So this week I finally decided to put the interior back together.
First order or business was the c-pillar covers, the vinyl had separated from the actual cover. It looked horrible when looking through the rear window into the car. Turns out that you have to take out the rear side windows to remove the c-pillar covers...:loco: I had these recovered to look OEM

the next thing that bothered me where the miss matched door panels... I bought the car with grey cloth door panels in the front and extended leather one's in the rear. the original plan was to pick up extended leather front panels, unfortunately I couldn't find any for sale!
What I did find where some 100% mint black vinyl panels. No scratches, tears or indents... they look 100% factory new. So I made a compromise and bought these to have everything look nice and tidy...:D

after:
the carpet was completely cleaned and it was time to put the freshly refinished seats back in. I spent the time to fix / refinish a bunch of little things in the interior... I would say that now it is about 90% perfect!

Love seeing updates on this car. The pictures in post #125 look like a perfect setup, carbon flap on the rear spoiler and think front splitter would be the only things I would look to add. Inside, original premium sound speaker covers on the rear deck and the chrome rings around the instruments removed would be two things I'd do away with.
Are you going to bring it to the E30 M3 Treff in Geiselhoering this year? Largest E30 M3 meet in the world if I'm not mistaken.. definitely in Europe.
Viele Gruesse aus Muenchen... mach weiter so :up:Einige Autos dürfen nicht runter gehen... einfach weil sie so spezial sind. - Wenn man von BMW's der '70 und '80 Jahre redet.
