Interior Re-finishing

s3jwl · 12-01-2014, 08:45 AM

Hi All

I am new to the forum and CSL's. I purchased a 70k mile car last week which needs a little TLC to get the interior as i want it .

Can anyone recommend somebody to re-upholster the steering wheel, console between the back seats and back of the driver and passenger seat .

I was think of having the seats and steering wheel plastic painted or wrapped and there are a couple of german companies on ebay who cover the steering wheels .

I can buy all of the parts new although a thousand quid for something that doesn't really need doing and just me being a fussy git .

I'm in the process if fitting brand new disks and pads all round ( OEM BMW ) as they are quite rusty. The rears are good condition ( pads nearly new ) other than rust if anyone is interested in the old. The front ones are grooved quite badly .

Any help appreciated

Thanks and love the car. A 10 year old car shouldn't be this good ?!

just buy the carbon bits from Mark on here. They look fab.

Bit of a stickler for the standard look i'm afraid although appreciate the advice. Ciao

you did mention wrapped. Though you were looking for carbon look or something.

If you intent to respray, they are quite easy to do. I resprayed my door handles and smg surround. Was easy and never looked back as they still look fresh and OEM.

do you know what colour code i need to use, if i get it resprayed. i think spraying sounds like the best idea to me.

Thanks again

Shimmy had some interior parts sprayed, I'm sure he will tell you where. No one has managed to do the seat backs
