New Leather Retrim for Silver Grey E86

[Darkangelv2]

@Beanie, I got the idea from the pull rack at the gym, as thought those two colours complemented each other well.

It's a classic 'leather against metal' colour combo that's always looked great. I've got 2 of these chairs - you could go down the 'destroyed' leather route?

Definitely Nappa

Mine was done in "Bentley Grade" Nappa (whatever that means). Its lovely stuff and feels far more luxurious than the standard grained leather.

Same. The quality is much nicer and luxurious.

In my humble opinion, it's the perfect blend of colours. The tan leather is a really nice matt finish, which gives it a really nice luxury feel against the silver grey!

Now they do look good, also look to be in great condition.

Thanks, they really suit the Silver Grey, and luckily they're in excellent condition!
To me it really gives the car a classic retro feel.

Hey Folks,

Have decided to the get my tired OE Ivory White Sport seats and door cards retrimmed on my Silver Grey E86.

Went to see EDGE Automotive in Rugby today but made the mistake of looking at many colour samples.

I like the tan's and caramel shades but keen to get ideas off others, something within this colour range and that goes well with Silver Grey and my brushed silver interior trim.

Any pics of would be very helpful.

Oh and cost wise I'm looking at £1450, I know, big investment on a car of this age, but its gonna be a keeper and got a buyer lined up for my Corrado Vr6.

Interested in how you get on. I’ve got the New England leather option (so better leather, full door cards and sun visors!) but looking at retrimming dash, gear gator, steering wheel etc. Rugby would be near me.

I’d vote for a tan leather for your car. Think it would look great.

I didn't think I'd like Caramel in an E86, but after seeing the photos I think it looks great.

Thanks for posting! Looks fantastic and very classy. Especially with the piano black trim

That caramel looks fantastic, it's the perfect colour against piano black trim in my opinion. Once upon a time I had a black Alfa GTV with tan leather, probably the nicest looking car I've had until it caught fire.

Finally Mr Tidy you're now a convert, you've come over to the 'Tan Side'!
