Before Trax this year I hope to get my car retrimmed, however I'm really stumped on what I should do!

I want something in keeping with my car (sporty, subtle and sleek) but also want something where if someone was to walk past they would notice its not standard,

I have up until now been thinking Black leather down side and head rest, black alcantara in the middle. White double stiched thru out.

This would be quite subtle, however im not sure if it would be catching enough?

Anyone got any ideas?

The car currently has silvers, chromes and blacks. There is a little hint of yellow but thats it!

Everyone seems to have Black + White leather - I want somethign a lil different,

Cheers!

I would go for a cream/beige leather, hopefully one day i'm going to have that in my car, it'll look nice and stand out against the black exterior

Cream leather needs to much looking after and gets grubby to quick. Go for wot you already said, black leather bolsters, silver Alcantara with silver stitching.

I like the yellow,

But it really is crazy!

I have Irmschermats which have a little bit of Red leather in..

I think that would be a bit to crazy too?

But saying that,

The astra VXr concept red leather looks awsome

all leather IMO i think alacantara looks a bit messy and doesnt sit as good as leather on the seats. id go for plain black leather with double red stiching, but i would get the leather done like alfas so its not plain but has a patern in.

Leather just makes you sweat on hot days, Half leather half alcantara is better....

Do it like this.

Yellow or silver are a gamble.
