dch1950 37 1 Cars Posted February 6, 2012 Hi all, A customer of mine sent me a picture of his ' 87 Cti (1.6) along with the trim. I don't know this particular insert type/style. Any ideas anyone.? probably a bit of an intellectual exercise but it would be nice to categorise it. regards Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stufarri 98 3 Cars Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) I can't see the picture but that year car came with 'biarritz' trim - very fragile and most have disintegrated by now. Have look on ebay.fr for 205 biarritz. This was phase 1 GTI and CTI trim that changed to the tweed type (in GTIs anyhow) in 1988 with phase 1.5's. Hope this helps. EDIT - just seen the picture and stiil stand by the view above. Edited February 6, 2012 by stufarri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dch1950 37 1 Cars Posted February 6, 2012 Hi, thanx for your reply. I wondered if it was but decided it was too pale. The picture I have of Biarritz inserts looks like this: seemed much"redder". Must be a UV fade thing. regards Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dch1950 37 1 Cars Posted February 7, 2012 Thank you both, I think that pretty well confirms it . Presumably cloth bolsters as well. regards Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weser 30 Posted February 7, 2012 I have this is my CTi and its rubbing away in places. Can you get hold of this Dave? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dch1950 37 1 Cars Posted February 7, 2012 I can't , and I don't know who can. It follows the usual routine I'm afraid. Non of the PUG insert materials are currently manufactured by anyone. I am still working on my new "Quartet" fabric trying it out to see how it wears, washes etc in order to convince myself it won't fall to bits in 5 minutes. The test seats I re-covered have been in daily use for 2 months now and It's looking good so far. It has encouraged me to contact a textile test lab to formalise the tests. This will then enable me to proceed another step further. regards Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weser 30 Posted February 7, 2012 Ok great I look forward to the results! With these seats shown the bolster cloth material is different to others I have seen. It is sort of ribbed. Is this material about do you know? As for me these areas are worn more than the inserts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
