My 325i Cab - updated red leather interor - finshed!! update

[goldysingh]

looks fab... was it in a form of a aerocel can or spray gun.....(if spray gun i guess you used a compressor?)

Mini compressor, supplied in the package but i would recommending using a proper compressor to get a better finish.

Be interesting to see how the the finish last's. I've seen some that start to crack and show the previous colour after a couple of months

no chance of seeing the previous colour, it was removed before putting the red on. Wont crack either, will keep the leather well fed.

I was looking to to do something similar with mine, wanted white with green inserts , but was put off by some interiors i had seen that had this treatment done, maybe wasn't done properly

Goldy cab looks brilliant especially the interior....So let me get this rite you dyed the colour of your originally grey leathers to red? Coz if this is the case Im seriously gonna have to think about doing my black leathers to red

Up close do the seats look as good as the previous finish or does it look dyed?
And have you encountered any problems with colour coming off or anything?

Yep, removed the old coulour using chemical solution and a scourering pad, then applied the colour, leave to set, apply another coat and leave to set, then you seal the colour using colour sealant, no fading or rubbing so far!

Up close it looks as good as perfect, it is origional leather paint so will give you the best finish.

Take a look on their web site, everything is explained on there.

I still havnt replaced my roof yet,it's here ready to go on,but I just havn't got around to it! Just like the leather and everything else on the car!

I just want to restore the original colour to the seats! I get worried about the scotchbrite part of the process!

The scotchbright freaked me out too but isn't really that bad, it only removed the colour, leather isn't damaged at all.

Get that roof on and get some pics up!

Why is it 2 keyholes on the passenger door?

[goldysingh]

Why is it 2 keyholes on the passenger door?

You mean the drivers side door

It is some kind of old style imobilser iirc..

Read up the post someone mentioned that.

[Rav335uk]

It was an imobiliser for the cabs, worked of a special magnetic key.
I still have the key for mine but the imobiliser doesnt work as its diconnected.

[Forsman]

Haha, yes of course..
You tards drive on the other side... ;)

[goldysingh]

now finished

[Alex]

all it needs is a red carpet, i'am sure you can get dye if you fancy doing it

looks awsome though

[goldysingh]

that's the next step, anyone know where to get red dye from?

[Ollie_bwoii]

Looking awesome and iwll look even better with a red carpet! Although imo a black centre consol would be better!

Just a quick one, looking to order from website - what colour code did you go for and what finish did you use please?


thanks.

[ImysE30]

Looks awesome now mate

I think a black centre console would look better than red IMO A bit too red

A set of rear headrests would finish it off nicely
