faz's interior swap

Sorry if you mentioned in the thread and I missed it, but where did you get the leather trimmed dashboard and centre console? I really like that look as an alternative to vynil wrapping or repraying.
I think your interior looks great, its a shame you have to sell the car but I'm sure the maths work with a move to Dubai!!

Hey bony,
I got all the leather trim items from ebay as it goes. the handbrake gaitor, gear gaitor and centra console trim came ready cut, stitched and trimmed from these guys (check all their auctions for the three separate items):
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RED-STITCHING-CENTRE-CONSOLE-TRIM-LEATHER-SKIN-COVER-FITS-BMW-Z4-E85-03-11-/390811724658?fits=Model%3AZ4&hash=item5afe31ab72
For the dash trim, I just contacted them direct and explained what I needed. requested a single piece of leather about 130cm in width and 25cm in height in black colour with a single stitch line across the centre.
When it arrive I cut and trimmed it myself to fit the dash. All the install I did. bare in mind that the gear gaitor is easy to install. the handbrake a little more difficult, the centre console even more so, and the dash is an outright pain in the ass to install. still worth it I think.
All in the leather bits cost around £140 delivered. That said when you do ALL of them as I have done it does make a big difference to the interior finish.

Vanne, very familiar with it already as it goes, I used to Live in Dubai about 5 years back (also lived in Germany and Qatar) I get about a bit!
Got my eye on this, fancied something a little larger than the zed for the wider and straighter roads out there....
