Hello all. On my 2008 Cooper, I installed a complete set of black lounge leather seats that have an off white piping that surrounds them. I want to add more leather to the interior to pull everything together. I just received a steering wheel wrap from Redlinegoods and it should look awesome when done. My need throughts... I want to treat the Colorline items to leather too. The car is Lightning Blue metallic with black bonnet stripes with white borders. Redlinegoods sells leather wraps or finished items in a ton of colors and threads to cover those Colorline components: Door armrests, the dash area where the glove box button and ignition switch is, and the console lid. I was thinking black leather, with creme stitching to match up with the seat piping. They have tan and some other lighter colors for stitching too. Do you think the creme would be a good match to that piping? I also am toying with the idea of doing something cool with the steering wheel switch covers and the ring on the air back. I am thinking a wrinkle silver or gray. My dash panels are that spun brushed aluminum look. That finish is on my door pulls too. Give me some opinions and creative thoughts everyone! Thank you in advance!

How'd you track down the seats?

I am thinking about taking my car to an upholstry shop to upgrad from the leatherette.

 

I'd ask them what would match best. I told them what I had, and they recommended what would look best. Maybe email them a photo of what you have.

 

I found them from a vendor in Erie PA. I am in NJ, and I took out a very clean set of sport leather seats from my car to put these in. If you are within reach of NJ, I would be happy to sell you my take out leather seats to upgrade your Leatherette.

That does sound like a good plan. I do want a contrasting color to liven up the black.

Sent a PM. Not sure what my plan is yet.

 

Got it. I will shoot you the pics in about an hour.

 

I would love to cover the plastic console between the seats with leather. I think that the hard plastic is chintzy.

 

I have a local woman near my home that was going to do it for me, but she hasn't picked up the phone in a week. The steering wheel wrap that I got from Redlinegoods is beautiful, I expect everything from them to look that good. They do all kinds of different patterns too.
