1M Gauge Cluster Hood Color

[Dylanize]

Hi guys, does anyone know if the 1M Gauge hood stitching will match coral red interior? Or is it a different color red?

It is Kyalami Orange if I remember.

Better to do a custom hood if you're trying to match. 1M stitching is orange, not red.

Would look super weird IMO.

Redline shift boots makes a lot of stuff for the 135i. Not sure if they ever made the hood but there was talks of them doing. I was the test car for the door pulls, shift boot, ebrake boot, and dash trim. all of mine is wrapped in alcantara with grey stitching to match my Space Grey car. I wanted it to look similar to the 1M but with matching stitching and that's exactly how it came out. Ive had it on since 2012 with no issues.

Did Redline Goods shift and brake boot on mine in black leather. Would do door pulls and dash trim in leather too, but I like my aluminum trim. Great quality stuff. Been using them for all my cars for YEARS. No issues.

Never heard of redline, I don't see a gauge hood, however their other products are sweet! How hard is the install?

I'm from Europe and got it from Germany. Quite a popular mod in Germany. I could hook you up, but the shipping costs are very high.

Not bad at all. I did a whole write up here on what I did and how I did it. It came out nice and still looks brand new today.

That's awesome, I'll probably end up getting the door pulls and center trim.

So you get to pick the material and color stitching?

Thanks a ton!

Yep that's exactly how it works. And you can pick if you want double stitching or some other cool options, its really customizable.

Pretty sure everyone else would like to know where to get these. I'm sure a few of us would consider paying for international shipping.

He is a member of a German 1 Series forum of which I am a member and where I found him. He had two clusters in stock at the time. Costs about €120 (-39 if you send him your old item).

google Redline shift boots. I don't know the rules about posting links to non sponsors. They make a bunch of stuff for the 135 but someone said they don't make the hood cover.
