Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 3,925 | Dove Gray vaders with black interior? My interior is compeletely black right now. I might have found a good deal on dove gray vader seats (front and rear). How would dove gray seats look in a black interior? Has anyone seen this before? How hard they to dye black? I did a search and I can't find any pics of this combination. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 03-30-2006, 12:42 AM | #2 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | I think i've seen this before on a bmw,i know i've seen this color combo on other cars.

I will have black seats with a grey interior installed this weekend. I will post up some pics of that if you think it would help. | | | 03-30-2006, 02:58 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | Black seats ...grey interior......no way.....not good.

I dyed my Dove grey Vaders to Biege to match my interior. Not a very large change in color. I don't think dying them black is practical. Quote: Originally Posted by DustenT BUMP!

Dove gray seats with the bolsters dyed black in a black interior car. (Leatherique) Sick hot. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 03-30-2006, 03:50 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | I originally wanted to swap out the gray cloth in my car for black leather. Bought a couple yards of black fabric, tucked it around the seats and stood back. It was pretty high contrast and wasn't sure so I backed off. I think the same is true of gray into black Dustin. You'll need a couple gray accents here/there to really ti it in. Maybe paint the plastic seat backs to black? Maybe get gray stitching/piping on your ebrake and shift boots? Maybe a gray/white face guage set? If you can find pics I'll try to pshop something for you if you want. __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 03-30-2006, 04:02 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 | Quote: Originally Posted by L84THSKY Black seats ...grey interior......no way.....not good. | Im not too concerned with looks..

"grippy" of a seat. It'd be better to get an aftermarket racing seat. __________________ -Kenny | | | 03-30-2006, 04:46 AM | #11 | doesn't care about you.

It doesn't look bad. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 03-30-2006, 04:53 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Melbourne, Fl/Athens, AL Posts: 393 | It looks like beige to me. Dove grey is more, well, grey. __________________ -Kenny | | | 03-30-2006, 04:55 AM | #13 | doesn't care about you.

I might be the lighting in the picture, but I'm pretty sure that's dove grey. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 03-30-2006, 05:03 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Melbourne, Fl/Athens, AL Posts: 393 | Hmmm... after looking through some pics, it seems you're probably right. I guess the dove grey leather is just darker than cloth. __________________ -Kenny | | | 03-30-2006, 05:21 AM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 | Quote: Originally Posted by Variance If that's the case, I remember hearing that vaders aren't actually all that, how should I say...

They are actually carbon/kevlar side mount race seats with a high grip fabric. Grey was not a color option. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
