M2C Seat Back Cover in CF

Kattanah · 08-10-2019, 03:21 AM

Hello all,

I was checking IND and found that they have CF back covers for the front seats by Autotecknic that can be custom painted.

I have a Hockenheim Silver (HS) and was thinking of either:
1. Painting double stripes in HS
2. Painting the whole thing in HS, but then why paying the premium for CF in the first place
3. Come up with a new design (other than stripes) and have it painted in HS with some clearly exposed CF

What are your thoughts? How would you have it done if you were to install it on your M2C?

Here are some pictures for inspiration:

What are the smaller pieces for?

I think an outline in HS would look good, leaving the center in carbon fiber.

The smaller ones are for the M3 and M4 rear seats

I'd either go full carbon or interior color stripes.

May I test my understanding?

These are pieces that do not improve the performance, and are not apparent to anyone but the rear seat passengers. Yes?

If they did them in dry / open pore cf I'd be interested...

well to would see the carbon on the side of the seat when you get in, but yeah this is cosmetic.

Yes, for that reason having it in full or dominant HS will make it pop out.

And everyone in your rear view mirror.

Ok I'd be down to do this as well. I've already had some custom painted carbon pieces from IND and they came out well. But I'd want this in open/dry carbon fiber weave. Doesn't make sense to do this in gloss finish when everything else in the car is open/dry.

My car is LBB so of course I'd be down for that color. Any feedback so far?, directed at the OP.

Can IND jump in on this convo?

I totally agree with you... I will drop IND a message and hope they can secure it.

I am on the verge of painting the back panel in HS

Unfortunately they can't make it on open core CF.... Only on matte and glossy CF
