:cool: thanks all for the comments, this will be a easy jod to do as it only requires the hood ,hardtop, centre caps, and other then that try to keep it standard will be hard thou, i have plenty to do on the tech 1 thou, i have seen a few but this is a stunner, will give it a good wash and a wax,

lovely looking cab you have there.
Genuine motorsports are becoming harder to find these days, so please keep it straight as it was meant to be.

yes these are very hard to get hold of these days and i have purchased this one to totaly mint it out and keep it standard, will only be adding some german plates,hardtop, and some rear headrests, and that chould do it, i moded the other cabs i had but they were standard 325i's, this is special, will post more pics have stripped the interior to give it a good clean and dye the seats to get rid of the small cracks,

While you got the seats out i'd dye the carpet black aswell... i know you've said you're keeping in stock, but i think it just makes the car look a bit more classy with the black carpet.

don't blame you...if i ever get my hands on one i'd keep it standard aswell....i'm probably going to get a normal 325 cabby next year, and get all my mods done on that so if the chance ever comes to own a motorsport or anything more special winkeye then i won't be tempted to change any of the originality that makes them so special.

Lucky Lucky Lucky, practically all M/S's i've seen have had the bubble leather pulled on the base of the drivers seat - yours is mint.

What did you use on the bolsters fella - i need to do the same to my wife's M/S??
