Robert Linton · Nov 14th, 2007, 09:44 PM

It is not lounge leather.

I would like to take the time to make my first ever post in this exciting thread.

Robert Linton · Nov 14th, 2007, 11:04 PM

Although I am not sure it is exciting, here is a part of the trunk which, like the headliner, is done in Alcantara.

Please tell us what it is then!

We recovered everything, not just the seat faces, in black leather that is finer than lounge leather.

You've done a really good job - the interior looks classy and very nice, not gawdy or overdone either - well done!

KenL · Nov 15th, 2007, 08:23 PM

Looks great, but are you allowed to put anything in your boot now!!!

Robert Linton · Nov 15th, 2007, 09:50 PM

Yes, the Alcantara is quite strong and, additionally, there are leather bound carpets that can be put on top in the case of heavy items.

Looks beautiful. I see the headliner, boot and possibly floors are done in alcanterra... the center console and mirror have been wrapped in leather and the seats have been done as well.

What did you replace the trim piano black, pieces with? Wheel insets, too? Looks like woodgrain of some type, but with a black/gray finish? I'm very interested.

MartinSSZ · Nov 16th, 2007, 07:44 AM

What would be the approximate cost of having the 4 seats done as I'd love them in my R53 Works!

MartinSSZ · Nov 24th, 2007, 05:49 AM

The re-trim must be very expensive then

MartinSSZ · Nov 25th, 2007, 09:31 PM

Pleeeeeease someone put me out of my misery and let on where I can get my seats re-trimmed like this!

MartinSSZ · Nov 26th, 2007, 05:53 PM

Nevermind, I'll work it out for myself
