    Paging Nogaro Owners: Measurements Needed

    Hey Everyone:

    I am looking at installing some Nogaros but will want to reupholster the center inserts to stay true to my Impuls / Anthracite cloth interior.

    If you have Nogaros, could you measure the upper and lower inserts—top to bottom, left to right (for each). Trying to assess how much Impuls cloth I need and then figure out how to harvest the donors.

    Thanks in advance.

    Can't help with the measurements... but on that fabric front, I've never seen that fabric for sale. You might want to contact BMW Respored Seats (@bmwrestoredseats on Instagram) they might have a source for the fabric. They've had the fabric in stock before.

      Thanks, Liam. Yes, unfortunately G8AT (Implus Cloth) hasn't been remade (yet). Here's hoping . . .

      If the measurements work out, I am planning to find a donor seat of front or rear seats, then pull the skins to make the Nogaro inserts. It's a bold plan.

        I can do this tomorrow, if nobody else has yet.

          Could I trouble you to take these measurements when you have a second?

              Looks the back panel surface dimensions are roughly 18” x 11”, and the dimensions on the seating surface of the lower cushions combined is 18” x 14”

                Don't say that too soon, I have some stuff in the works right now, and it won't be white-labeled Replicate...

                I've already sourced the manufacturer of the OEM leather, sourced the plastic that shapes the seat cover and mounts it to the seat frame and also found a source for M-texture (F2AT) and a few other M fabrics. For now, I'm working on Impulse / Anthrazit (G8AT). I just haven't been able to put it all into fruition as I have been busy with school. But that will be changing shortly, and I can allocate more time to this.

                    If you manage to get a line on G8AT, hmu lmk. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. This would make you a legend in my
                    bok and beyond.

                      Samples are on the way from a potential manufacturer!!

                        Amazing. I have factory G8AT in my car if you don’t have stuff on hand and want me to compare for you.

                          No worries, luckily enough I have friends local to me who have both M-Texture and Impulse, so I will be able to compare the samples.

                            Ok, cool. Anxiously awaiting a side-by-side. Thanks again for doing this for the community dude.

                              Is the best place to get nogaros directly from cobra?
