JamieP Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Im thinking about spicing up the interior a little, Ive given up on the hks drag racing idea now and have been putting a lot of time in getting the car mint once again, the interior is the last step. Im thinking maybe a dark red for the seats, not sure though. Ive been looking at loads of seats and cant find anything i really like so will most likely stick with the buckets unless you show me anything i really like, has to be a race style seat, Id be grateful to see any pictures of interiors you like the look of to give me some ideas. Cheers Jamie. Edited January 4, 2012 by JamieP (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Those Audi seats ibrar has are tasty. Didn't you just pull out your sound deadening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Beard man Marc's red retrimmed seats look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 They are nice, id like to try them RS4 seats out. I did take out the dynamatt yes, Im not running a bass box anymore so have no need for it. Yeah marc's car gave me the red idea Josh, very nice it is.

Sted Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Send Steve Marsh a pm and ask him for some pics of his interior, he's just had his re trimmed in red leather very similar to the BMW interiors and it looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If you need inspiration, look through some of the Supercars like the Gallardo, Aston Martin etc. The RS4 seats are lovely, imi has a very nice pair of seats in his car, can't remember what they were but the back was all carbon, looked Felt nice to sit in too.

caseys Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Cobra Misano seats with alcantara are good. They hold you very well I found and have an inflatable/adjustable lumbar F430 seats full leather are very nice too, saw some at my local breakers a while ago but hard to come by.

JamieP Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I looked though aston and lambo pics on google images, could not find anything that i really liked though tbh. F430 seats are a bit small for me, should have said im 6ft 5" and 18 stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Matt has just fitted the race seats from a clio v6 sport (might have been the new megane sport) into his and they are amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the new Megane sport seats at all. The previous model has an lovely set of recaros in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey. Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Audi recaros are great seats as are the corsa vxr ones, both a lot alike tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The best new -ish seats I've seen are Porsche 911 GT2 reclining buckets, which look fantastic. Not sure what sort of widths they are though. I reckon BMW Champagne leather would look fantastic in a black Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx Abz - they cost close to 2K however money well spent. Cobra Misano's - two tone leather. very good seats - only gripe is that they are a bit cumbersome to recline (need to rotate the adjuster) - should have had a lever like the stock seats.

Kirk Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I quite like the S5 seats myself. There is a full interior on ebay at the minute. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aud-S5-A5-8F-Cabrio-leather-sport-seats-bi-color-interior-right-hand-drive-cars-/270864435237?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f10c74825#ht_1477wt_1270 Edited January 4, 2012 by Kirk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 They look a bit chunky Martin and no holes for my harnesses either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 These look nice, bit of a drive though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Recaro-Leather-Seats-Brand-New-No-Reserve-/120838179412?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c22844a54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I love the XKR-S seats and they do come in red I've sat in some http://www.globalcardealers.com/autoblog/wp-content/gallery/2012-jaguar-xkr-s/2012-jaguar-xkr-s-seats.jpg Edited January 4, 2012 by Littler (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ah yes forgot about that still the colour is nice. Those sportsters are a bit of a bargain although I doubt the price will stay that way for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Here's a better picture for the red, they aren't completely red but they look good http://assets.config.jaguar.com/v217ks/jag/cs/jscrl02b/int_cs_jscrl02b_a-rs-coupe_a-xkrs7_a-rsalum-976.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Was Cowboys interior not a dark red colour (or similar)? In the TT V8, I remember the interior being nice but I don't really remember any particular details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Alcantara dash like im having done.. when he pulls his finger out. I think going along the lines of a lambo, they are SOOO hot inside and classy with alcantera and stitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Trying to find a picture of Ibrars old black car, iirc that was done nicely. Was Cowboys interior not a dark red colour (or similar)? In the TT V8, I remember the interior being nice but I don't really remember any particular details. Yeah i think it was, dark red can work well in a black car. Alcantara dash like im having done.. when he pulls his finger out. I think going along the lines of a lambo, they are SOOO hot inside and classy with alcantera and stitch Ive never seen a supra dash done well, they are always covered in stitch lines and look terrible to me, id just do the seats myself.
