how do e30s look with aftermarket seats?

[chaz_316]

ive been looking for a good quality sports inerior for my car for some time now and searching on here and on flebay.
There mostly around the 500-600 pound region, i get that ok yer there getting few a far between and there original but i think there over priced in my opinion, after all its just 4 seats and sometimes some door cards (i know no all of you ill agree)

so i was thinking what do e30s look like with different seat combos??? wether they be e36,e46 interiors or aftermarket suff like corbeau ect

ive got a 316 lux (i promise you its not a council turd, but its all i can insure) after some reading on the zone ive found the lux has the best type of carpet to dye. The plan is to dye it back and get the head lining done black aswell.

im not aftr some big sparco seats that have sparco written all over them, i wanr something that suits the car

heres the car

what you should get is a grey check cloth 318is sports interior, nice seats with door cards etc will cost ya £150-250 odd, i think adit has one i saw when i was round the other day, would look nice with the red car

[chaz_316]

They are nice verde i must admit but there a bit full on for me, I was thinking more along the lines of some recliners as I want to be able to use all the seats.
You got any pics Danthe????? And how much???

[chaz_316]

Ive looked into them a bit polsta but not a hole lot, do they hold you well????

I want something to support me better then what I have

[polsta]

yes great seats, lots of ajustments can be made for a variety of driving positions and feels, same cloth as the m3 had, and same as the other e30 sport seats, great seats , although you do have beige carpets is the only downfall, you could easily source a grey is carpet too, would transform your interior

would be like this with the carpet and door cards

[chaz_316]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm if Im gonna be honest I just looked at a set on ebay and I dont really
like the patern on them (i know im being picky) thanks for the advice tho polsta, I wonder how much it would cost o ge a worn set reupholstered?

How hard isit to convert the e30 seat mounts onto the aftermarket stuff??

[chaz_316]

mannnnnnn lol
now ive seen them in a car I think they look good

Yeah i appologise man it was only til i posted and re-read that i realised you after a more full and proper interior!
Id love the leather sports interior.

[polsta]

horses for courses, you either like that sort of pattern or not, its old school 80s looking,looks great in the car, id personly much rather a nice set like that over a well worn knackered black leather interior for double the price

heres a nice shot in an m3

[chaz_316]

just re read your post polsta, ive got the grey carpets and those door cars in mine now, they do look smart in that above pic

I wonder if there is anyone on here who is good with photoshop and could blacken up the carpets in polstas photo for me

no need to appologis verde , I really dont know where I want to go with the interior so all ideas are welcome

[chaz_316]

and yer I agree about the these over worn out leathers

[verde]

Daam thats a nice interior. My interior is rough as goose guts. Need to fix it

[BATTS91]

mines the same as that being a 318is on books best interior in my opinion too , e30 seats are the best pull one lever and your laying down :p , perfect for those late nits in a dark carpark !!

[chaz_316]

what are you and LJ doingithese dark car parks then batts

haha yeah I wont be able to do that with my omps. U see the vid I put up on fb when I found out how reclined they go? Ultimate ballaz drivin position

[mb15]

Black carpets = Bored at work!!

[shanehaward]

ive been thinking about gettin some second hand recaros ( proper fixed non adjustable ones) and getting the centre and back retrimmed using the materieal from my standard e30 seats so that they match the rears but keep the black on the bolsters and keep the white recaro stitching for my 4 door, think it will look the bollox

They are a lighter check IS Trim, not the same as Polsta posted above but same pattern.

Yeah it was sunny that day, believe it or not

[polsta]

yes there are the lighter and darker, the lighter have the beige/creamy vinyl on the sides of the seats and door cards and a lighter check

and theeres a darker grey check with black vinyl/leather on the seats and door cards, which could look better with a red/black theme car

Correct, but the lighter check is grey vinyl rather beige/cream. I think there were some convertibles that had a cream check but I could be wrong?

Either way, I like the IS trim, or Anthracite like DanThe is selling, Cloth FTW

[polsta]

i love the anthracite too , i wonder sometimes how nice it would look in my silver tech 1,although i love the houndstooth and think that has a bit more old skool retro look,just, but in a facelift car the dark is interior looks super
