E21 Leather Interior?
E21 Leather Interior?
Did the E21 ever do a leather interior?
If not, is there any other models (example the E30) would a leather interior fit into an E21
I just fancy upgrading my interior but all the E21's seem to be abit shabby

Re: E21 Leather Interior?
I'm selling a pair of cream leather recaros in very good condition - £280 inc. the E21 recaro runners. No rears though sorry.
Re: E21 Leather Interior?
here's my interior. i had it trimmed by a guy in Leeds. if you buy reck's seats then he would trim the back bench fir probably not much.

Re: E21 Leather Interior?
I'e had a look and can't find any on this computer - I'm down at the workshop this weekend so will get you some then.
Re: E21 Leather Interior?
dont worry about it, im thinking that the recaro seats would look to sporty for the look im after.
iv been thinking about just having a full leather retrim if i can get a good price
cheers though

Re: E21 Leather Interior?
i bought some ropey old recaros and runners off ebay.
and a spare rear seat so i wouldnt have to sacrifice my old interior.
The trimmer guy refreshed the foam and then used my old carpet to make templates for a new carpet. While i was there i saw the kiezer chiefs camper van that had been done with red leather and velour mix with a sea grass carpet - awesome bus tbh.
I basically said "trim it how you would have it but no bonkers colours please" and thats how i got it back about a week later

You all talk about a leather recaro interior but there were also normal leather interiors

Re: E21 Leather Interior?
hmm ye dark grey would look well
no mate havent even thought about body work yet, theres a tiny bit of rust showing under the rear window next to the back pillar. But when i start that stuff id rather get the lot done in one go.

This is not my car. It is currently for sale in the Netherlands. Marktplaats is an advertising site. This is an original leather interior for the E21 and was in different colours available. I have seen it in brown and beige also.
