Interior Seats:
(looks nice and clean, trust me its not!) :nono:
The interior had seen better days since getting the car, being a light colour it gets dirty rather quickly, this actually put me off the car as soon as I saw it as I had OCD lol. The drivers bolster needed some work and some colour restoration on the passenger side. There seemed to be a mark in the seat aswell so not sure what this was. The rears were pretty much mint.
A friend of mine John who owns
had worked on my previous cars and did a full custom
so had to go see him for the work to be done. I asked him about the passenger side seat and he told me that the mark is the occupancy sensor coming through the leather, which required heating up and moving back down and the the leather re-coloured and restored.
I left the car with John for afew days to work his magic.
Key fob:
Ordered a new keyfob and decided to send it John to re-stitch in Lemon yellow to go with the rest of the car theme..
Interior Parts:
I had got another M Sport steering wheel as mine had bad wear on one side and emailed Jack @
about some work to be done.
- Retrim Steering wheel in Alcantara with Yellow/Lemon Stitching and add yellow stripe
- Retrim Binnacle in Alcantara with Yellow/Lemon Stitching
- Retrim Gearknob and Gaiter in Alcantara with Yellow/Lemon Stitching
- Retrim Handbrake and Gaiter in Alcantara with Yellow/Lemon Stitching
Steering Trim:
I decided I wanted the wheel to be something special to fit in with the car and one-off lol and bought a trim piece which was from an individual model. I got speaking to a company to make me a badge which would fit straight into the original trim piece and look OEM, afew emails back and forth and had the part sorted out
Door sills:
On my E36 I had some custom made Hartge door sills and wanted something similar in the 1er. After browsing the tinterweb I found out that there was some special lifestyle version of the 1 series coupe released in Europe somewhere and found out that they had some special door sills. I wasn't sure if they would fit the hatch version so risked it and was chuffed when they fitted without too much hassle
