Finally got my back seats done.
Just finished my rear seats. Two tone red and black, genuine leather. Dont mind the wrinkles on the pass side its from the child seat base.

These look really good. Did you take them to a dealer or a indy or a DIY?

Thank you sir did it all myself, about to start on the front seats. Its harder to figure out how to take seats out. They really made it hard for average person to find out how to take things off. Very complicated. But sewing itself is easy, got myself a industrial sewing machine. Actually enjoy doing it, leather quality is really good too, that i get.
My car is 6 years old with 40k on it and my front seat started to crack, What a shame for MB Thats what started all.

Wow... , personally it's not my style (but who the F cares what I think) but that is really well done!

You say it's easy, but how did you go about it?
did you buy the leather pre-cut, or did you "trace" the old leather ?

Yeah this is very impressive. I don't know if I've seen anyone else tackle this sort of job. WTG.

Got Cow red and black leather hides, took apart Original seats and trace out every piece, then sew them together.
Dont know why i picked red and black, but i guess i was hoping when i will sell the car, some lady will fall in love with it lol. And wanted to match the red to my brake calipers i guess. Who cares, at least its not the garbage that Mercedes sells us, That stuff stinks.

Thank you for all the comments

Wait, you bought hides and an industrial sewing machine, have no prior experience in upholstery, and you did that?!? If so, then that is by far the moist impressive DIY I have ever seen. Somebody overhauling their transmission while blindfolded and using only cooked macaroni as tools would not be that impressive.

YES I do house remodeling, kitchens, bathrooms painting flooring. Upholstery is not my thing, I thought im going to mess up. But I did my work van first and it came out pretty good so I did my E350 and i was surprised how nice it came out Mercedes been doing for decades and this is my 2nd job. So i guess i did alright. And it actually relaxing me, love doing it, just like cooking lol

Wow, beautiful work. Love the matching red stitching. Last time I did my own seats, my hands were all cut up by the sharp metal edges.
You did great work.

Lol that caliper paint thing was for a different thread, but thanks for replying. Looks like you did a really nice job on your calipers, the stock ones on my car are really ugly and since I changed rims they're easy to see. Hopefully I'll get around to painting them soon.

I would personally not go for the red though but maybe white stitching or something. But great job all the same.

How much to do my E300 2014?

You can get any color leather or the thread. I just chose red to have it bright and pop. eather way you look at it its 10 times better than MB tex.
Id be happy to do it for you, but in order for me to do it, i would have to have the seats here.
PM me your info where you located, maybe we can work something out.
Thanks for the nice comment
