Half leather ?
Thinking of swapping my cloth seats for 1/2 leather and I've seen a set in grey. My current seats are a kind of grey ( I think its called tricot grey )cloth and black leather seems pretty hard to come by
Just wondered what thoughts are on the half leather and whether grey will look ok against the black dash and door cards ? I could get the grey doorcards but think that might look even more odd Cheers

It's all down to personal taste but they can look good. I know of one member that recoloured some black leather seats to have grey inset panels (outer were left black as i recall, it was a while ago) as his original interior was grey, i'll ask him if he's still got the photos, might give you a better idea what to expect.

That actually makes me think the grey doorcards that go with the half leather seats would be ok with my black upper and lower dash
Thanks for that

You're welcome - when David was thinking of doing it, he had a very clear idea of what he wanted and explained it to me, i knew it would work well and encouraged him.
Hopefully you can visualise the half-leather seats - i'm not familiar with them but it's definitely food for thought!

They look smashing David. They are the "ruched" leather style (from a 960 mk2) rather than the "standard" leather seen in various models. I can see a lot of hard work has gone into that interior refurb. Door cards look superb as well because i) they're not wrinkled!! ii) that new inlay material works well |
