Classic MX5 Seat Redesigns for E-Type & TR6 Style | Talkin’ Trim w/ J‑Skin

Описание: 🚘 In this Talkin’ Trim w/ J‑Skin episode, Jonathon Skinner showcases two fully trimmed MX5 (Mazda Miata) front seats — redesigned to reflect the classic styling of the Jaguar E-Type Series 1 and Triumph TR6.

🎯 Why this matters:
Classic car enthusiasts often retrofit Mazda MX5 seats into their Triumphs, Healeys, Jaguars, and MGs for better comfort, support, and availability. But the modern cloth look can clash with period interiors.

We’re changing that — offering tailored retrims that echo the styling of the cars they’re going into.

👀 This video features:
🔴 Cherry Red Grained Leatherfaced Seat (E-Type Series 1–style)
🔵 Dark Blue Full Leather Seat (TR6–style with horizontal pleats)
💈 Vertical and horizontal pleat panel options
🪡 Piped seams, cross seams, pleated inserts, Moquette backs
📐 Material spec options: Vinyl, Leatherfaced, Full Leather
🧶 Embossed pleat options available for Vinyl and Leather upgrades
🛠️ Seat frame modifications & trimming considerations explained

🪑 These kits fit the early stalk-headrest MX5 seats (Mk1/Mk2) — also referred to as Miata seats in the US. We’re developing multiple classic-inspired styles to match your car’s era and spec.

⚠️ These seats are not easy to trim — even for professionals. We recommend sending us your frames for trimming, or we can source seats for you. DIY fitment is possible but best suited to experienced trimmers.
