Not far from warrington.Interior needs cleaning up tho some one in the past thought it would be a good idea to paint grey leather seats to pass them off as red and its starting to crack and wear off.
That can be fixed with alittle graft,i found a company that sells akit to profesionaly dye and seal them.
I presume that it had a red one originaly because the carpet is a washed out wine colour.
Any one know about these and is there any where i can get new carpets?

Took somemore pics today.I fitted a sebring exhaust system off an e36 the other week sounds well nice,took a bit of cutting and shutting tho.need to cut bumber a bit more tho to hide hook up and re wire it to get rid of that ugly wire.Also going to have to cut out a tail pipe piece off a 6 pot to make it look better than a square cut out.

I've just used one of these kits to recolour the leather in my cab and is come up spot on only lasts about six years or so they claim.

As for a carpet try placing an add in the wanted section cab carpets and saloon carpets are the same I recon someone way rip your arm of for the red carpet.

6 years worth of wear is worth a couple off days graft and £100.
I dont want to change the colour of the carpet i`d just like a nice cleaner one.Tempted to take it out and give a good soak and clean but i dont think her in doors would to happy if i stuck it the bath :eek:
Thinking of making the leather an original bmw red,cardinal i think it is?
