Used Glipton ScuffMaster; here the pictures before and after (don't seem to be able to get the picture stay in the right sequence :oops: )
Looks good! I need to do that to my seats, is there a special colour I need to order or is it just a generic black? Thanks!
Thanks gmorris03,

The dye is specific to the Z4M interior: I sent them the bmw code I found on this site:

[url]http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=24#colors[/url]

In my case it is LSSW and they sent me the dye (a full repair kit with cleaner, degreaser, dye, satin finish fixing spray and conditioner) that seems to be a perfect match; I’m very pleased with the results!

Hope it helps!

The standard plastic one will cause problems over .8 bar of pressure so I hear so this plenum won’t I am using the plastic manifold that bolts to the head joining that with the blue silicone houses. The plenum is tapered to try and insure equal forced air to each cylinder.
