    New interior

    I've had sport seats for a while now but just sourced some black leather door cards and rear seat out of an 84 318. I've been looking them since it has the chrome trim to match the rest of my cars black/ chrome styling.







    Anybody know of the best leather treatment to help my front seats out?

    yerp :)

    reupholstering them looks like the only real solution.

    I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

      on the drivers bolsters yes. But the rest should clean up really nice with the leatherique dye and rejunivation kit.

        Leatherique will help the spots that aren't torn/cracked, but those places will need to be replaced.

        The efford to properly Leatherique something though, I'd save up and buy an upholestery kit from Creative Options.

          I'm not too worried about the crack, it is what it is. I would like to save it from more deterioration though and bring the richness back/ get rid of hair lines.

            That leatherique stuff seemd to work wonders

            Sport Seats FTW, I swapped in a torn up sport seat into my old 325


            anything is better than comfort seats.

              I'm probably going to try and dye the foam inside the rip to at least try and hide it.

                At the very least, you want to glue some linen to the back of the crack, get the seams to match and use some crack filler. Then you sand LIGHTLY AND CAREFULLY and use leatherique/colorplus/what have you dye. You can get a very good repair that way.

                    Good lord those are NOT my style!

                    Nick, the interior is looking much better dude! I'll keep my eye out for black sport seats that have nice bolsters for you!

                      Whats wrong with them? i like them, they were only 100 bucks each and recaro seats were a little out of my budget

                        haha sorry, don't take my opinion as an insult. They are very bright, and don't match your interior yet. Prove me wrong....

                          Those seats would look ridiculous in my black/chrome 325e daily driver. If you like them then its all good man.

                            They look like my Sparco Torino's and if they are somewhat the same....they are pretty comfy. I think I may pick me up a set! Where is the factory at?

                              hahaha ok, well im going to take the car in to a friend of mine sometime soon and hes gonna make it red/black everywhere. black suede dash, red suede back seats, door panels, headliner, and I think i'm just going to dye the carpet black. But my main concern for now is the s50 engine swap that i am still gathering parts for, so interior is not my primary concern
