....That's right :happy2:. And also, as Jonny points out so well, the .:R to VW is what the //M is to BMW - It's not as if I've got RS4 or similar on them.
I've now been told that the Interlagos fabric available is re-manufactured and not exactly the same - Pics are coming to me.
Also, as I'm intending to wrap the Recaro backs in carbon vinyl (sounds horrbile but check out my Carbonskin Gallery link earlier) and also wrap the aluminium door trim strips etc, it could all get a bit too much with Interlagos as well.
A big part of me would like to lose as many silver bits from the car interior as possible/practical - It might be higher quality but I personally don't much like the new Mk6 trim, especially on the steering wheel.
So I'm going to go and see the upholsterer again on Tuesday, or as soon as he's available, and discuss what options might be practical to just subtley enhance the seats - a touch of Red Love.

im a bit of a purist though so OEM would be the way for me, either with a retrim as per OEM or the proper covers, if i couldn't afford the trim i would sell the wife :jumping:

....I just wanted to say that although you and I are very different in our approaches, I much appreciate your attitude - It's because of guys like you that in years in the future there will be some immaculate Mk5 GTI's in their original oem condition to be able to admire.

My young SWMBO likes them and is long legged enough to get in and out easily. She sat in them for the first time this morning - I got asked to taxi her and a couple of her friends about half-an-hour's drive away. Bit of a separate story here, so I'll post a new thread later in Random - It involves discussions of anal sex! And it wasn't me who brought up the subject!!

Thanks, stokey :happy2:
Yes I recall you posted this in another thread. I'm not registered there and would need so many posts before I could contact. "KustomTrimming" doesn't result when Google'd :sad:
Thing is though that I'm warming to the non-Interlagos option but red-enhanced .:R styling with carbonskin vinyl wraps.
I won't make a final decision until seeing my upholstery guy to discuss.
Meanwhile anyone here registered on the Club Lupo or on No Rice site who can help me make initial contact by passing on my private email?
:happy2:
