Im looking for some interior retrim ideas for my corsa,i have standard sport seats & door cards and wanting to have them retrimmed to look nice and modern.

Im swaying more towards half leather retrim rather than the full leather so i don't get a sweaty arse in the warm weather and so im not sliding round in them when roung around round abouts.

So does anyone have any pictures of nice subtle retimmed interiors? they don't have to be in a corsa any car will do just looking for ideas.

Going for something similar to the Standard VXR Recaro's would be quite smart IMO;

I did think of buying some cheap sri seats out a mk5 astra and using the silver speckle center material and having the sides done in leather with silver stitching.

Can't beat the look of vxr seats.

Ended up with Jambos fronts in mine, two secs I'll get pics. Were spot on, no sliding and very comfortable.

I would have them with black outer and a modern patten in the middles.

Definetly going for half leather just not sure what to pattern to do the middles whether to source some seats for the material or see what material the re trimmers have.

What about maybe some new seats instead??

For some reason i hate the look of re-trimmed standard sport seats. They just don't look comfy at all and imo, don't look good. Too flat looking and un-supportive. Prefer something with a bit side bolster.

Wouldn't say no to some new seats its just the chow on having to get them to fit right.

I like the sport seats they comfy and have bolster.

Half leathers look great in my opinion. Would surely be cheaper too?
