    "My new, old seats"

    Alright, so I talked about these seats for like a year and finally got them done!
    Flame on, if you must., but I think they came out pretty good for a mixed design of the Vader, 335i and convertible seats.

    Let me know what you think?

      They look good man. However, I don't see any vader or any other style seat in them, just different stitching.

      Did you do it yourself?

        The stitching in the middle resembles the vaders and the stitching on the sides of the bolsters resembles the new 335 seat stitching and the pieces tha follow towards the upper part of the backrest are copied from the convertible.

        I did the design of the new stitching, but all the praises go to my older brother who took 2 weeks total to finish the seats. However I had to get my hands dirty every now and then to justify the cost of the labor. I wasn't expecting free work but since my birthday is around the corner he said, early birthday present.

        Total cost is about $1500-1600 bucks give or take for the leather costs., all he wants in return is more business for e30 sports seats, he had fun making them......

                    would he be interested in re-stitching my seats? I have vinyl conv style seats but it has piping. I want to get rid of the piping and stitch it up like the m3. LMK

                      I'm missing the headrest but I'll get a picture sometime tomorrow with them on.











                      Oh yeah, I almost forgot the rear seat is going to be redone as well and the backrest will have the middle fold down armrest and the headrest in the back to complete the interior.
