To post a picture:

Interesting topic here - my (cloth) driver's seat needs re-trimming, so I was thinking of going for leather on the front seats myself.

I was thinking about gunmetal grey, but after a bit of consideration I'm now thinking about black leather (car is dark blue) - perhaps with the Porsche logo sewn into the headrest part of the seat - what does everyone think to the embossing? Good or bad?

I think two tone black and red leather looks nice in a black car

Also works well with greys and silvers. Monotones need a bit of a 'lift'.

Scruffy, great colour scheme, but the covers are a little 'baggy', with lines where it is not 100% taught. Looks good tho'.

Good. VERY good indeed. If/when/maybe I do the same, that logo is a must, exactly as you describe it.

That is a very nice interior there scruffy! I'd not thought about light colours, but yours works really well. thumbup

Glad I'm not the only person who thinks the embossed logos would look rather good

the cream with the black piping was the way i was thinking? but i do like the idea of possibly red inserts with red piping on black?

just a guy in manchester, ,i had the pin stripes in it which had holes in it.This was a lot better, the looseness was not that noticale in real life and it cost £750 which was not bad as it brightened everything up.

That £750 retrim on the 944 looks like money well spent,
For me a black car with light cream interior & black pipeing is pure class. so much that I ordered the misses last BMW init.
