Retrimmed Performance Seats, Satin guard wrap

I bought the BMW Performance Seats and had them retrimmed in the original Terracotta leather and matching alcantara. I'm having the door cards done in alcantara too. They are yet to go in but will post once they are. I haven't seen them in the flesh yet but my guy who is installing says they look fantastic, (hope he's right!) A couple of shots of the Satin guard wrap exterior and interior mods too.

The seats we retrimmed by a company in London. The Satin Guard paint wrap by a company around there too. I bought the wrap material from Premier Coatings in California and they shipped it over.

You guys are so lucky to be able to get those seats! I wish we had that option.

Not very comfy at all from my, albeit brief, experience of trying them (at Birds funnily enough). You loose some of the adjustment functionality, and I couldn't get a comfortable position in them at all.

I think the comfort factor of these BMWP seats is very much dependant on your shape/build.
