Colour Dilemma

[Sean d]

I got very lucky today and acquired a lovely pair of M sport seats at a very reasonable price to say the least, they are virtually pristine, however this presents a problem with the colour of my 2.8, I was going Solaris Orange with Lotus white interior, I could still do this but IMO the seats are just too nice to re-colour, so its back to the drawing board for the colour,
The chap I bought them off only lives 7 miles away from me and has the most pristine 2.2 I have set my eyes on, 42k and almost as good as new everywhere I looked and it is for sale at a very very reasonable price, If I had the money I would snap his hand off.

Stick with your choice of colour and retrim these seats, that would make a truly individual car

It has crossed my mind to do the blue parts of the seat Lotus and leave the black.

Just leave them just where they are

If you’ve chosen the colour you want you’ll never be happy if you go with something different.
Could you get new covers made to your own spec and sell those on? If they can be removed am sure you would get a buyer.

I could quite happily live with another blue Z however its the interior that would bother me, as M seats don't come up very often I just had to have them

 

[Grumps]

Stick with your original choice mate.

Can't be done with Black mate, way too much maintenance

Just dye the seats.

 

[5harp3y]

But I'm also not sure if orange will look that good on a Z3 either

I'm still not sure but its a lightly burn't metallic orange, Lotus interior will also go well with green

 

[mwpe]

Stick with Blue.

 

[Sean d]

Stick with Blue.

trust you to throw a spanner in the works , I now have big ideas for the interior

 

[Antm72]

I think z3m seats in lotus white and black would be very unique. You have the skills be different mate stick to your choices and it will look fantastic

Do something different with the seats. I saw these advertised, you got a bargain there if they were at the price he wanted. I found ///M seats hug you even more than sports seats.

I did get them at the advertised price, feel like a kid with a new toy, I have a new plan and the seats will be re-coloured
