Seat fabrics

[chriswilliams]

I am about to buy fabric from Antonio Ruggi for my TI GC.

The TI fabric looks good in the pictures, but the side panel fabric he recommends BATIS does not look as though it matches the black fabric on my seats.

Has anybody bought this? Is it black or not? Does it match the black fabric on the TI seats or did some TI's have different side fabric?

Any help as always appreciated.

Chris.

Having just finished on a big, and expensive retrim on my Dedra seats the one thing I would say is first ask for samples to be sent. I originally only planned on doing my front seats but the new material was too far away a match.
So my advice before ordering any big amounts is to ask for a small sample, better to spend a little and know it's right before spending a lot and it being wrong.

I got the samples and now I have the TI and black fabric to do the whole car.

The italian supplier Antonio has come up trumps for me.
