Title: Initiale rear seats - any tips
Post by: renaultbiler on July 28, 2010, 12:35:28 pm
I am in urgent need for 2 rear seats Espace JE Initiale - dark grey leather and Alcantara
I have always missed one, and yesterday the cat destroyed one - damn cat !
Any tips on where i might get some is much appreciated, we now dont have enough seats to transport family.
I have available a full set from Germany but the seller wont arrange shipping..

Damn cat!  >:(  >:(

I've always had good success with eBay. Too bad about the set in Germany. I have had them transported here to Denmark a few times without problems. It's not cheap, but not too bad either.

Good luck!

Well, i bought them - could not risk loosing them. Seems i have found a company that can pick them up and bring them hope for a very fair price. With this bundle i got 2 front seats and 3 back seats (all Initiale) for 350 euros + shipping. So it seems i actually have one spare back seat then ;D

So, now i have seats (hopefully) but i have a cat for free if anyone is interested ::)

Maybe a good idea to take the cats car keys away from it. I too have free cat if anyone wants one, but am not sure I will be allowed to post it from the UK!

I had the rear door open for 20 minutes, and forgot to check the car for cats. The damn cat is so social and comfy im sure it felt the Espace was a brilliant house at the time and made it self pretty invisible. Found it next afternoon :P. Luckily it was only one rear seat destroyed, rest is all ok.

Anyone know of any motion/pet/movement alarm to put inside car i am interested! If not, a shotgun will do the trick.
Dont need this to happen again.

This is what happends to beautiful Initiale seats if you dont check your car for cats every night - some expencive leather samples and a few spare mechanical parts! The main frame and Alcantara seat cusion is garbage.
its a good thing the cat was nut-cutted (  ;D )so it is no smell in the car.

The good part is that i now got my finger out and got complete 7 seats of this, and the seat that was destroyed was the one that already had some leather damage on it.
I can confirm that it is real thick and solid leather, so no worries :)

Good news is that the seller reports already to have contact with the company i hired to transport the seat bundle i bought. They are packed nicely on 2 pallets and soon on the road.
