Cheap red leather seats and doorcards

Post by Alan W »

Just spotted these on eBay.. absolute bargain if any good

Looks striking in a black car

I'm hanging out for some decent sports seats but would have these as a second choice..

Not surprised they haven't attracted much interest - would make any car look like a "tarts boudoir" (so I'm told!) :wink:

It's a matter of personal taste. I have a similar interior in my car, & with the Sterling grey bodywork, it looks stunning. Much better than a nasty tan or beige interior, but then that is my view, not everybody's. I'm sure that lots of folk love the tan interiors... Personally, that would put me off buying a car.

You are so right, thank God we all have different tastes.

I suppose the market dictates which colour is most popular and those that are perceived as more tasteful will always command a premium. I wonder what colour trim was ordered more often when Zeds were new? :geek:

At a guess, I would say black. That's what I see most often. (I've heard they're supposed to be bigger..) or am I thinking of something else..? :roll:

Pah! I have a black car with pretty much that interior, and I think it looks great. :D

I am a supporter of the red/black or any other two tone interior. It seems to give the Z3 a more sporty "roadster" appearance. I once had a rush of sh1tee to the head in the 70's and bought a brand new Merc 230 E.... it was very beige.everywhere !!! :fade
Fortunately I was rear ended two weeks later and managed to get shot of it to the insurance... :lol:

I have these seats and door cards in my red Z3, looking for a pair of car mats to match, drivers side worn passenger side is ok. Anyone any idea were i can get some from. Will replace with black if I have to but would like the OEM if I can get them.
