Thx raul, i am very happy with the result, the guys at ninestitch.com were helpful and pretty accurate from the original picture i sent to help in the restoration.

Since alpina seats are black, i get a set of black carpets, still needs rear bench and floor carpet. Tomorrow i will take out rear bench and clean and install this set up.

Black will go well with your Alpina interior bits.:up:

Today i make several changes, first of all i took my old, but in very good condition rear bench.


To be honest, all black rear bench available near me are crap, so i took the chance with the vynyl paint and keep my good condition rear bench. This will not be permanent since my main goal is to find alpina cloth for them (if i ever get lucky enough).





I did like the outcome, so i became a little maniac with the spray can. :-) (btw i didnt notice how dirty that was until i take it out lol)







I also clean the door carpets

Those are e36 sports seats with alpina cloth, that are oem on B8's, the CS recaros came on e34,e24 and early e36 b6 2.8 92-93, and by the cloth, i think my recaros are from e36 b6 2.8 like this picture.

lol thx.

I always try to keep her in shape and i focused on the exterior, its time to redo the interior now, it was in pretty good original condition, but at last i found a set of alpina sport seats, so there is no other choice than move to black for now.

Yes indeed, i got pretty impressed with the finish, and i try to peel the paint out and cant, good product for a 8.99 spray can.
