Very hard to find a set in 18"

They look different as the offset is different to the 17's, fill the arches up nicely.

Agree on tacky!

Am loving the look with the roof down.

Was up in Hounslow on saturday night, got so many looks in the car. Is amazing how many people still apreciate a good old e30.

Hi there mate, seats looking gorgous. Just wanted to know, how long does it take to do this process? Also do you have to peel the leather off the seat frame or can you do it in situ??

Cheers!!!

Are you thinking of recolouring your black set? They will look better than if you retrim them IMO

Hi mate, no need to dismantel the seats, just take them out, take of the plastic scrouding and mask the rest up, it will probably take 2-3 full days to get the best results. Best not to rush to be honest, results are good compared to getting them reconnolised. A retrim would obviously be the best way to get new seats but that costs a lot more. Over all I am happy with the results.

Was wondering when it got converted to manual!

I have got to say, it is the best e30 I have owned and I've had 5.
It drives spot on, no rattles and no knocks.
Just needs a little tidy up on the body and it will be mint.

Respray next on the cards. Lachs silver or sebring grey?? what do you think?

I know what you mean, it ends up looking like a really good quality seat cover, but paint will look factory. What do you think, is oxblood better in a white cab, or imola red??
