Gotta say, I'm not a fan of the diamond tuck, seems out of place on a German car, but that's just a matter of personal preference.

That aside, you can tell that it is a quality leather and that the craftsmanship is superior.

I've done leather reupolstery before and the leather itself is usually the cheapest part of the deal. You've found a guy with that kind of skillset at a good price and when the need arises, I'll definitely contact him.

Love the color, the stitching and crests, but the diamond tuck, not so much. Good luck with them.

I agree with lil' bastard, the diamond tuck design looks out of place on a sports car. It reminds me of 70's era custom chevy vans....but the quality is nice. So, you have a nice 70's look....

Well I dont remember the 70s all that much. I was born in 72. The diamond tuck must be coming back in style as seen in the aston martin and the 2009 Bentley Azure convertable. ( see attached photo)
The good thing is with this guy he can do any style you like.
