Interior teaser...

[felondnb]

So, Plush Automotive are currently working hard to get my RS4 interior sorted for the DC11 show on the 19th (so, under 2 weeks to go!).

Thought I'd share the teaser pic Luke sent me of the driver's doorcard... bear in mind it's from his iPhone so the colour's a bit off - the leather isn't actually that orange, it's more like cinnamon/spice [:)]

I'll post pics of the rest as soon as I get to see it! [>_<]

[Audibot]

Now that is sexy! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the interior!

[vhstejskal]

That looks awesome!!! The colors go really well with the trim... Congrats; can't wait to see the end results...

[yayjohnny]

woooooooow
I'm sosososososos jealous

[Slappy]

If you read first then scroll down real slow you see wood and I almost threw up. Then you keep scrolling down and you get wood in your pants! SILLY!

[felondnb]

Haha, cheers guys [:)]

I've been rolling around with only my front seats for a month & the wait is killing me! It'll feel so fresh and luxurious when it's all fitted! [:D]

[matt@oCarbon]

Very nice.

Just the door cards in that color or other bits as well?

[Mark.]

literally just said WOOOW outloud when i saw it, that looks fucking good

[Checho]

I hate it, purely due to the fact that it's not on my car :P

[ryanworth]

Mad jealous right now. Subscribed!

[Mark.]

I hate it, purely due to the fact that it's not on my car :P

That like you're new phrase? hahaha

[beantown]

So sick...can't wait for the finished results.

[felondnb]

Only 12 days til the show, so not long now! [:)]

Here's the Photoshop I did to explain to Luke what I wanted as I asked for extra horizontal panelling on the seats (Obviously it'll be RHD though [;)])...

I've also got a TTS steering wheel to go in, with paddles which will be hooked up to my air ride.

I'm rather excited to see it all come together, to say the least! [:D]

[Checho]

That like you're new phrase? hahaha

Lol it's like my stamp of approval :P

BTW, how in the hell are you gonna run the wiring through the paddle shifters on the steering wheel? Will it be "All Up" and "All Down"?

[felondnb]

BTW, how in the hell are you gonna run the wiring through the paddle shifters on the steering wheel? Will it be "All Up" and "All Down"?

The EasyStreet controller uses momentary switches for all up/all down... so the paddles will work in the same way based on the the duration of the press/hold.

Luke's done this already on a few cars, so it shouldn't be a problem.

[aaron1085]

Wow, talk about an investment $$$$$$.... looks sharp!

[maidest]

wow that looks fucking insane. and that steering is gonna be ridiculous as well. can't wait to see some proper pics.

[Leo14]

OH. MY. LANTA. I hate you.

<--Jelly

[staticuxo]

looks dope, can't wait to see it completed [up]

[tankdeer]

Going to jump on the "I hate you" bandwagon.

[yayjohnny]

Jeeeezzzussss. Damn

[greensto]

I cant wait!

[NERO Quattro]

Tits, enough said...

[Boxmods360]

This looks amazing!!! I can't wait to see the final product.

[Titanems]

oh good god my pants just shrunk

[drumnjuny]

wow, this is seriously impressive!!! looks amazing dude!!
can't wait to see the finished product

[Koby]

mother of god, that is going to be amazing

[TAWoody]

Looks sick. A darker version of that would look sexy with my grey interior with dark wood accents. You're giving me some ideas now.

[felondnb]

The leather is called Sateen Harvest - "sateen" being the premium grade, smooth finish hide and "harvest" being the colour.

Luke recently trimmed a set of RS4 Cabrio Recaros along with the rear seats & doorcards for a client's Golf in the US - here's a pic of his all installed - looking a lot less orange...

I've asked Luke not to put his logo on them, but to stamp emboss the Recaro logo on the headrest area between the harness holes.

The wait is really getting to me now... I don't do patient! [:D]

[solaris10]

Going by the quality of Luke's RS4, I cant wait to see your interior.

[felondnb]

Right, Luke is saying I should head up early next week to get it all fitted - there isn't a smiley to express how excited I am, so this will have to do... [drool]

[felondnb]

So I went up to Plush today and before I left, Luke took a couple of quick pics...

Full custom Sateen Harvest RS4 interior & TT-S steering wheel.

Didn't get a chance to wire up the paddles for the air ride, but all in good time [:)]

I'll do a proper shoot soon! [:D]

[Mashimarho]

Oh my god.
Send me those interior trims. They are going straight into my car.

[Sharkfin]

holy crap that's sick. How much did it cost you?

[Soul Kitchen]

Looks absolutely amazing!! your steering wheel is going to be the shit... no honestly, that's the coolest idea I've heard in ages haha..

^ and damn, that pic reminds me of how little leg room our rear seats get hah, my passengers are always fighting over who gets shotgun and doesn't have to squeeze in the back

[solaris10]

Superb!

[RJMars]

[hail]

[greensto]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[projectb7]

Great, with all that money you have in that killer interior can you send me $700 for a new laptop.. I just had some bodily fluids fry mine.

[felondnb]

Cheers guys - I'm over the moon with it [:D] It looks even better in the flesh (well, skin!) [:)]

I'll take some better pics soon - there's a show on Sunday which I've put a stand together for, representing my site/forum Vorsprung Collective (http://www.vorsprungcollective.com/), so I'll post a show report on there.

Thanks again for all your feedback!

[Markao66]

[Stewy]

Looks sick man. Well done.

[felondnb]

[felondnb]

A couple more pics Luke took which he didn't post on facebook...

http://www.mattstevens.co.uk/car/interior/rs4_int_01.jpg

You can see in this one the Recaro logo stamp - nice and subtle... and with an OEM vibe of course [cool]

[drumnjuny]

d-d-d-damn son! so jealous!

[ggg20t]

unreal. I've looked up to this car ever since i joined AZ. You continue to amaze me. Absolutely brilliant job!

[ChampionV63.2]

LOVE IT!!! TOO BAD WE CAN"T GET THOSE KICK ASS EURO SEATS HERE IN THE US!!!!

[felondnb]

Awww thanks [:)]

Next is a new exhaust & remap... and I'm tempted to go for a bigger turbo too.


LOVE IT!!! TOO BAD WE CAN"T GET THOSE KICK ASS EURO SEATS HERE IN THE US!!!!

They're very snug & with the US lawsuit culture, I expect it wouldn't have been long before some obese bastard tried to sue Audi as he couldn't drive the car he's bought... though that's purely speculation! haha

[crazytex21]

i want to sit in your seats naked... is that weird?

[glissoar]

i want to sit in your seats naked... is that weird?

Slightly.......... but only slightly

[Larson7.62]

Looks very good, congrats!

[drumnjuny]

i want to sit in your seats naked... is that weird?

understandable.

[felondnb]

Another pic someone took at the show on the weekend... shows the colour better [:)]

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t31/s10tyg/DC11/DSC00125.jpg

[tarunpatel]

Looks amazing OMG just had movement in the pants :) BTW how much did that cost you to do?

[ElCompa]

That looks Sexy! Awesome job!

[felondnb]

Looks amazing OMG just had movement in the pants :) BTW how much did that cost you to do?

Lots... around the $9000 mark at the current exchange rate [o_o]

But that's for high grade 'Sateen Harvest' leather covering the seats, door cards, handbrake handle & gear gaiter with custom panelling on the seats & Recaro stamp embossing, plus alcantara seat backs & installing the heated seat wiring, etc. That also includes buying the seats in the first place.

Luke's quality of work is probably the best I've seen and it's as good, if not better than the OEM trimming.

[Koby]

Jesus, that is just perfection, there's no other way to describe it. Pics of the rest of car? Just curious how good of an A4 he must have to justify that much cost and effort. Seriously, one of the best interiors I've seen on any car.

Here you go.... I took these before I had the interior done.

Luke, Plush Automotive (http://www.plush-automotive.co.uk/) head honcho and master seamstress owns a stunning RS4 which you can see (along with a few more of mine) here: http://www.vorsprungcollective.com/feature-cars/audis-on-air-photoshoot/

Luke's just ripped the RS4 apart to do the headlining in alcantara and recently he's fitted late-spec clear corner headlights and a grill blanking plinth to tidy the front end up.

[docurley]

Wow...................... http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/images/smilies/hubbahubba.gif

[vbrad26]

OMG just had movement in the pants :)

was it a bowel movement?

[Levinoss08]

Incredible work, but that teal-ish green-ish color would not have been my first but outstanding work none the less.
(the harvest is a nice color though.)

[mcmahonbj]

Still my favorite A4 EVER! That stance is what i want, so clean and OEM+

[Leo14]

Wow...................... http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/images/smilies/hubbahubba.gif

Hahaha I've never seen that face before, but thats what my expression is like right now. DAMN I want to have sex with your seats.

*edit* Ohh its a GIF

[felondnb]

Thanks chaps! [:D]

[wildcat333]

And after looking at this thread a million times, I will also chime in. Excellent work. It looks better than OEM (OEM+ do people say?).
