this was a "last edition" option. came with a 3 spoke sport wheel, and a vinyl usually grey handbrake handle sack.

also a last edition option with the vinyl and sport steering wheel.

Is it blasphemous to attempt to recreate some of these fabrics with a printer? I know these patterns were not originally printed but I've got a new 60" printer that does awesome with fabric. I am not really interested in originality, more of an homage. I onl have some sample fabric right now but I am going to try and print some Aplina style prints tomorrow.

Here was a test piece from today for a customer. (Phone pic)

If you could reproduce Alpina Fabric that would be awesome. Keep us posted

Robert,
A very valuable piece of visual information!! Thanks very much for posting it. Rumor has it that by going thru the correct channels, there is still some OEM in the 0345 available. Perhaps The Artisan Kevin could chime in - or M-Tech cloth Eric?

I actually have a real fabric sample sitting on the desk of a very well known upholstery manufacturer. This ready to be produce but I lack the funds to get it done, buy more wallets and I can get this fabric made.

**No i am not posting another pointless thread with false promises I want this fabric to make wallets with and wouldn't mind making more to sell.

heres swatch of 100% OEM fabric that I sent

M-tech Blau in my car. I'll try to find some pics of the M-tech red and M-tech green and M-tech purple.

would look so good in a vert.

From the previous page... :

^ just did a bunch of reading about that material on german e30 sites. its NLA
SA 785 known as KLIMA-LEDER. it came on the last edition cabrios, and most of them came in macao blau and had a leather wrapped dash and middle counsel too.

[cncmastr]
