Thank you, Fredo!

Neeeeed opinions. This is how the interior of the Touring looks now.

Mighty fine but the base seats are killing me, 0 support and plain uncomfortable when driving for longer than 15 seconds.

I'm having the hardest time finding a nice set of Sport seats in gray, plenty of black ones but gray seems to be impossible to find in Germany.
Anyway, I stumbled on a set of black Nappa individual seats for the Touring. The drivers seat needs love but can be fixed relatively easily and the price is really good at 200€ ($232).

I'm thinking to snag them up, but I don't want to rip out the carpets and convert the whole interior to black. Plus, I don't mind gray.

So I'm thinking how to go about making the interior two-tone. Was thinking to do what member Phillips0417 did and make door panels two-tone (I have all of the necessary parts).

Then throw in these seats with a black armrest and call it a day. I'm just unsure if it'll look out of place, I have an image in my head that says it'll look good but wanted to hear opinions.

I think it would look nice, and worst comes to worst you’ll just swap a few more bits to black and it’ll be fine. The seats will be an upgrade that you would appreciate every single time you drive it. The non-sport seats are awful.

Do it

I think it would be fine even without the door cards. There's already several black bits on the interior. Though I prefer cloth seats. :D

+1. Swap the seats and armrest and leave everything else as is.

+1, do eeeeet

+1. Do it. It'll make for another interesting video.

But, I'm a sucker for nappa leather, so there's my bias.

Me too. Found these locally for my wagon

Personally, I hate the flipped look with schwarz on grau I'd much rather just install the seats, be comfortable, and then when the right set of grau sport seats pop up, snag em and keep the grau interior. If I was feeling really ambitious, it would be a full black interior swap, as grau shows the dirt so badly. I had two e46 with grauleder, shit was trashed both times.
