Seat and Dash Make over

[Woody]

Looking great Richard

Not a bad way to spend your pocket money!

Looking good! How much is it to get the seats re-leathered. Are the headrests missing the M logo tho?

He said £700 above.

More than I expected to be honest, I would have "guessed" about £350 or so.

I actually rang two other places and was quoted £900 and and huge £1200! So I thought £700 wasn't too bad - although I have never done this before

What has everyone else paid for seats to be retrimed?

 

[Leesfarm07]

Looks very nice. They've done a cracking job with that re-trimming. I like the pile of tools in the footwell

I was contemplating this but had visions of off centers logos!

But yes, would have been a nice touch

 

[ranski]

if not happy you could try doing a "guiseley" & have the parts trimmed in leather ?

Available to view in Holmfirth Sunday lunchtime if you fancy a trip out and a pub lunch

Ps good job on the seats!

Hmm yes! That would be a nice touch

How did you find fitting them back on? Do they protrude?

PS Sunday / tempted, would be a nice drive through the Buxton way

 

[ranski]

Did you keep the original black covers, might be worth something to somebody.

<slaps forehead> didn't think of that

 

[aquazi]

Wow,love it!

Totally transforms the inside.

If the 3m peels in summer maybe a custom leather dash, black and cream would looks awesome!

 

[ZermattV]

Looking good - some work gone into that car ranski

 

[ben g]

looks fantastic, ranski.

only thing i would advise on is watching the carbon fibre vinyl as it likes to peel away in hot weather. not a problem right now though :lol:

 

[slick]

That looks damned good Ranski.... I do like the wood dash too thou :?

 

[markeg]

Love that interior


Tapatalking...

Sorry read it as M seats... assumed M not M sport

The M seats are identical apart from the logo, there are no M sport Z4's

I think it should be ok as I wrapped it over and around the edges so that it should hold fine

Not quite, softer leather (Nappa) is used on true ///M seats

Just watching an old episode of 'Wheeler Dealers' with a Porsche S Boxster

What grabbed my attention was not the cost of the car (1k!!!) but they had the seats re-leathered at the same place as I had mine done - small world

 

[Danderton]

Retrim looks a good job, although I personally prefer a black interior for looks and cleanliness.

Can't stand that guy on wheeler dealers! His over enthusiastic presenting annoys the hell out of me.

Plus his profit calculations never include labour time of Ed the professional mechanic. I'd understand it showed an unskilled person doing the work.

Nice job on the seats, that's one of the mods I want to do down the line when I get the cash. Looks top notch
