[Blitz]

Thats nice. BBS's look mint. I'm tempted to get a 2 door.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Blitz you want to own any BM besides yours!

BTW Alex I can't really laugh as i have never tryed to do either!

[Alex]

Thats nice. BBS's look mint. I'm tempted to get a 2 door.

Thanks, BBS were all refurbed 9-10 month ago, its just rarely there that clean. Give it a few year and get a 325i

[ImysE30]

Very nice

[Nath325i]

That looks stunning mate, theres something about a tidy white e30

[Alex]

Will be fitting this lot tomorrow

[Ollie_bwoii]

That is going to look awesome! Its such a nice feeling getting a new interior!

What are you going to do about door cards?

[sweep]

I have a good pair of grey vinyl quater panels if needed.

[Alex]

Door cards are behind in the background, bought some today of steve

[E30BeemerLad]

Looks a nice old bus that mucka.

Tip for the photography, take pics later in the day when the light is not so bright

[Alex]

or take pics directly into the light

[Blitz]

They look mint.

[Alex]

there not perfect but there a very good buy for £150

i cant seem to open the arm rest on rear though

[ImysE30]

Give it good pull

They'll look very nice in the IS

[wheelie_lv]

very shiny and clean nice!

[djk]

i cant seem to open the arm rest on rear though

They do get sticky without use. If you can get your hand in to grip the metal part of the mechanism you ought to be able to pull it down without buggering the foam, then remove it and get the WD40 out on the joints.

Bloody bargain at £150 - I hate you, bloody nice car and it probably owes you less than its value!

thanks will give that a go and see if i can get it to fit

got interior fitted today but need a drivers door card as the one i got is completly warped and doesnt even fit, the top just sticks right out, wont bend back either

Ive spend over 2k easily on the car, its a keeper though. I might even dye the leather black yet, there is a zoner in Darlington who has a leather re colour spray kit.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Still want to see some pics Alex, don't think ive seen white and grey combo before!

[Alex]

was pitch black when i finnished

[Ollie_bwoii]

Camera has a flash!

Are you pleased? Don't sound it by the talk of black dye?

[Alex]

No i like it but it would look good black.



I will go take a picture now if it makes you happy

[Ollie_bwoii]

It would look good black, but grey is different!

[Alex]

sorry for crap pics

[Ollie_bwoii]

WOW

But At the rear part of the carpet!

[Alex]

aye still dyed black

the door cards and seats need a bloody good scrub though to get to my standards

[doc323]

Wow those seats are in great condition, would it not be a shame to dye them?

Thats just what colour i want, but i have a black car.
