i am wondering how hard it would be to have the "R" on the front seats stitched/embroidered like the emblems on the car? i think that this would be a nice touch on the inside... anybody do this???

 

There is kinda one there that looks like it was pressed into the leather.

 

i want to have that embroidered in the red/green/silver the way the badges are on the fender and deck lid

 

They make all sorts of stick-on or iron-on colored fabric/paper, but the problem is you'll have to cut it yourself...Unless remove the fabric from and seat and put it back on without wrinkles and hog ties, embroidered will be super expensive...

 

I cant remember the members name but someone on the boards has that done looks really good.

 

Hello Carloner;
I don't know about Jaguar, but I've had this done for "Chevy". I had custom leather put in with the "Chevy" stitched into the head rest covers. I know that some custom makers won't add the Jaguar logo or name because of some resistance from Jaguar. That would look good on the seats though. Much better than that pressed "R" logo that we have now.

Drive On!!...

Fast Freddie...

 

I knew I could find it. Here you go. The member was Red 5. I havent seen him post in a while so not sure if he is still active on the forums. At least you can now see what it would look like. Here is a link to more pics that he posted.

Post 18 has his pics.

 

That really looks nice...

 

Looks great, but at what cost? I thought of a cheaper option...Find a custom patch maker make a couple of R patches then stitch them on...Guessing you'll save hundreds unless you have a connection to an upholster are or able to take the leather off the seat yourself...

Another cheaper option (I think) would be to just get the headrests embroidered; I don't know what years have power headrest vs non-power or how hard either are to remove...
