   I would paint the backs again mate. Gloss black looks way better than that horrid blue. A rattle can job with good prep would give a good finish and make them look much better. At least the material is ripped or got holes in it so thats a good point. Nice buy though - get them off ebay, pretty sure i've seen them on there the past few days .

   Yeah i might consider that buddy, Yeah no rips or holes so as long as they get a good clean they should look fine, First propper comment
