Here's the current favorite idea for the retrim. I've used a picture of later Porsche seat as it was already black and white so the shape is a bit different. The top section would be smaller probably to flow in to the white "wings".
The idea of the central black stripe together with the padded sections (they're supposed to be creases in the padding not mini stripes) was to pickup the main lines from the GTI fabric. Not certain it's an obvious link but looks good.
I thought about red inserts but the black stripes might not stand out enough. However red is a sporty colour and things like the door cards could be made to blend in to the paintwork. Not sure.
If we decide to retrim the car then the plan is to try doing it all ourselves, including headlining which I thought would look good in white with a larger central black stripe. The top of the dash would be black, either in leather or carbon fibre, and the bottom white. Door cards and parcel shelf would also be done using the same theme. Should be fun as we have trouble darning a sock!
