I didn't take it that way, but thanks for being kind enough to explain.
I think I need to work a little harder with my next kit to make it a little more 'right' in this area. I get what you mean. Lived in but very cared for and presentable. My last 356 coupe was a little too much like sitting in a new car!
Right now, I'm redoing parts of my Atom build and as that has one rigid plastic bench seat (all be it with a bit sticking up in the middle) it probably won't be my first point to experiment with!
