PIPING OR NO PIPING ???

[bootyman]

Right guys. I'm having my interior trimmed at the moment and i've gone for cream with black piping, but my mate said when he went round to the trimmers, he saw some seats that he'd just finished for a E30 with no piping and it looks proper pimp. I'm all confused now, so waht should i go for? Black piping or pimp no piping

[Demlotcrew]

french stich my man!

Andrew

[dips346]

told you before detail stiching looks wicked

[bootyman]

I'm not sure though Sometimes i love the interior with the stiching and other times i love the plain look

[Geeman]

No piping, no contrast stitching... just monotone colour dude...

Coloured piping is so yesterday... One single colour is the future... I've tasted it!

[Ziggy]

No piping, but don't do the doorcards like that blue car either!

[bootyman]

D car will be blue so i was thinking of blue double stiching or somethig along those lines ?

[nav786]

mate do no piping, it looks so much more smoother euro stylee.

I had same problem when he did mine as i wasnt sure if i wanted piping cos he showed me pics of it without but in the end i went for piping. mistake.

NO PIPING!!!!

[cliffybabe]

No Piping mate, it looks so much cleaner

[bootyman]

Nav i just rang him and he said he was going to ring me today to suggest no piping He said exactly what G has said that piping is so yesterday, so he's doing it with no piping now. It would also go so much better with the Euro look i'm going for like you said and it would not look like a clone of the Rieger either

I do like piping though

[lukeb]

No piping! as been said before it looks so much cleaner and smoother. you make me wanna get a cab and get the interior done now

[Geeman]

He said exactly what G has said that piping is so yesterday

Who's yer Daddy?

[steveoz32]

I'd have to go for no piping as well, looks much smoother.

[bootyman]

I love that white. Proper pimp, but you'd have to clean that everyday or it will soon look nice and dirty

[CaesarBob]

No piping and definitely should have gone for the Lotus white. Sod practicality!

[bootyman]

That whaite is proper pimp isn't it However i know how hard it is to keep the Rieger one looking clean and i really dont fancy trying to keep a white interior spotless

[Gouki]

homey you gonna let the pimp side down if you dont have a pimped interior!

[bootyman]

I dont mind going for a pimp interior as long as you pimps want to come round and clean it a couple of times a week?

[CaesarBob]

Dissappointing but i won't wanna have to come and buff your hide twice a week.

[bootyman]

THOUGHT THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU RECOSIDER

[CaesarBob]

It's true. I'm a lazy git really.

[nav786]

good thing you didnt go for white, its a headache.

youve seen mine and it took me 2-3 hours to clean whenever i did, and it still werent fully clean. You really have to have cream/white interior to understand the trouble it is.

[bootyman]

Dude you dont have to tell me mate. You've seen hum many cows went into the Rieger. Just imagine how long it takes me including the hardtop too

Well worth it though. I've had the Rieger interior for nearly 3 years now and it still looks neat

[Geeman]

Ben... what colour have you opted for anyway?

(please say something cool like dark red...)

[bootyman]

I really wanted the Calypso red, but no point in spending all that money and ending up with 2 red cars and both with cream interior so i've gone for a special paint that changes colour with the weather. I dont mean flip either. It's like heat sensitive and the whole car cjanges from one colour to another deending on the weather. There again i could have gone for a Seca blue from the E46. I'll leave you to guess

[Geeman]

Nooooo... I meant what colour interior...

So if someone put there hot grubby mints on your paintwork, it'll leave a different colour hand shaped patch?

The bonnet will be a different colour to the rest of the car due to the heat off the engine...

[bootyman]

Cream with no piping mate. I thought about silver grey, but it wasn't pimp enough so cream or white and i went for cream

You are right with the paint, but as soon as your engine cools it will be back to normal Not decided yet though. I quiet like the yellow of the E46 M3 as well

[Geeman]

Thought you were keeping all the mods reversible...? So no Sebring Grey then..?

[bootyman]

I did want to, but then i though "What the hell" Im doing something that would put a smile on my face. I dont intend to sell her for a while either and i think she'll look so nice i could sell her if i have to. If not i'll just brake the fcuker and sell her for parts

LOL that reminds me of those 'Global Hypercolour' t-shirts from the early 90's! i had some of those (the shame)!

[bootyman]

I best get my order in then

Ben
have you been chatting to alsa corp??

i have seen the paint you mention

and WOW

they have some fooking crazy effects paints

white to black to ???????

the limits seem endless with there paint

not cheap tho

[bootyman]

No i haven't D. My mate owns a paint company called Specialist paints and he was developing one a while back. He also had the chrome paint, but it's so bright you'll cause accidents in the summer and i'm sure PC Plod will have something to say about that too.

To be honest this will be an everyday car so to speak so i will be going for a standard flat colour as all these fancy paints are so soft, they wont stand up to everyday use and not cheap as you say either

[Gouki]

Hell no! I got enough problems tryna keep mine clean!

Can you have it go multicolour whenever it goes near a big carpark? I'm getting sick of looking for mine. I'm going to tie a glow-stick to the ariel ;)

(No, I'm not really)
