My 316i.. now with added leeaaatherr winkeye winkeye :cool:

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

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

Stripped out ready to be given the treatment
Image

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

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

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 :D

Whats the consensus on the zone then?

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.

Anyone know where i can get something to replace them?

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