No plans for a leather interior???

[Alex]

No plans for a leather interior???

yes

either grey or black

i thought cream might look good or red leather with red door cards etc but not sure

red might be a bit in your face and cream might clash with the white paintwork.

[GrindCulture]

White and cream?

[aceraf]

Red leather is suited for Black/blue & SILVER cars only i think.... for a white car, black leather would be best me thinks.

You may want to track the progress of these...

I don't think they'll go up too much in the current climate, so you could bag yourself a bargain (untill you upgrade to sports leather fronts)

[Ollie_bwoii]

Red would be nice but cream would be awful!

[Ollie_bwoii]

NICE!

[Alex]

white with cream i kinda like it

[Ollie_bwoii]

Not bad but red definately better!

[blackE30indy]

alex i think the red leathers would soot yours quite well,black also looks cool
INDY

[adit]

White and cream?

i'm sure cream/beige/natural leather was an option on white cars... definitely has to be black or red/oxblood tho imo. i'm buying another e30 soon with black and oxblood combination seats/door cards. it looks original but...nice

[djk]

Red leather ftw , doesn't come cheap mind!

Leather Dye

[Alex]

anyone have any idea how much it costs to recover the seats rather than buy a used set.I would want them done properly with the correct stiching and want them to look like the leather seats in e30 sales brochures, I.E no council seat recovering

[aceraf]

If you go by the awesome example here...

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=114712

£1600

Where as leather dye on a decent interior to start with will probably cost you £100 max

[Alex]

i wouldnt do door cards, IMO they look awful i would use the vinal door cards that the e30s with leathers came with

surely you could get it done less than that, what if i did the front two seats only and baught a used rear one and re dyed it

[aceraf]

You're still looking at probably about £400+ for just the front seats if you want them done properly.

sounds better, still expensive but i have no intention of ever selling the car even if i want something more powerfull i will just get an m50 shot in there

[aceraf]

What about when it rots away?

[Alex]

What about when it rots away?

weld more metal in, if i keep on top of it i should be ok, the rust just starting on lower rear arches will get done next year

[aceraf]

It's always deeper than you can see. Sort rust before anything else or it'll spread like cancer.

[Alex]

yer need to sort out the rear towing eye i bet that speads back a fair way looks like nothing from the outside

[Jon_Bmw]

It will turn out to be a large hole in the '325 battery tray.' The big box section will almost guarenteed have a large hole in it once you poke around with a screw driver.

[Alex]

would it cost much to put rite by a body shop

white with cream leather

[Ollie_bwoii]

I always prefered the crome e24 to the highline! That one looks very borin in that colour combination IMO! Red leather would really set it of!

[Alex]

blue leather
