My 325i Cab - updated red leather interor - finshed!! update

[goldysingh]

I know what you mean, it ends up looking like a really good quality seat cover, but paint will look factory. What do you think, is oxblood better in a white cab, or imola red??

I personally prefer the red I have, nice matt finish..

Oxblood is to dull imo

I know, am on the hunt for some carpet dye

ox blood interior goes bang on with the car

although the colour goldy has chosen is nice, i think oxblood would be more subtle, more of a genuine bmw leather look

[FMH]

wouldnt the dash look good red as well?

[goldysingh]

wouldnt the dash look good red as well?

NO!


I think the black dash is the best, otherwise it starts to look like a chaved up corsa

but now its red all around, and on the front, its black. looks a bit odd i think

Goldy, did you use a matt finish for your laquer?? I rang them up & gave me an option of 3 laquers.

Yes I used matt finish..

think it looks the best, can't be having shiney leather in an e30 would look more like a jap crap mobile!

[F17RAK]

Im loving the result mate, iv rang them up, they cant match the oxblood from the bmw colour code because i have to send them a sample. Mite just get the R5 like yours!

[davytombstone]

well impressed, top job.

[Baz666]

i now want to do mine that looks good, whats the name of the product you used.

[F17RAK]

Alrite goldy, iv brought the same colour, R5 red, iv painted the gear gaitor just to see how it looks, it is good but seems darker than yours. You sure yours is R5? I mean my leathers are black, suppose that makes a difference.

[ProperOldschool]

[snoops]

I'm going for imola red leather with black stitching to go into my black cab with either red centre consoles and black carpet with red mats or black centre console with red carpet and black mats, not decided yet

[F17RAK]

Well mine were grey so i suppose it might make a slight difference, my colour was RS RED not R5 red!

Get some pics up!

[goldysingh]

I might be getting hold of some motorsport doorcards, not sure what look to go for..

all red including door cards or black door cards with the back of the seats black and red seats??

Leave them black along with the seat backs.

[ImysE30]

Black door cards, i would go for red seat backs though

[goldysingh]

I think it will look better with black backs, will try both and see..

Watch this space, pics to follow in the next few days!

Prefer the all red, guess it wouldn't be hard to change back

I'm thinking of doing the same to mine, still thinking of a colour

Green car with cream or lotus white interior would be my choice...

[panesar_e30]

or even tan or safron with green piping

Lotus white is my preffered colour but reckon it'd get dirty too quick Would look nice though

Not a fan of piping if i'm honest

[Rickz]

Red or creame leather would go very nice in your motor Imsy.. =D

[ImysE30]

The black looks nice in it now but fancy a change, something that stands out a bit more

Hmmm, red and green

[Geeman]

The red interior colour change looks excellent. Just need to do the rear hood cover to match now!

[F17RAK]

Hi goldy i have uploaded a pic of my seats, the photo makes the seats look red. But the seats are actually claret colour, too deep & dark for me. Im changing them, iv chosen another red, got them to mix it for me. Busy again this weekend!

[b4gga83]

All red is how they came from factory - seat backs, horseshoe and carpet. The dash and centre console is black.

It may sound odd but it definitely works, I'll try and find some old pics of my cab.
