Hi, I'm new here. I recently found that some parts inside my e90 and the most critical area is the rear centre console which has a serious peel-off problem. Just wonder if I can order that part only from somewhere other than dealership in HK (I checked that it costs $1500 excl labour from them).

Thanks

Hi, I fully understand what you mean, what I did is pop it out and repaint it myself. It is not that difficult, just becareful you break the plastic snaps(I broke a few but still ok to reinstall it). If you wanna buy it, I suggest you check either Valiant (Mong Kok) or Deutschland Auto Spare Parts (To Kwa Wan).

Here are my little weekend project pics:

Just wonder what kind of paint you use and how to match the color?

I used "Tamiya" which suppose to be use on Modeling, I am unable to find the exact color to match my interior, I just use similar color tone and it ends up ok to me.

You can use the link below to see if any color matches your interior, hope it will help.

Tamiya model paint does last forever. I have some models i made 20 years ago, rub off the dust and they look fine!
