I'm taking my seats to a local auto upholster and am looking for ideas to take with me of designs,colours patterns.
Please post pics of your seats so i can print off for ideas,my car is blue mica so looking to liven things up a bit on my drab interior, calmly of course as dont want anything too loud door card inserts will also be done as maybe two toned seats not sure please post up ideas.

cheers lee

There nice mate, but mine has the grey interior not black like yours so was probably swaying towards dark grey with lighter grey but thanks for the pictures, against blue mica cheers

Word of warning I had the same idea but my car is fitted with airbags in the seats. I take it the original seat have a tear factor built in to let the bag out when it deploys, but it must be possible with leather like SLs GB270s and RB320s. When my car was at stealers for last service there was a booklet of the company it did the leather for GB270 etc they must factor in weak stitching or somthing to let the bag out. Best use the as the mind boggles if bag deploys and has no wher to go By the way hers the link to the puka company http://www.transformleather.co.uk/
