JamieP Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Im thinking black leather with suede centers on the front and back seats and door cards. Then got thinking about Wayneys old black car with the Tan leather and that looked good. What do you rekon? any pics would be good:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr lover Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 how hardwearing is suede/leather combo compared to full leather ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Here are mine i got not so long ago from gibson trimming. Very nice. Perfect match for my uk spec interior. I think they would look good with a black carpet aswell. a good contrast They are the UK spec colour leather with a swede centre and a dark blue Recaro logo to match my car. http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/4791/imgp0594ib8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Flocked? Like an Indian Restaurant wallpaper? :barf: Nah, I'd get the dash painted in that suede effect paint, like Terry's black VVTi was. Very smart looking and none of the problems of stretching/sagging that (can|are|may) be associated with material covered dashes. Mig can supply it, I think - last time I spoke to him anyway.

Ian R Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 CJ had his dash covered in leather in the orange beast looked superb *goes of to find pic* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 if i reember correctly is it coated with tiny hairlike fragments of stuff and then some kind of charge is applied which makes them stand on end and set in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Just had mine retrimmed by the guy Jurgen gets to do his, and I think they look amazing. Really suit the standard interior: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=82015&d=1221498293 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=82014&d=1221498293 Edited September 16, 2008 by j_jza80 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Cinnamon inserts with black bolsters: http://images.pistonheads.com/aimg/706/706510-8.jpg I prefer MikeB's dash to that flocking, which sometimes looks like cheap audio carpet you normaly see on subs in Halfords.

Jake Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Cinnamon inserts with black bolsters: http://images.pistonheads.com/aimg/706/706510-8.jpg You, sir, must be blind. That's hideous. Do you have no taste? (No offense meant, Gaz, obviously - this comment is for the thin-skinned) I prefer MikeB's dash to that flocking, which sometimes looks like cheap audio carpet you normaly see on subs in Halfords. Yes, I'm aware of the irony. Edited September 16, 2008 by Jake (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) I frickin love it Jake. Watch it, Mr Potty Mouth. The Missus did make a valid comment - the baby sick won't show up on that.Your missus must have a fifth sense for these sort of things Do you know how hard it is to find a good M3 that doesn't have a hideous coloured red/LSB/DysentryBeige leather interior? I'm not joking here - so many potentially great cars are ruined by a disgusting interior that I just couldn't live with. It's even worse with 996s though. I've almost given up window-shopping the PH classifieds. Almost. Edited September 16, 2008 by Jake (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
