1M alcantara trims installed

[dr.bmw]

Very happy with the result! The aluminum highlights were OK as a matter of fact I preferred them to very old fashioned wooden trims but alcantara trims with its orange stitching and superior feel I think looks classier and goes with the colour scheme better. The aluminum gear and ash tray surrounds remain for now and I'm undecided if it will look better with a piano black surround or just leave it as is.
List of exchanged panels includes door handles, accent strip, instrument cluster hood, gear shift gaiter and hand brake gaiter

Didn't know you were selling your set, where did you get them from?

You selling those blacklines you bought off Josh also?

I'd be all over these if they came in white stitching to match my wheel! Looks really good though OP - matches the Red Leather quite well

Daz, I got them out of Germany! They weren't cheap! Look out on the forums and eBay they pop up every so often! Nope the black lines I'm keeping I have a genuine carbon diffuser if your interested!

The 1M bits look great, a 1M wheel would top it off imo

To many colors IMHO

yeah if the aluminum gear surround could be changed for a darker trim or maybe upholstered in alcantara it would reduce the colour mismatch. As is I feel it is much better than the original aluminum highlights everywhere. And don't forget the premium feel!

Because you have the performance brake and gear stick, I'd probably only change the door handles trim.

I'm ordering some alcantara in soon just looking for a supplier if you want to jump on board ?

what about the hood on the dash that goes over the instruments?

[Tab135]

Any motor trimmer can wrap this! I figured I liked the performance stitching more so I'd opt to go that way instead! So ill buy the gear and hand brake gaitor and get the dash done
