    Need good resolution interior fabric cloth photos.

    I need flat pics of all interior fabrics with patterns (LTW, rain, hurricane, plaids, etc) taken at high resolution. The area can be around the size of the top of the back center part of the seat (square). I need to be able to grab a complete pattern repeat. Also, a close up so I can see the colors and density of thread (basically 2 good pics per patter). I do have the E30 M already. You can email it to me if you need: sigmember@aol.com .

    Please and thank yous...

    Here's a low reso version of what I need.

    Make a collection of all interior fabrics. There are a lot of them (some never seen before), but there isn't a collection. Even if they're not M specific, I like to collect these patterns.

    WOW! That's outstanding MarketMaster. I've never heard of Boa boa either? Could I trouble you to take photos with infinite focus and try to shoot it as flat as possible? Also, can you grab a full repeat of the boa boa pattern? To explain it better, there looks like there's a Square shaped letter "G." I need to capture enough of the pattern to capture 4 of those "G's" in 1 image. Awesome nonetheless.

    Here's an example of a full repeat. See how the seat is captured 4 times.

    Thanks!!!

    Did any of you see an all black/grey/silver hurricane fabric? I think it was in a LTW, or an individual? Can't remember.

    Okay, I think I got how you want them. Just as a disclosure, you are welcome to use my work but if you use it for monetary gain, I of course want to be compensated

    Check german ebay. You can find some here and there. Ask them to remove from foam and ship just fabric. It saves a lot of money.

    Just wanted to add Relicate to the list here. Josh is great and is the go-to for many looking to source hard-to-find automotive fabrics.

    Oh man do I wish there was a really good custom upholstery shop near me... Maybe I can ship the interior to Justin (next to Kindig it) I'd bet that Gray M rain and gray Alcantara would look pretty sweet...
    No matter where you go, there you are...

    Blue Boa Boa is pretty popular in Europe. You would be able to get a used set in good condition. I have seen some new red Boa Boa fabric online, but it was about 2 years ago, not sure if you could still get it now.
