You can imagine the jokes coming from the family on me doing this,

the missis insisted to snap a pic of me doing this to use against me next time I ask her to fix a shirt button :roll:

Oh and thanks for the compliments guys
Both good and bad
While I understand this isn't for everyone some of us do like the little finishing touches that make the car a little more unique,


I will be re-searching this "extended" extended leather thing,
Might start small and work my way up, Ive never done any leather work before so it might take some time and research but I think it will be worth it if I can make it good,

I really want that center part of the console covered first, It bothers me that I spent $2700 on the "extended leather" option and the top 2 parts of the console are still plastic and pretty much the entire interior is leather!


These 2 parts I'm talking about, The middle console door flap and the piece above it are black plastic but the 2 "ends" are covered in leather

Looks great Matching the steering wheel colours was definetly the right choice.
If you learn how to do the extended leather stuff maybe you can start going peoples dash trim pieces :wink: I wonder if you could get hold of BMW's carbon leather....
