    Need a favor for somone with a 318i cabrio

    I am making a rear seat kit for a customer with a cab with vertical stitching. I had a source but it fell through. I have never done one before and wanted to know if someone could count the number of vertical stitch lines on the center sections. For example the front has 3 rows double heat sealed. How many is on the rear?
    TIA,
    Kevin

    wait... arent rows horizontal? they make vertical rear seats in the vert? But the standard vert would have three in the back rest and four on the bottom seat. standard 2 and 4 door veritcal have 4 on each side.

      Yeah they the 318 cabs I have seen have vertical stitching, kind of looks weird. I am sure I can come up with the spacing. I just wanted a good pic

        no kidding... I've never seen it before, hit me up some pics when its done. I really dislike the vertical stictchings in general I'm always privey to the horizontal, it just seem more comfortable I guess.

          I do like horizontal better but I was happy the way my new stitch turned out on the vertical.

                  I agree, I do not like the vertical stitching in the verts. Did you ever get any pics of your interior you did in your cabrio? would love to see some. Lair sounds good.

                    I will in a week I will have photos. I've getting ready to go back to school in two weeks to get my Masters degree at Johns Hopkins... so I've been super busy. With the many mishaps I had tried to use color matching along with my corbeau fabric... and it turned out quite the disaster in the mismatching. So I'm going all Vinyl and Corbeau sport fabric with foam backing. Just finishing up the door cards etc. I will take picture and send them to you when I get it done.
