    Guaging interest on GB for BMW Houndstoothc cloth.

    I have been locating some very cool BMW cloths that are NLA though BMW. I found a company in Germany that has some houndstooth materials but I have to buy what they have left in rolls. Cost would around $1,100-$1,200 (with half down deposits) front and rear with at least 5 people. I can get natur and blue. I can also get a plaid as shown. It might take a while to put it together. Samples below:

        Any idea on the cost of doing just door/quarter panel inserts front and rear in the natur?

          NICE. Interested in natur front/rear with inserts. Are the bolsters/sides in a solid with the main seat parts in houndstooth? Any level of customization available in the potential GB?

            I might be interested in the blue houndstooth as described above, with black bolsters. Thanks.

              Hi there, what a savior!

              My seat bolster just broke through today and I ended up rigging this up for now :(:( (see below). Are you looking to sell the cloth by the yard (my preferred), or as a seat kit? Is your 3rd option listed the same as my seat's pattern? I understand there are two shades of grey plaid. I believe I have the darker variant.

              Thanks!!!

                Interested in two things:

                1.) Always looking for additional anthracite houndstooth fabric (code 0211).
                2.) Looking for bolster material for these seats.

                  Thanks guy for your interest, at this time it would be kits and door inserts, or panels only.
                  Some have expressed interest in other colors but I can only get the colors shown as this is the only samples he has sent me. First thing I asked is what about anthracite houndstooth, no luck there. I will keep checking here to see if there is enough interest to make a worthwhile venture.

                    I completely understand and I knew I was fishing. But if you found these rolls, maybe you'll hear something about anthracite someday and remember us... But my other question was directed at the bolster material. I believe BMW used the same color bolsters on several different upholstery options. For instance, I think my anthracite houndstooth interior has the same bolster material as shown in post #7.

                      I am post #7. The bolster has a slight blue hue to it, and the fabric has diagonal hash patterns. Is that also the case for yours?

                          I would be interested in plaid if this group buy happens.

                            Still trying to get 5 people to say yes. If I can get at least 4 I will order all the cloth and make the deal happen. It would not be be till AUG though.
                            Cost for front and rear will be $1,200.00 + shipping.
