Title: Plaid Natur interior cloth?
Post by: colin86325 on May 12, 2010, 08:04:22 PM

My 318iS has a Natur interior and the driver's seat is kinda worn.  I'd like to redo the seats with a plaid cloth that would accent Natur bolsters, similar to this picture (but minus the Motorsport inserts).  Does anybody know where to get this fabric?  I'm not sure it was an option for E30s, but I think it was for E34s?

Kevin of Creative Options has indicated that there is plaid cloth that should match natur.  I'll post up pics if/when this goes forward.

The thing is that I don't think I've seen any seats like what I'm describing.

You might want to check a few places for VW GTI fabric.  That looks really similar to some of their stuff, but I've never seen it on a stock e30.  Maybe it's a custom job?  Looks like the entire 'vert interior was freshened up...superb!

Or update it with some alcantara bolsters!

Reminds me of the old 924 & 944 Recaro buckets too, especially in the Martini Edition.  Porsche guys have superb resources for restoration, but they're not cheap.

I did find some pics, but the project is on hold for the moment:

Ooooh...that's nice....who did the job?  Where did you source the fabric?
