    My 325i Convertible

    Its been a bit of a turn around with this car compared to how I got it.

    It's a June 1990 325i in Brilliantrot with Shadowline.
    Has factory A/C, Climate Control, Intensive washers, and headlamp wipers with headlamp leveling.

    But still my ongoing project to try bring it back close to its former glory.

    One interesting thing that came with the car was two rubber mats for the dashboard.

    I see now the one behind the ashtray could do with a clean :-)

      Looks like it cleaned up pretty good!

        Paint came up nicely.

        Did you replace the softtop, or were you able to recondition the material?

          Are those rubber dash inserts OEM?

            I was able to clean it up. Vacuumed the worst of it off them a lot of cleaning, then eventually put a waterproofing treatment on it afterwards.

              Nope, seem to be made by an Italian company called GeV, never seen them before.

              Looks like the company is still around www.gev.it
