After my friend stitched his seats for his MK6 GTI, I have been wanting to do the same thing.

This project will probably take a while. Will update pictures as I go

How are you doing it?

///S55 · 10-26-2011, 05:32 PM

I am not actually stiching it again.
I just stich underneath the original black, so up close you can still see the black criss cross thread. But the red is so much more vibrant, it just draws your attention to it.

Looks great! But labor intensive haha. Keep up the good work, though. Can't wait to see the final product

Clikx · 10-27-2011, 02:10 AM

very clean! Good work!

RWolf10 · 10-27-2011, 04:16 AM

Focusedintntions · 10-27-2011, 06:36 AM

Beautiful! I've been wanting to do something myself to add some pop in the interior...you doing it by machine or hand?

Thanks guys, I am trying to do it in between school and my P/T job, so it might be slow progress

I am doing it by hand, truly an BMW Individual model :P

VMRWheels · 10-27-2011, 06:02 PM

Very labor intensive but I like how it looks. Good job!

1SerieStud · 10-27-2011, 07:30 PM

Impressive. A+ for presentation, dedication, and clean work!

b00st · 10-28-2011, 12:18 PM

That looks really good! You've got more patience than I do though.

///S55 · 10-28-2011, 03:00 PM

I don't know what to do next though, the seats might have to wait till winter break

any suggestions ?

bluecat · 10-28-2011, 03:12 PM

are you taking off the panels, or doing them in place? Are you using any special tools, or just a regular needle? Props to you. I did my shift boot in a previous car and that was a huge PITA.

I am doing everything in place, my arm hurts after a while just because the way I am angled hahaha but other wise it's pretty fun.

Don't know which part of the car to do next though
