Input required. I found this sports seats reupolstered in navy blue leather so they are virtualy new. How will the colour scheme work? I would probably have to go for black door cards. So please help. Lasur blue car, navy blue sport seats and black door cards. Also any ideas how much are they worth. Thanks

my thoughts are; dark cars should always have a light coloured interior. However, you could recolour yours black and then get matching door cards? :D

That looks like a decent retrim - blue door cards shouldn't be too hard to get.

I have a set of blue cards but they have fabric inserts and are Indigo - the correct blue for an E30.

I'd sell them on try and have them dyed / colour matched.

And how long before you realise the yellow lights and german flag are just an experiment and actually make the car look worse? :D

'bout 50 quid posted to Madrid I reckon winkeye

Seriously though, with blue sport interior being tricky to get hold of they must be worth at least as much as a "mint" black set. Problem will be how well they match indigo rear bench and door cards.

I like the car, would look even better on 15" BBS IMO,

regarding the seats, just hoy them onto the bay and invest in some nice matching cloth sport seats

:D

all-vinyl blue ones are very scarce actually Ratch, black ones are more readily obtainable.

The rear bench is not indigo, is how it came out in the photo, they are all navy blue, cut the story short i have bought them and they are a very dark blue. They are new never been fitted and a very good retrim and quality leather well pleased :D The old chap i bought them off wrote of his car before it had the chance to fit them and it paid £800 to have them done

Sorry for the confusion, I'd seen the photos on my phone and the rear bench hadn't loaded.... now on the PC I see what an arse I sounded.

If I had found them I wouldn't be letting them go, but if you decided to sell, let me know !

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
