E30 Zone

My 316i.. now with added leeaaatherr

The old drivers seat was shagged, so i decided id go for some leather all round


Collected the leather from "toitlikeatiger" (top bloke ) up in falkirk yesterday morning...



Stripped out ready to be given the treatment


After alot of swearing, and sweat, the rear seats are in place, with headrests aswell (never had them on the old ones..)



Finally, after a bit of adjusting, the front seats are in aswell




Decided to keep my old doorcards in as ive always felt they were pretty cool, and a good match for the seats.

Next up, new steering wheel, handbrake gaiter and cd player.

Im well chuffed, makes the car look, and feel immense

Whats the consensus on the zone then?

Nice one Coldo, they are 100 times better

'moan the easy wipe seats

nice one give's a visit next time your passing and the cars there for a look.
ps your old ones weren't that bad

Wipe clean seats, trust you to think of that davy boy

Stevo, i know, the other ones werent too bad in general, but the shite seat covers were annoying me so i thought id push the boat out, and go pimp

Aye, ill come round sometime and let you have a look You got your dechroming done yet? that could be next on the list for mine i rekon!

not yet not really had the time to look at the car recently but i'll get round to it. gonnae re-do the kidney grill properly too

Looks so much better!

Lookn good mate, defo look much better... my seats were in a similar condition to your old ones when i bought the car hence the retrim i done

Coldo. How much 'd they cost?

Ԛ£135

Which, id say was very reasonable, considering a retrim would cost Ԛ£300 (ish?)

There is a few wee scuff marks etc... but they are more or less, as new.

they look sweet mate
heres mine cost same by time i collected them but well worth it makes all the difference

good one mate, always feels good to do it yourself.

They look loads better. By the way whats in the centre consol of your car next to the handbrake lever, switches? I just have a place to put stuff there!

I want something like that!

The tape holders are 100% nasty!

Anyone know where i can get something to replace them?
Also, is there anything available to replace the ashtrays? im a non smoker.. and i could do with a place to store some stuff rather than an ashtray

Very nice geezer, they look good in the motor. Hope you are happy with your purchase.

very nice dude

and good price too

Next on your list - LSD

Looking very bling mate

Must say, you have done nothing but improve that car since you got it

keep it up!

I believe there was an option to have the ashtrays replaced with something you could put change etc in.
