nixy Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm definitely considering having the seats retrimmed in leather. Would you only go for black as the car interior is black. I love the tan leather but think it could look odd with only the seats done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However why not go for black leather with alacantra (Sp?) inserts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 yeah the tan is fab but presumably the doors etc are also that colour which mine wouldn't be so would it look funny with only the seats done in that colour and the rest of the interior black?

nixy Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 that looks fab - looks ok with the black - I'm pleasantly surprised! I wonder if you can change the steering wheel and knob easy enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzzz... Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Actually if you are really thinking about it... it could be worth trying to buy "letanks" trim seats cheaply (he put a post up a week or so ago) , and get them retrimmed while you wait for yours to arrive. Then remove the Japanese ones and sell them on ebay... and recover the cost from buying them from "letank". ( you could even sell yours for more money if they are in "brand new" condition.. which probably will. You'll have them ready for when the car arrives and you'll be ready to roll.!

nixy Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 The guy I'm importing from has a connection with a company that does them - he is sending me some pics of cars he's had done previously and will organise it to be done before I collect it for £400.

Zzzz... Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 for what is worth... black will keep cleaner and look better with time... and probably be more sale-able... but the alezan interior...has a bit of show off, and for me, and this is the sadest thing probably....this is what sells it to me... In the winter time, when it is dark and gloomy and horrible... i find that when I "plip" the car open and the interior, the cabin light illuminates the alezan interior... it is like a ray of sunshine and happiness... in a dark and gloomy world... very inviting... I am pretty sure if you don't have alezan interior you'll not understand what I am trying to explain.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinbad Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Go with Black leather and Alezan stitching. Best of both worlds. I don't think Alezan seats will look good with a tan car personally. Plus the Black leather will wear much better and be easier to keep clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 actually I do know what you're trying to say and it's very brave of you to be so in touch with your feminine side I really admire that! I think it would look fab with the sunset car as well - will have to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late for those I'm afraid ... I've just picked them up from him tonight... no idea what I'm going to do with them yet, or what colour scheme leather to have them trimed in either, but thinking of black buffalo grain leather with bright orange stitching ??

Sarnie Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 For what its worth, i love the alezan seats. Black seats are probably better on resale due to how unoffensive they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
