leather seats in my 9N

[sbp]

I've been photoshopping a lot lately(again ).. This time the interior will get an upgrade soon..(next couple of months).. I have already switched my confortline seats with the GT ones..
This is what I came up with so far.. tell me honestly what you think. I'm still quite unsure as to what I'll do..



the grey part is speckled a bit on purpose.. , I want it in alcantara,
a bit like on this photo:




so? what's your opinion? cool or not cool? other ideas then?

Didn't AMG have silver leather inserts?

I don't know if it would work - there's a risk that the silver (if that's what you intended with the 'shop) looks cheap (which it's not).

I saw an A6 a while back, and even though it may not work given your paint (silver), it was well nice - at least I thought so. The color was deep Oxblood red. Dead sexy IMO. Noone agrees with me though...

hehe

I've been thinking about a color like that, but I have those lower parts of the dash that are light grey..



so I don't think it will match nicely.. That's why I want something that goes well with that grey..

[Speedlaw]

Oh right.

Ok - in that case... Skip the red.



Personally I'd stay away from two tone leather, if the contrast is too big it can look weird, IMO. However, AMG silver + black could be spot on for your car.

As an alternative, have you seen that BMW grey leather? It could be 'too much' gray, but matching a color to silver paint and grey plastic is pretty hard. Don't think beige or cream would work, for instance.

Though one Bart!

I think I've said it before, but on a dark car, with a dark interior, dark red leather is proper nice.

I almost ordered a Gunmetal Grey Merc A-Class with Red leather seats and dashboard.

Mmmmm!

BUT

On your car, I think I'd just stick with black leather mate.

And maybe try to find the lower part of your dash in black and replace it?

[sbp]

damn.. that only made my doubts worse
thx a lot you guys

Though leather looks the bizz it isnt all that comfortable mate, especially in the summer and I have always seen leather as a "wiser" drivers accessory- an age thing

but if you're going to get them by all means they do look nice

Trust me on a cold winters morning you will apreciate heated seats along with your leather interior.

This really is a MUST.

Even with sports seats you'll slide around if you take any sharp corners.
