GPS Trackers

Has anyone used one of these? Found a few cheap ones on ebay and considered putting one in my 325 so I could 'track' it if it was to ever get pinched! (heaven forbid)

Heard mixed reviews so wondered if anyone had any experience?

Thanks

Re: Restoring Leather Seats

id say it took about 4 hours to sand each seat down, a further 2 hours applying the leather compound, an hour full clean, 2 hours sponging, 1 hour spraying colour, 2 hours laquer

Total about 11 hours per seat! Pretty ridiculous haha Thanks ppl
