My next project....Red Alcantara seats - One Complete!!!

[Smokey]

oh and my leather needles arrived so can continue tomorrow. Also the replacement seat cover for the damaged driver bolster arrived. It's so new, it seems a waste to tear it apart!!

Also wish I'd bought the driver base cove too now as the red stitching is much brighter on the new cover :S

Did it sell ? he may relist it. That was fast post, ive ordered a set of plugs for the big service and they havnt shown up yet.

Have emailed. Very quick delivery!

So got the new thread and needles and went to work while Corey was visiting.

Made a little progress but not as much as I could have but we were doing things to Corey's ZS too!

[Smokey]

Got the sewing machine out after work today and got cracking to finish the first seat (also got the centre console back in the car, just needs wiring)

Took a while but the seat is now covered and the side section reattached.

I have my opinion... what's yours??

[grimmy]

You have done a great job but I am not sure,need to see it in the flesh I think,pics won't show the colour properly.

[Smokey]

Or texture. Corey can comment as he has seen and felt them. To say I am hyper excited at how well it turned out is an understatement. I think it would be hard to tell the difference between MG ones and these apart from colour tone!

This is what the standard alcantara looks like to compare:



And this is what my seat used to look like:

I like, I even prefer the leather part to the originals as it looks like leather. Great job mate
