Ive had a few quotes for my seats to get retrimmed locally and have decided to go for it.
Just having problems deciding on what to go for.
I currently have calibra leather seats up front and just the standard bench in the back with a leather cover
I have got the sport rear bench sitting in my garage awaiting to be converted to a calibra one, but a retrim has always been in my mind, and now I have the funds to get it done I have decided to go for it.
I am thinking of going for all black leather again as the leather on the cali seats isnt in good condition.
A Couple of people have said about adding a coloured piping, such as white piping to make it look abit different.
What do you think Would suit my car?

Stitching in a different colour always looks better than piping I think!

Any Reason why?
I noticed I fit in the Cali Seats better as Im not the slimest of people, my mate has a corsa sport and I find that Im always sitting on the bolsters.
I have found the Cali Seats really comfortable for what they are.

The reason why the sport seats instead of the cali, is because there is more support on them.
Here's luke's retrim, car was built about 5 years ago now though...
Really does look good though!

Black leather with white stitching, imo!
Piping always makes the seats look cheap somehow.
Don't go for green though. In a couple of years when you want to split the car, black and white will be a lot easier to shift than black and green.
