( Now with pictures ) Alcantara Binnacle/Cluster Hood Cover

[Walnut]

I'm very interested in alcantara to match existing BMW performance gear, plus my electronic steering wheel (v1), which has the alcantara grips. Do you have a rough price guide? Are you expecting to send out the cover for us to fit ourselves?

1. KD135 - Alcantara ( Silver/Grey stitch )
2. PeteA - Alcantara ( Silver/Grey stitch )
3. Harlequin - Black Leather ( Black stitch )
4. Eddie135 - Black Leather ( Red stitch )
5. jorge135 - Alcantara (Red stitch)
6. Walnut - Alcantara (Silver/Grey stitch)

Depending on how many get on boar initially will obviously play a big factor as the labour will just be divided up, plus material or what not, im aiming for a figure of $300/$350 it may be expensive but its a much cheap option for us than the 1m gauge cover at $700 from a BMW stealership EX-Germany.

And with these you can almost have whatever you want which is awesome.

I spent some time with the trimmer last night as he is also wrapping my whole dash for me in alcantara and we have come up with a price, the first binnacle/cluster hood cover will be Leather as the alcantara is still a week away. i will update the First post with bank details,

Thankyou to PeteA he is the first person to send funds

As per the first page:

Update: 07/06/13

Morning all,

Enough interest has been shown towards these so these will now become full steam ahead, the Black Alcantara material is still another week away so i am told so those that wont the Alcantara will have to wait a little longer.

After speaking with James the Trimmer last night he seems to think he can turn these around in a day which is great. Which means it should be a one week turn around time if your not located in Perth.

For those that wanted the Leather dash they will be getting started as soon as i have received payment.

Payment will be $350 to the following:

Paypal:
kdd1919@hotmail.com

Bank Deposit:
Name: Kristian D
Bank: National Australia Bank
BSB: 086334
ACC: 823380585


The list we have so far is as follows, i will update this for those that want to come on board and for those that have paid.

1. KD135 - Alcantara ( Silver/Grey stitch ) PAID
2. PeteA - Alcantara ( Silver/Grey stitch ) PAID
3. Harlequin - Black Leather ( Black stitch )
4. jorge135 - Alcantara (Red stitch)
5. Walnut - Alcantara (Silver/Grey stitch)

Sounds good!

Look forward to it

[Eddie135]

Sorry KD135, I have decided to opt out at this stage.

I am going for CF route instead.

Thanks for your help.

[Tab135]

CF dash cover Wow interesting. no problem.

I said I was interested when it was an EOI... Still interested but would like to see something in the way of pics... Not a fan of buying "sight unseen".

Even if it's just pics of previous, similar work that this guy has done.

Also, $350 seems high for what is effectively 1/2sqm of leather/alcantara and labour...

[Tab135]

this isnt just a slip on cover, and the labour is really not cheap at all, nor is material.
here is some alcantara stufff he did in a local sti:

[cat-like]

Hey KD, I'm in Perth.

I'm not interested in the alcantara but this has got me thinking about perhaps doing something with the trim to add a touch of individuality in my coral red interior, but I'm not sure what yet......

Any chance I can see this guy and talk about some ideas? I'm always happy with a referral

[PeteA]

I'll post some pics when mine arrives as well

[Tab135]

Sure Pm me and ill gladly pass his details across.

yeah Comi?

I can vouch for his work.

retrimmed my E30 M3 seats....great job!!

[Tab135]

Yeah your on the money, his work isnt cheap but you cant fault it.

[TheSt|G]

Looks like he does nice work for a good price, I don't see what the fuss is about. Very tempted by the cluster cover. Would he have any interest in redoing V1 electronic BMW performance steering wheel alcantara?

[maupineda]

What does the 350 include? A new hood? Or existing one has to be sent over?

[Tab135]

its exchange so, you send me one ill send you one back, ive a acquired a few now so the turn around times will be really quick.

[Tab135]

for those that are on board with this here is the progress on the alcantara, it should be here within a week i think.

[Tab135]

The alcantara has landed in Perth, PeteA ill be contacting you soon for delivery details.
