[andythom188]

im looking to retrim in leather x2 captain seats and a caravelle rear triple seat in my kombi .
What are your thoughts on this pattern ? I've looked at loads even new 2017 oem caravelle leather
But keep going back to this pattern maybe replace the red stitching with blackberry or lime green to break the black up, no emblem on the seats of course these are stock photos,
I would like your opinions please is it to busy of a pattern?
I would like to know if it's a likely or no likely

Do like the hexagonal stitching on these just probably not as much they look a bit cluttered for my liking.

Don't know why, but it makes me think of transformers.

This is how mine are being retrimmed. Except on mine the red leather section will be black alcantara and the middle section will be black alcantara instead of leather. I should have then in a week or so along with headlining and pillar trimmed up.

I like Ratty's design too, I love the black/red contrast.

I think there is a balance between under-doing it and over-doing it. I went for 'OEMish' under-stated and now wish I'd been a bit bolder.

I personally think that the OEM look would be a good start, maybe with a contrasted stitching and different colours panels like the 'Velle Exec (with Alcantara)
but you could use any colour leather, or the carbon look? Can you find someone that can replicate the OEM, and bring the cost down?
