My new oatmeal seats look amazing! I used matching alcantara suede in doors. Looks so good! Pictures don't even do it justice.
I'm sure the pic needs to be flipped!!

Awesome job Phil, as always! Reminds me of some of the later editions that have the 2 tone oatmeal/black interior.. but I like your rendition a little better.. the factory ones have too much oatmeal for my tastes. I really like the black piping too.. Nice touch! My only question would be how the light color will hold up to wear/cleaning.. my father's RR Sport had a similar color and it was a pain to take care of. That was a daily driver, though.

Looking really good Phil!

The contrast piping is a nice extra touch. I'm also a fan of the dash treatment you have now.

And you have to learn how to put multiple pics in one post.

Yup. From Vic. But truth be told, they didnt fit well. We had to add 1/2" foam to the whole seat to smooth out the saging. Made the seats actually a bit taller but they feel like a brand new car!!
I'm treating them this weekend with some leather conditioner to make them easier to keep clean. I guess I'll be carrying my dog every morning to the car!! Lol.

I used those pics to go by but I didn't like the whole center console oatmeal. And my titanium dash with the piano black accents coordinates well with the oatmeal. It's not as white in person and the dash is much warmer too.

Maybe a moderator can flip pics! I can't figure out how!! Lol

Looks awesome!

How much were they from Vic?

If I can get my check engine light to ever go out, this will be my next investment.

Also, can you give me Vic's contact information?


Thanks in advance.

I agree... I think you achieved the perfect balance of the black and oatmeal

He won't add the piping, only the contrast stitching. My trim shop guy added the black piping for 50.00.
I'll be honest. I also bought a yard of the matching vinyl for future mishaps and if I had seen it first, I'd hav ordered the full vinyl covers. It actually looks better than the leather!! And 300.00 cheaper. (And easier to clean) And could have been heated and made to fit without extra padding. Live and learn.

Phil,
The interior looks brand new. The contrast of light and dark is beautiful. Really nice job - enjoy it.

That's simply marvelous looking. What a balanced and yet contrasting color combo. Thanks for sharing, Phil...

I freely admit that I love my wood and don't generally like changes like this but yours is the exception. What you have achieved is simply stunning. Tata should take a lesson from you. Well done.

My new interior.-image.jpgI need to start posting from my regular pc. I think it will keep pics aligned in right direction. And I've tried forever to post multiple pics and larger but again, i think its an iPad issue.

The last couple projects are the rear speaker covers, same as front covers, suede and mesh grilles. And mount my umbrellas in the back made from two British Autowood shifter knobs.
