Looks brilliant, did you spay it all or did you use a sponge. I have a grey dash and after seeing yours i want to do mine. :-)

Avoided even looking at cars with this interior. Never though anybody would go to the effort of changing it.

Looks like your car never had creme dash.

When I bought the car the trim was the one I wanted, but soon got stalled with keeping it clean, don't think it's about the effort it's the challenge and the end result.

Had a play around spraying and with a sponge, once it had dried both areas looked the same so did it with a sponge,

[QUOTE=AWBimmer;15733010]Incredible mate! How long did it take to dye the lot?]


With drying took 2 days but do do the work was around 4 hours that's including the parts in plasti dip

Cheers rich I was a unsure when you were here, but that was only 1st coat I'm happy for now

It's a semi Matt finish, to look at it you would think it's just a black dash

No update really just been in for Mot, passed with no advisors
It's back off the road now as I've sent my instrument cluster off for some work doing, so I'm going to take the headlights back out and do some more work on them, should be back together sometime late next week.

[Dsport]

Front Lights are now blacked out and got my cluster back from M4rius



Big update on its way

[Dsport]

After putting my cream trim up for a swop I didn't get no takers with the same spec seats, so resorted to plan B, Been thinking about this for a while and last week I decided to go for it, so ordered an xl coral colour kit from the leather clinic, this is the 3rd trim I've done now so kind of getting used to the work involved,
I've so far done most of the rear so have are some pics enjoy

The kit






All prepped



















Didn't take too may pics as just got cracked on and every time I took a pic had to throw the gloves away
Will update as I go

[jammy78]

Mate, you got balls of steel!

[WRichieX]

Man I really want to do this but scared as hell to. Plus my seats are black. Probably won't come out the way I want it. As Jammy said, you got balls of steel my friend. Can't wait to see finished look.

[gaza01]

Wow!!
This has to be by far one of my favourite build threads!! Your DIY is just so awesome.

[JesseJames]

You nutter cant wait to see this

[Dsport]

Cheers Lads
Ha balls of steel I like that
Have finished most of the rear is now painted and sealed, needs 24 hours to go hard and a further 7 days to fully cure
Another pic

[richk84]

Massive respect Darren! When you first mentioned doing this I didn't think you would do it haha!

Need to get that spoiler to you mate but I've still not had chance to fit my new one!

[Dsport]

Cheers Rich
Was in too minds weather to leave it cream it not, then thought I may as well do it as wasn't 100% struck

There is no rush for spoiler as it will just make me want to paint and fit and got quite a few cars to do over next few week, did you get your squeek sorted

[richk84]

Had car booked in for today to get looked at but its been fine all week - strange!, so decided to cancel.

When its off I will drop you a text.

Bet you cant wait to get the seats back in the car

[BoondogUK]

you strike me as a man that is never satisfied! I loved the two toned cream... sad to see it go. But seeing the results you have previously created I have no doubt this will look just as awesome!

Love the do it yourself spirit!

[oliyaoe93]

Hats off.

Salute

[Dsport]

Managed to get a bit more done this weekend I finished and fitted the rear....
Then decided I don't like it it looked too shiny. The kit I ordered was a matt finish but me been me had some semi gloss so went with that in the rear, it's a nice finish but too shiny, way too shiny.
I'm going to take it back out and wet and dry it then reseal with matt, but for now I'm on with the front didn't realise what state the leather was in it was very grubby and I always give it a once over every month, anyway got on with it
So hers the pics









Armrest was a right pain

[bmwspeed01]

[mr-modster]

Where did you order the leather dye mate?. I have coral red seats with abit of wear id like to sort out cheers

[RS Grant]

That's crazy, but brilliant!! I'd love to change my black interior to red, but I don't have the skills/minerals to make it happen!!


Cheers,
Grant

[Cletus989]

[Dizzle]
