wide Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 hi, i'm thinking of getting a re-trim of my black leather gt seats & was wondering, if you could do them in any colour combination what colour would you do, oh & ive got a kuro black zed. i was thinking black quilted seat with light grey or white sides to match the interior, i know its a bit boring but it would be aesthetically pleasing. let me know your ideas. thanks matt Quote
DoogyRev Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Purple. +1 might look good Speak to SMD as he was thinking of getting his done.... Group Buy... you never know Quote
spursmaddave Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Well as my car is Azure I think red would look gash.... anyway I'm off to see someone tomorrow morning about this very thing With a black car pretty much anything will look good, personally I wpuld avoid grey some white stitching or piping would look good... Why not just buy Cragus' Bride seats? They would certainly look the part Quote
Cragus Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Well as my car is Azure I think red would look gash.... anyway I'm off to see someone tomorrow morning about this very thing With a black car pretty much anything will look good, personally I wpuld avoid grey some white stitching or piping would look good... Why not just buy Cragus' Bride seats? They would certainly look the part Cheers mate - but I sold them with the car. As soon as the private plate is off the gentleman is coming to pick it up I have a set of leather seats that I bought incase though if you want to experiment? Quote
Leeroy Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Black with red piping. Bit too similar to standard seats though if you're paying for a re-trim. Here's a red on blue combo SMD, I agree it looks a bit garish.... Fancy some yellow in your life? Quote
Ebized Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Always thought this retrim was the dogs whatsits viewtopic.php?f=53&t=7011&hilit=seats I know yours is not Sunset but the idea might help? Quote

Funny you should mention that particular retrim as I love it. Understated and very well done and mine will almost certainly be quite similar Quote

Fair play mate, not been on for a couple of days and missed that I knew it wouldn't hang about Quote
4RE Leather Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Well as my car is Azure Dip has banned you from the thursday Mothercare club!! Until you get a black wrap!!! Quote
4RE Leather Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 It can be white with purple spots. Anything but Azure lol. Funny you would think a Spurs fanatic would not want a Chelsea blus car:) Quote
wide Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 hi all, ive been thinking about black leather with white or silver piping & the same colour used for the thread on the quilted centre section. my car is kuro black & i think it would work really well with the rest of the interior. Quote
4RE Leather Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Are you taking it to prestige car in leicester? I did think about it but £1200 for the seats and £2500 for the dash and center console was a bit to much for me. Quote
DannyBoy Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Are you taking it to prestige car in leicester? I did think about it but £1200 for the seats and £2500 for the dash and center console was a bit to much for me. Sorry, but £3700!!!!!! does that come with complementary reach-around? Had a quote from Trim-star for a full seats and dash trim in nappa leather for £1900. And i've seen the quality of their work and it's top-notch. DB Quote
wide Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 no its a company called transcal & once mine is finished & fitted they may run a group buy & use mine as a show piece Quote
4RE Leather Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Sounds good to me. This is prestige in leicester and the quality looks top notch! http://www.meduza.co.uk/automotive-leather/ Quote
R35LEE Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Ye that's Riks place (of badly fitting bodykit fame) and they outfarm their trimming work Quote
wide Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 looks good, im liking the quilting and removal of the ball catcher on the driver side seat, ive been toying with removing it too, as i think it looks like theres too much going on with it there & it detracts from the classy look of the re-trim. the other option is to have one on both but like i said i think it looks too crowded. my idea is black leather with silver or white piping and a slightly lighter black or dark grey leather centre section which is quilted with white or greg stitching to match the piping from base to headrest. but not inc the headrest. its gonna be the dogs danglers!

spursmaddave Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I went to a local place at the weekend... 2 x front seats and headrests recovered ex black leather with perforated black leather centre panels and piped with vivid blue leather.......................................£985.00 + vat 2 x front door panels completely covered ex black leather piped as above.........................................£385.00 + vat 2 x gaiters ex black leather with blue saddle stitching..........................£90.00 + vat So £1750 for 2 seats, 2 door cards & gaiters, bit too rich for me I am just going to get a set of these instead Quote
