Opinions please! - el_bandido - 31-12-2019
Right,
For the most part I trust you guys judgement and I'm in need of a little inspiration
I'm getting a pair of bride brix recliners reupholstered after the MOT/insurance renews at the end of March (if there are no nasty surprises).
I've chosen Edge Automotive, who have a section on this forum. I want to keep the car fairly Lexus looking, while having some more supportive front seats.
Initial thoughts are something like this:
http://www.edgeautomotive.co.uk/?portfolio=bmw-m3-e46-cabriolet-interior-retirm
Only with very dark charcoal stitching, as I don't want it to stand out from the black too much. The seats will be black half leather half alcantara.
Anyone got any other ideas before I shell out £750?
Also, if anyone else has some bride brix recliners they want reupholstering it should bring the price down a bit, so get in touch!
Ideas on a postcard

Love the quilted look, would do exactly the same thing myself if doing a retrim
However I'm not sure it'll suit a racing bucket type seat - having you come across any pictures retrimmed buckets?

To be honest mate, i think with dark stitching they would look great..i'd go for it.
..so not much inspiration from me i'm afraid

Bride brix's don't look too bad in half leather half alcantara. Just want to give it that slightly more luxury feel.
edit: I think something like the above with quilting, then a lexus logo where the bride lettering is would be ideal.

They look awesome and would look even better quilted. I wouldn't bother with the Lexus logo though... Probably because I drive a Toyota.
Opinions please! - el_bandido - 31-12-2019
Yeah, I'm debating the lexus logo to be honest. Could either look really good or extremely tacky. I'll probably leave it out.

Think your plans as they stand are the best way to go about it Koss
Should look very nice

Those are great looking seats!
Personally I'd get the Lexus logo embossed rather than embroidered if possible and the quilting should look ok too.

Not feeling the quilted look but hey if we didn't have different likes we'd all be driving the same thing.

right, update on this! I've had the bride seat in the car for about 2 hours and I hate it already. Sits way too low and it's a bit too snug on the legs. The lowness is absolutely ridiculous, considering it's designed for 5'5" Japanese people, I have about 4" of my head above the window line.
Just waiting for a quote on a pair of recaro's!
