Would be interested to hear what product you used on the leather and where you got it from?

Keep up the good work

Thanks Squintstream.

If you're on msport and non rfts then you can close your eyes and get h&rs (sport not race). Its a perfect drop, ride quality about 95% the same as msport.

You truly went all out getting your car ready in time for Gaydon! But it was worth it mate!

And i want to say a thank you for keeping me at it late into the evening on Saturday night too. I wouldnt have made it to Gaydon otherwise!

I look forward to seeing your future plans mate!

Your car has come along way! You must be happy as it is looking great!

Hey Josh...you guys were amazing with the encouragement! Thanks

What was the trick to getting the clear coat to work on the interior trim? I fell in love with the piano black trims everyone was rocking and am tempted to have a go... I know getting the clear coat right is going to be the key for this to work!

well the clear coat is about 80% right by my standards if I'm honest. What I did differently was more or less the complete opposite of the base coat. I put the first coat on fairly heavy and then re-coated in 10 mins.

How much [extra] money did your insurance company want to cover all your modifications?

[ErzenE92]

Car looks great, what dye did you use for the seat, I need to do the same to the driver side.

Cheers...needed something to set off the front so went with the lip. You were the first to recommend it to me at Gaydon. I got the m3 side skirts painted and tried fitting them but they need a bit of work to the tabs at the bottom. The e93s are slightly different to the e92s. Dips is gonna work his magic.

Thanks. No I didn't open them...Josh opens them up. All i did was paint the internal bits when he gave them to me.

[Josh1a1h]

Mate! Your car is looking worthy of the effort you have put into her!!! You must be bloody happy!!!

That lip looks mean! Definitely sets off the front end!

The Pic of you 3 lads Whoring your cars looks awesome with the LED Angel Eyes
