My mistake; I copy+pasted the wrong link. Are you looking for a thread in which someone actually dyes his seats blue, or do you simply want pictures of an Estoril Blue interior?

Edit: I have the link I previously had in mind. It's a thread on m3forum that originally gave me the inspiration for blue, but it seems to have been made by the same OP (though on different forums, they have the same SN) as that of the non-working thread, so the pictures aren't working in this one anymore either. He must have removed the pictures from his Photobucket account?

If you go to the second page of the M3forum thread found below, there are pictures of the finished product of a member's, LSBe46M3, Laguna Seca Blue dyed seats. The only thing is, there are no actual pictures of the process, rather just a few pictures of the finished product.

I'm interested in how the dye is holding up. My only concern is this rubbing off onto your clothes after a while. Next month I'll dye my interior to Saddle Brown, from my boring black on black combo.

It never rubbed off on my clothes, but there was one spot on the side of my seat that like flaked off after awhile, and i get into my car pretty hard. So when i get in it rubs there a lot.

All i had to do was touch it up, and it seems good. I may have not cleaned it good enough when applying

I can't even imagine why u dyed them red. I just paid $1300 for my Coral red sport interior and I would have trade those for ur saddle brown in a heartbeat.

Then again, I have a thing for brown leather.
Anyway, very brave and nice job of ur. I wonder how well they hold up like 5-10 years.

I had a post up for months trying to trade. No one was interested i was offering my seats AND 500$ cash for coral red.

And i dont care how they hold up in 5 years i doubt ill ever own a car that long :P But so far 6 months later looking good.

All look good but stitching, so how to avoid dying stitching? stitching have to be in contrast, otherwise seats and door panels don't look real look
