its difficult to tell. with the whole dash covered it might just be a bit over the top, but if your getting a white steering wheel anyway, you might as well go the whole way.
what you got so far looks really good.

Read my 1st post again mate. It's not my car. Thsi is a car my mate just trimmed. It's a standard E36 cab so you're right, it might have been too much to have everything covered. In my car it will look off key with only bits covered and that's exactly why i'll have all my dash covered when i get mine done

Errm No G. I'm retiring after this. When i bought the Msport, it was going to be a normal round around for the summer so i didn't drive the Rieger all the time, but now that's gone completly out of hand as well, so it's defo going to be my last mad project. I'd like a E36 M3 Evo cab at some point though

Yeah, but the 1.6 lump you have in it isn't
Get an interior like this and it might make a difference

woah, thats a lot of piping. I'd seriously consider reducing the amount/thickness of piping on your motor.... mebbe try it in photoshop first?

I tried to persuade the customer to have the whole lot done but he couldnt visualise it..Then..when he came to collect it yesterday..he really likes it but then said that I was right and he shoulda got it all done..
He's re booked for us to do the rest but we can't do it until after max so he'll have to wait..It;s his own fault for not listening..lol
