For the head rests I'm thinking of not doing them in red tartan but just replace the corduroy with a like for like black vinyl as the sides (bolsters) are.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So, my interior is black, I mean pretty much everything.... Awhile back, I added some red belts to add some colour. Made an improvement. But still need more I feel. Decided to investigate getting some seat colour... I mean how many singer interior pics can you look at without doing something about it!! Man is not a camel, right?
Been checking out the tartan and houndstooth look. The houndstooth is so classic and stylish, like it heaps. Very tempted. So 911R.... But for my car being all black in and out, I want more colour... more bling to lighten it up a bit. So, leaning towards the tartan. The search continued...
Ive updated my exterior decals to red (was orange... was not a fan of the orange), so with my black car, I'm looking for a red/black tartan. Its been a challenge as so many tartans are loaded with blues, greens or yellows... and I didnt want the base colour white as it would be too bright for me. its been hard finding one without those other colours and with the right proportion of red, black & white. Then there's the fabric... light, heavy, pure wool or synthetic, etc... Hmmm, its hard finding out stuff.
Here's my original interior, pre-red belts. A bit dull/drab, eh?
I've now weened my selection down to a few:
Coming in at 4th:
In 3rd place:
And in 2nd place... and almost got pole position:
Sorry, about the lousy pic quality above.
But... sitting up in 1st place... the winning entry is (drum roll pls):
I got a sample of this winning entry shipped to me to be sure it looks the same as the web pic. Hello!! 20pounds postage thanks! Over $40 AUS to touch it. Ouch!
Anyway, a few emails later, this only comes in a lightweight pure wool (10oz) fabric ... which is not ideal but in checking with my upholsterer he's ok with its hardiness. After all, the car is not a DD so it wont get sat in every day. Polyviscose or a heavier wool (13oz, 16oz) is better I'm told. I need about 2m in length.
I'm going to replace just the centre corduroy inserts. The black sides will remain. For the head rests I'm thinking of not doing them in red tartan but just replace the corduroy with a like for like black vinyl as the sides (bolsters) are. So, the head rest will just be plain vinyl black.
Booked in for early next year.. pics and update hopefully by end of Jan 2019. I'm excited.
I know, they’re all pretty good. It comes down to a personal choice.
Yes, haha... blue/white with the odd garlic stain...! I can hear the bazouki music already.
I've been known to play the occasionally golf. Hmmm, tartan daks could be interesting... even for the next cars & coffee!
BTW, the cosmetic surgery is set for Jan 15th.... should be ready for Hangar Bangar2, the first official unveiling. Might ask Mark Webber and Maria Sharapova to do a presentation, in the all new 992 style!! ...Too much?
😊
Ok... getting excited now. The car has gone in to the shop this week. will be picking it up tomorrow just in time for the weekends big shabang “HB2”.
stay tune, pics to come
😀
Thanks mate, it took quite a bit of googling, going through several Scottish websites to not have blue or yellow in the mix... was keen to on only have red, white and black or a combo of these.
Well if you must know.... It’s a bit secular I’m afraid, here’s an official blurb:
The Tweedside tartan dates from c.1840 and appears to be one of several patterns named after towns, districts and personalities by the famous weaving firm, William Wilson and Sons of Bannockburn.
