leather trim - Update - with pics, page 4

Well I dropped my trim off at the trimmers yesterday.

After looking at his selection of leather I have opted to go with black leather and a red stitch to match the seats. (poll decided the stitch colour)

I have seen a lot of dashes wrapped in the carbon effect leather and thought this will be a little more unique.

I really hope I have done the right thing, will find out Friday when I collect the completed dash.

Someone reassure me I have made a good decision lol

Thanks Austin,

Full pics will be added next Friday night when I get the car back together :) If it goes back together with the extra thickness of the leather now on the panels :|

Yeah I am a bit, after browsing "Z4 leather dash" on Google I changed my original plan. Fingers crossed it works out :cry:

Looking good, the only concern i have is getting it back together with the extra thickness of the leather. Around the right switch, ash tray and head unit/fans.

Guess we will find out tonight if it goes back together.
 
As long as they skiv the edges and joins - had to do the spokes on my wheel myself, without skivving there would have been large gaps. I would expect that any retrimmer will skiv the leather so you should be fine.

Cool, should be back together tonight, will be picking it up at 6
 
Well i picked the dash up from the trimmer yesterday, currently having a little problem getting the smaller dash piece to near the light switch but will take another look at the weekend.







If the piece wont fit at the weekend it will be stripped and thrown away with a lesson learnt :headbang:
 
Looks great! I presume it's the thickness of the leather causing you issues for the light switch panel? Do you know if the guy thinned the leather at all? What is the rest of the fitment like and how much was the total outlay in the end? Sorry for the Spanish inquisition but it would be nice to find these things out.
