. Before I get flamed it was very tiring/awkward on track as well as on longer trips.

Thanks for all the suggestions, the rennlist one isn’t cheap I think recovering the existing with extra padding is the way to go. To have one padded out first is going to make all the difference
Hell there’s even scope then for the yellow band to match the seatbelts _________________ 991 C2S PDK - X51 430 powerkit, Carbon GT2 folding buckets, PCCB, PDCC, PSE, Carrera S alloys, Sports design bodykit with ducktail and Alcantara steering wheel. If Carling did a 991S...

Take the thickness of Jonttt's wallet and divide that by 2.8752.  _________________ The game's afoot. It's time to put a bit of (Colini) stick about......964/993 wanted. Cash waiting. No dreamers

Looking at 2mm, im told even a little bit of extra girth makes all the difference.
Royal looks good with the possibility of an exchange unit or 1 week turnaround #boom
If anyone wants to volunteer to go and remove Herman's wheel for me (with a short complimentary Herman drive) it could be over by the time I get home  _________________ 991 C2S PDK - X51 430 powerkit, Carbon GT2 folding buckets, PCCB, PDCC, PSE, Carrera S alloys, Sports design bodykit with ducktail and Alcantara steering wheel.
