It will be interesting to see how good the trim fits around the outer edge of the memory switch. I believe it will look better with the memory switch removed and replaced after the trim is fitted, but that is just me, . Removal of the valance panel is real easy, I will compile a detailed how to, it takes no longer than 5 mins and is only performed once, so is worth the little time it takes. Maybe simon will make both oval and oblong memory switch hole options available for those who would rather remove the mwmory switch, I know I would. Because the motor operation switches fit over the walnut trim, it may look odd if it fits around the memory switch MO and orsiz fer corsiz.

the samples of the seat side with the memory cut out are on their way to me so we will soon find out if they will look good without having to remove the sides to fit

I have compiled a valance cover 'how to' that may find its way into the how to forum.

Nice one Steve, that will prove useful for members once the memory seat sides are available

A pic of the valance trim with a rectangular hole for the memory switch.


A zoom in of the switch fitted on top of the walnut trim.


Pic of the trim with a hole cut to the shape of the switch allowing trim fitting without removing the seat valance cover will follow.

Nice bit of work .
Perhaps a nice mod could put this into the "how-to / car interiors " ?

Members can now order the walnut seat sides with memory option from Simon,(details in post 1 of this thread ) he will be supplying the one with the oblong hole so you will have to remove the actual seat side to fit it, but is only a 5/10 minute job and Steve has done an excellent how to as below

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...644#post865644

Simon is also doing a template which goes around the memory switch to avoid having to remove the seat side if you wish, and both options are available, so let him kow which one you want when ordering, he will be up dating his schematic asap and i will add it to post 1
