Very nice mate :D - was it done locally???

looks very nice mate.

yeah, i'm lucky a mate works for the best upholsterer in the area, i got the leather off ebay (£150 for 2 8'x6' hides) and gave him £200 for his time, i think its a fair price... i just gave him the old seats and he brought me these back lol.. they aint bolted in yet tho as they'll be out again soon to sort the install out..

They look very nice Tony :cool: , and that reminds me, I must get around to haveing my interior panels re-trimmed again ;) :D

yeah i'm not 100% sure i'll keep the panels red, may go black with those to, but we'll see, plenty of time to sort that later... the car feels so much more executive then the skyline.. lol..

yeah i'm not 100% sure i'll keep the panels red, may go black with those to, but we'll see, plenty of time to sort that later... the car feels so much more executive then the skyline.. lol..

I re-trimmed my panels in black, seemed like a good idea at the time, but now with the black leather seats it's all black!! Too much. So I'm going for dark red leather on the panels this time, just somthing to break it up a bit, but keeping in with the colour scheme of the car, if you see what I mean.

those seats are georgeous Tony :bow:

cheers mate, i'm very lucky in that this is not my daily driver, wish i'd thought of doing this before to be honest..

Panels are a little much for me, but the seats do look very well done.

 

*note to self* must get interior retrimmed.

Yeah, I'd agree with this. If I ever do get around to retrimming my car, which I'd like to, I don't think I'd go pure black. All black inside on a black car and it all starts to get a bit gothic. I think the red panels look fantastic with the black seats so if I were you I'd keep 'em.

Keep the red m8, looks well smart!
