The Phoenix
In this entry, exposed black plastics are the enemy. The backrests get painted and accessories are recovered in Alcantara. I document our design choices and the selected customization processes.
In this entry, we turn our attention to the Sportster's backrest and accessories, exploring opportunities to augment the Strada's profile. We then disassemble the seats for upcoming customization work.
In this entry, we cut into the original Sportster CS foam and fill in other sections to set the foundation for the new Strada CS covers.
In the first entry to this Series, I discuss the intentions behind creating the Strada CS for my E46 M3 as part of the Bespoke Recaro seat program. I take you through the iterative design process of creating luxury.
The previous owner of my E46 M3 simply didn't bother replacing the OE plastic undertray section: it wasn't even there. I'll be doing it once and I'll be doing it right by documenting and fitting the Performance Aluminum Skidplate. It promises durability, and cooling benefits.
