My EP3 with leather seats

[RidgeRacer]

Hi All,

Here's some pictures of my EP3:

 

[Burgs]

Very nice! I actually quite like them leather seats, think they make it stand out from the rest. Is the drivers side supposed to be different from the passengers?

Looks very tidy that dude. Anything you are doing to it?

Both seat are the same, (camera angle doesn't help) So far I've just put a head unit in and wind deflectors. My thoughts so far are Tein springs and 20mm spacers, but need to check with insurance. Oh and I want to recondition the OEM wheels as the previous owner lent it to his wife to do the shopping and drive the kids about...

Nice looking ep3 mate especially the leather interior, a very rare extra fitted to these. You going to keep your wheels silver or try something different? Mines NHB and I went for Powder coated matt anthracite, subtle but effective.

I like the leather on the back seats especially

I was thinking either a gun metal black, or a bronze. I like the subtle look specially with a black EP3. When you got yours done, what did you do about the centre caps? Did the shop paint them to match for you?

I had mine powder coated and you can't powder coat plastic so I got some carbon fiber stickers with the H on them from ebay, only about £10 so not too bad if I need to replace them every couple of years. Powder coating lasts longer and just needs a wipe with hot soapy water to clean.

^^ what Benz said. Or find a common colour, one that Halfords sell in rattle cans, get them powder coated in that colour and paint the centre caps yourself. It should be a close-enough match.

I tried my hand at wrapping a couple weeks ago...
