Ok So I have an S52 powered e30 touring in Lachsilber gray, gray carpet and door cards and a light gray headliner. I'm going to be recovering the seats and am trying to figure out how I want to have them pop.
Option 1 (Single tone)
- Bolsters & Headrest: Black Leather
- Insert: Perforated Black Leather Diamond stitched
- Stitch Color: Silver Gray
Option 2 (Two Tone)
- Bolsters & Headrest: Black Leather
- Insert: Perforated Silver Gray Leather Diamond stitched
- Stitch Color: Black
I'm going to do the diamond pattern just like this photo:E30 Seat Idea.jpg
So I initially started with option 1, but started thinking of how the stitching would get dirty over time and would end up looking grimy. So thats when option 2 was thought up. I really would like for the front thigh support to be black to match the side bolsters, but not sure Lseat can do that.
I'm using L seat because I've used them before and been very pleased, also they are giving me 50% off as they are going to use my tourings rear covers to make a template so they can add that to their catalog. That said I don't think the rear can be done in a two tone layout on a production level that Lseat is looking to make. I know I could go full custom with it but I don't want to spend 2000 on leather, so if I do choose the two tone option it'll likely only be for the front seats and the rears would be black with black stitching.
