TBF £78 isn't bad for OEM mats.

Range Rovers are around £130 iirc
Saab's are (sorry, were!) about £90 - 100
and there was another manufacturer who charged ridiculous prices for mats, but can't remember who -was a client of mine a couple of years back.

Looking forward to progress on the start button mate, very cool

Its all cash at the moment. Im debating still wether to swap it for that red one. I shall speak to my Dad see what his musings are. Always makes me see sense.

They are good quality and have all the proper BMW fixings with them so should look spot on

Looks cool. Do you not have one or is yours damaged. I still think you should keep this one. I like the black. Just out of curiosity how big is the list of jobs for this one?

No exhaust. Sounds good as it is. Plus its capable of sitting on a Mway at 80mph in complete silence.

Mines not too loud on a motorway plus you have interior & sound deadening to drown it out, stop being a pussy

No point in spending the money tbh I like it how it is. Rather spend the cash on a hardtop paint and a new tear window.

Also if you want bids I'll have to sort some out

More pictures. Took some as the seat is coming out tommorow.

old handrest coming out inplace of the armrest:





Crappy drivers seat, old worn out, doesnt recline properly, creaks and isnt very comfortable




Worn bolster:







Had my private plate fitted back on:




(Can see here i need a brake duct and fog light lens)

Going to scrape these off as they look proper 1980's




Heres a shot of the passenger seat, notice how the belt hook/handle works still



Few shots of the car in the snow:

If i get time these are being replaced tommorow:



Chrome replacements on previous pages
