need re-trim ideas

got the leather man coming over tonight to price my car up but not sure what i want done i fancy keeping it black with orange stiching and piping as i think too much orange will look over the top..

so anyone got pics of there own cars interior?? so i can steal ideas:search:

cheers guys

Always liked the black/orange idea.

Can't help with the interior myself, just standard leather seats in mine. If you wouldn't mind, can you tell me who is doing yours and roughly how much you're looking at for yours?

I'm just shopping around myself at the minute, not sure who to go to.

Cheers!

Orange alcantara centres, off white leather sides, black stitching. I think that could work very well with an Orange colour car

yeah alcantara centres would look cool but is it too much??? a company called stitched-up are doing it they do all my work.. im having front and rear seats and both door cards and its around the £1000.00

Too much as it OTT or too much as in cost?

Reminds me of the BM's that have the red nappa with black interior think it looks great

With regards to the re-trim idea, i would go with orange centres and then black on the bolsters etc or if you dont want to go too lary then maybe go with all black, with a orange stitching or piping and have the "Supra" logo embossed on in orange, unless you have Recaro's then keep the Recaro logo

quite like the look of that... very nice, very different probly benefit from a black carpet

i disagree with the supra logo embossed on the seat... think its a bit to 'chav' but thats just my opinion!!

I think orange stitching against black leather would be the better option or maybe so suede instead??

nice, very nice

Thanks guys!! I had it done in Livingston at Transcal, they manufacture the leather interiors for Aston martin, Jaguar etc. For the front, rear and arm rests it was £1280 so around the same as what you have been quoted mitchell.

m_life, the carpets have been dyed black now like in the third pic, the first two were taken just after the retrim.

I like the plan of black leather with orange stitching too, if it was me thats the route i would take, considering how eye catching the exterior of your car is then a nice subtle and classy interior would look great.

That is exactly what I want done in my car! Had the image in my head for ages, just never seen pics of it done

ah yeah... sort of didnt clock that 1

cheers guys, i think im going with all black leather, then dotted black leather centres and all stitched and piped in orange( piping done in alcartara)

Here are a few of my old car.

that looks wicked cj might have to copy that ha ha, not joking either.. are they the standard seats??

Yes they were. I think it would be safe to say that the car was fairly unique at the time

I went with the following from the G&B guys back in about 2005 I think ... still look just as good now as they did the day they were done.

My car is black (obviously), but I think a similar sort of shade would still compliment the orange quite nicely.

Cheers, J

nice j, all ideas look wicked i think its having the bottle to go cream or white, is cleaning a pain?? i dont use it much so i think ill be ok, i just hear jeans can rub onto the leather leaving marks

the racers look, love the recaros re-trimmed that was my first idea but cant get some cheap enough.

In all honesty, I don't think I have EVER given them a 'proper' clean! Just the odd wipe-over once a year maybe with a bit of leather cleaner .. but nothing more than that.

I guess they aren't as 'clean' looking nowadays as they are in that picture, but that's to be expected after 4 years of use. I have had no issues with marks on them or anything like that (I wear jeans everyday!), and they still look great I think.

Maybe I should give them a good clean though and see what happens!

Cheers, J
