Excuse poor quality - taken in garage without any prep (dec 2012):
Prepared BMW Performance sport seats:
I totally refuse to pay hundreds or thousands of EUR just to have proper orange stitching. So i decide to use basic textile pen and colour existing white stitches this way. And voila - it works like charm! Trying to remove color with hot water or mechanicaly without success.
Here you can see my choice of orange textile pens. All of them cost 5 EUR (togheter) and worked the same way. Orange color immediately catch on thread and didnt affect leather around. Of course it is not exactly Kyalami Orange. But in real you barely can spot the difference.
Prepared Akrapovic catless downpipes:
Prepared Forge intercooler:
Prepared Forge Recirculation Valves (black). Virtualy they are identical to original BMW valves but made of T6-6061 billet aluminum alloy instead of plastic.
