VXR in the UK with a full retrim . I like the red stiching in the seats ans the embrodory . Im thinking i may get my seats done with either the VXR or HSV Logo on them. More then likely go for the VXR logo.

If you were to get this done to your car Shaun, I personally wouldn't be getting red stitching done with the Arden Blue colour.....

It looks absolutely dead sexy on the black car!!:D

If you are getting an Arden Blue VXR, then why dont you keep with the Blue theme? and then OPC logo.

my 2c. just makes sense to me.

Each to their own. If Shaun wants to put VXR stitching on his seats, it's his choice, he's the one who needs to be happy about his car.
It hasn't even arrived yet, ha ha. :D

Just like that blue VXR posted up not long ago with the custom retrimmed blue interior, that looks fantastic - definitely better than the plain and boring and only choice of black, you have with the VXR.....

This would be one of the first things I'd do with one of these cars - Shaun, go for it, it'll look twice as good and be unique compared to others around ;) you may even want to consider a high quality coloured fabric for the inserts - much, much better longevity and comfort, compared to leather.

Digifish, I too picked up that the finish quality ain't exactly top notch, but with leather interiors, just give it a little time for wear n tear and they end up stretched and wrinkly anyway ;) especially the drivers seat, which gets used more than the rest of the interior !

That's why I prefer leather with cloth inserts, for an 'everyday' car - leave the all leather interiors for the weekend or showcars ;)

I now exactly what your refering to John... Louise was ment to meet me when i was over in the UK last year but didnt come...

I wanted to see the seats . Maybe next trip over she will come out.. (doubt it now she dont speak to me anymore for some reason)

Im thinking about either a HSV Logo like the Last Clubsport got or the VXR logo instead.. I wont be doing a fully trim though. too costly at this stage. Aussie has done his too....

That just looks amazing... best aftermarket seats (color coordinationwise) i've seen. :)

hrmm go the hsv logo i wreckon... tie the car to the AU market a little more unless you plan on de-badging and going back to full Euro badges. :cool:

It’s a shame you like so far from me other wise I would have embroidered your VXR logo for free! :)

I do heaps of seats for a local upholsterer, it won’t be cheep as you need to remove your seat covers

Your refering to Aussie's Car. Being Shane's car. This is a different car . Its actually been done before delivery has taken place from the dealership.
