Very happy with the result...

Bit of work to fit them but definitely worth it when you put it all back together :D

A34? CBF looking up the color chart. What color is it?

Silver is a great colour to match against :)
Depends what theme you want to run with .. match it with whatever colours you're doing in your engine bay etc.. you can pretty much go with whatever colours you want & it won't look out of place on a silver car... red car however would not look so good with a blue interior etc etc..

Black / grey would look pretty sweet IMO ..


'tis hard enough to choose what colours I want.. & my car is Red, so my only real choices without looking too tacky are Red/Black, Black/Red, Black/Black - Pretty sure I'll get Black/Black w/ red Logo & Red Stitching & get some black door inserts with red stitching.. Will be my X-mas gift to myself this year I think..

Leatherette seat covers are pretty much the perfect gift.. :)
I only say 'pretty much' because the perfect gift would be Leather seat covers..

feel free to go the same design if you want dude,
i just wanted something different to the common "black outside/grey inside" look.
max was even sayin he might go the same style as mine too.

i'm guessin from the fussy-ass picture that the sh*t on the backseat is...
* Alice In Chains - Unplugged concert DVD
* Placebo - Soulmates Never Die DVD
* 1 empty packet of PJ Super Mild 30's
...sorry champ, i'll make sure there's p0rn in the next pics ;)

Competition sells seat covers, not upholstery retrims.
You will have fitting issues with seat covers where the material will stay stuck between bolsters with an air gap between seat foam and material. Wont go in to all the curves and corners.
Looks like a pillow.
Also make sure to compare the quality of the material

+ 1 for what Max said ..

for an upholstery specialist to do a custom retrimming job in leatherette / leatherette-like material, it would probably cost anywhere upwards of $1000 for labour & what they will charge for materials cost.

even for them to fit Max's seat covers it would be at least a few hundred in labour..
