Wrapped my center console trim in leather

1slowbmw · 11-25-2012, 11:06 PM

it something that ive wanted to do for a while so i decided to do it and its the best interior mod i have ever done, it feels amazing and came out great besides around the idrive controller. i didnt sand it down enough to allow for the added material, ill fix it at some point. idk why suede looks purple in pictures but it obviously isnt purple

Does having your seat warmer on make your car faster?

What kind of adhesive did you use?

What was the original trim?
