I typed in e92 alacantra but only real one that shows up is the weighted manual knob from bmw direct.. am I missing something?

Are you after the gear gaiter and handbrake cover? More come up with e90.

Noticed in your reply you spelt alcantara wrong? May be worth checking. Should see for £24.99 for both. If colours required not listed just mail them. They do all colours. Think they are called ' Top Gaitors'

If you want pm me and I'll send you link.

Thanks buddy, mailed them last night and they responded immediately! Will now think about coloubr combo.. hard when everything is black inside and the outside is silver...

Thinking orange stitching and black same as yours as it would match the orange interior lights but don't want it to look out of place lol on a non M car..

Think of you went orange you may need a splash of it elsewhere? Silver stitching looks nice maybe?

Snap regarding engine cover. Im planning on few orange bits ( calipers / engine cover/ wheels centres / interior stitching and getting some custom made stickers for the oem m badges that have a white / black / orange strip ///M

Just boy sure about shade of orange yet, matt, satin, bright gloss?

Well that's the current plan anyway!

Yeah, nice and subtle yet different! For me orange would stand out and if no plans on splashing orange here and there, no point on getting orange stitching IMO.

Yes Sir! For an M3, esp in black, I would certainly love to see that contrast! I was deliberating on painting mine orange (brakes) but decided to stay silver (hubs and calipers).. so I might go for a mixed orange silver engine cover and stay silver stitching inside lol...

Seriously looking forward to your build dude!!

Pleased your happy with wheel Steve. Awb - eBay.

Well spent the day getting ready for a little meet in Essex. (See other thread).

A couple of extra bits done. Main one being the induction kit is on.









Put my small number plates on, some black badges, and covered the chrome grill in black cf wrap as a temp measure. Also popped on a set of cf wing vents covers as a temp measure.



Not sure if I like the badges on this colour but should suit when the colour changes!





Both temp additions.



A new conti that holds air!

Also picked this up a a jolly nice fellow cutter ( hi Jamie) a miltek cat back exhaust.



Then to a friendly car wash for a quick once over and a 80 mile blast down to lakeside. Met some good lads. Few pics will be posted soon of our get together.

Nick, I don't understand, you seem to do a lot of mods that look really great may I add but then state they are temp? Can't see why you would not be happy with what you have done as it looks great.
Love your alloys but not sure on the pulled tyre look [ personal taste ] probably because I thought the BBS 20" LM's are the daddy. Keep up the great work though.

The main reason is i know exactly what mods I want and want to get the right parts eg correct weave on carbon, eg I want the front kidney grills, but as I don't like chrome it took 20mins to wrap. The cf side grills are a bad fit but I had them in the garage so until I source matching ones of good quality in 1:1 weave the are a temp fix.

Everything's coming off when it's wrapped so no big hassle.

Tyres a personal taste, but it's my thing!

Oh got you now. Yeh the tyres, I'm certainly not saying I do not like I just, rightly or wrongly, keep comparing everything to the LM's which are drop dead gorgeous. IMHO. Have you decided on a wrap colour?

One thing you will learn about Nick when you meet him is that he is anal as in a perfectionist.

The mods he has planned are awesome and the colour scheme not the actual wrap but the little extras is different but if done well is a winner

Wondered where you were going with the anal thing! I have a wife you know(!), but you pulled it back with the perfectionist bit. Great meeting you btw. Like your style!
