The Schwarz Chromie - Just proud.

[Blitz]

Wow looks great.

[Dezzy]

Chromie's need blind shelfs. It's just a fact. Looks good, what did you use in the end?

[Ollie_bwoii]

I'm chuffed to bits with how it's turned out tbh, a good coverage and doesn't feel to much like as you put it Dez, an affro.

I ended up using a spray paint, but with flexible paint meant for plastics and fabrics that I found in Hobby craft.

It's a nice touch and I can't wait to get it fitted, but I need to do something for the holes where the seat belts come through.

[Dezzy]

Just use facelift plastic covers mate. They are different to our early shelfs. They will fit straight in. I think I have a spare pair I will send you down if you need?

[Ollie_bwoii]

That's very kind mate, but they won't fit. My belts come through the shelf in a "vertical" way, wheareas most come through a "horizontal" way.

Undecided what to do yet, but we'll see.

[JB88]

you've got to drop that thing man.
it looks like this

[Ollie_bwoii]

All in due course.

But seriously how does it look like that?

[JB88]

it doesnt. i just like to over exagerate things to make my point.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Ah right, ok.

[Bump]

Shocking video, but I now have remote central locking.

Ha ha possibly my favourite ever e30 video

Got to love the details

[Ollie_bwoii]

Details is everything. Optionmeister 4 pot turd in progress.

Got the shelf fitted today, looks a strange colour in the photo, but it's a much better match to the seats than the old one.



I have to say, getting them clips into the headlining was bloody nerve racking.

[Dezzy]

I have that job to do yet. My headlining is Black

[Ollie_bwoii]

It wasn't fun. You just hope you've worked out where the clips go properly and go for it.

However its been a sunny day today, and the blind hasn't half proved its use.





I like the colour of my headlining against my seats.

[Dezzy]

Me too.

My black one will go well against brand new leather recaro's I hope.

Matt showed me where they go. I will still be sh1tting myself though.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Yeh yours will look fab.

I just did one slit, not cut a hole. Worked out where they were using the fittings on the blind as a guide.

[Dezzy]

I might fit mine tomorrow after after seeing yours.

[E30BeemerLad]

I love your interior Ollie

[Ollie_bwoii]

I love your interior Ollie

Thanks lee..

I'll turn my attention to the outside once i've got my last little morsal for the passengers.

[Alex]

looks good

needs black headlining though, once you've gone black there is no going back. No 20 year old fag, puss, and sweat stained headlining for me

[Ollie_bwoii]

I am not changing the bloody headlining. Black would ruin it imo.

[gooner1]

Agreed Ollie, the World and his Dog are changing
to Black headlinings. Yours suits the Car down to the ground.
Incidentally, there is a picture on here somewhere that i spotted
today, Black saloon on Ronals. Very nice.

You dont have a roof so its doesnt count

[Ollie_bwoii]

I did see that car, and it did get me thinking....But as always I can't afford to be that extravagent.

Been meaning to ask you Rob, are you going to make it to DC10?

Alex, you can't honestly say you'd put a black headlining in there?

[Ranchero]

I've got a rear blind knocking about. Undecided about whether to put it in or not.

What's it actually for ?

[Ollie_bwoii]

I initially just put it in there as an optionmeister part, but I found it bloody useful keeping the sun from coming in the back window today.

However there is still 5 other windows for the sun to come in.

[Alex]

.

What's it actually for ?

Its for Doggin Innit

[Ollie_bwoii]

Its for Doggin Innit

Have you been to Northampton...

Seriously ? That wasn't even invented when these cars were manufactured.


Just goes to show how forward-thinking BMW were.

Looking very unlikely Ollie, got a fair bit to do on the Touring
for it,s re test.

[The_Diddler]

Nice addition to the morsel checklist Ollie

[e30topless]

shagging blind looks great Ollie

[TPS]

Nice looking interior there, the rear blind looks good, its missing 2 doors though

[The_Diddler]

its missing 2 doors though

I would have said the very thing, however he knows this already

[Ollie_bwoii]

Thanks guys.

I would happily have 2 more doors if it had bloody 6 cylinders.
