Hi folks,

Here's some pictures of the my recently acquired (from ebay) M3 interior, now fitted to my 325 8)
Before you ask the fake wood on the door trims is coming off (someones idea of class :oops: ). I just don't know how to remove the glue that will be left behind :roll:

The car going in after easter to have various rust spots sorted out. Got a quote for Ԛ£1300 - not bad since this includes cutting out and replacing the rear arches, sorting a rather large hole behind the rear bumper, doing both of the sills, a patch on the boot lid and also a small ding on the near side wing. Should come back looking like new since whatever panels are touched get resprayed :D Can't wait!

Willow.

Try panel wipe, it's what bodyshops use to remove back to black gunk tar spots and all sorts from bodywork, I used it to get rid if the glue left by a couple or rear window stickers, try it on a small area first make sure it doesnt damage your leather. It just what I would used, very small amouts though. Other than that ask your local retrimmers.

Okay, I'll give that a go - where can I get it from?
