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 ?

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.

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
Did my motorcycle seat, in the middle of the car job too. Same leather

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.
