i am about to start on the interior of my esprit, and due to my size i have fitted some skinny elise/exige seats in there, however they need re-trimming. i really like the look of the diablo seats shown in the picture below, but ireally need as many reference pictures as i can get to show the trimmer, is there anyone with a diablo with the same style seats that can take a good collection of pictures inc close ups for me so i can give as many to the trimmer as possible? it would help me out a great deal. most of you will recognise my esprit as the one featured in the news here, the bbc and all over the net as the one the lotus esprit forum took away and restored for me while i was recovering from my t.i.a strokes at the beginning of last year. one of the things i have been looking forward to doing is the interior and as i have now decided on what i want i need to get as much info for the trimmer as possible to make his job easier, the only thing i am doing is cutting and fitting new interior carpets( well im going to try!) so if someone can help in anyway please let me know.

many thanks

simon

many thanks for your help, i have sent the ones above off but he still needs more ref pics, especially close ups of the gap panels in the seats with the holes in and the stiching to see if the leather is folded back on itself to form a small flap over that section.
