Leather wrapped centre console!

jammy78 · 11-20-2013, 10:25 AM

Hi,

I really hated my cubed silver trim & I've being trying to find trim I like!

I got my hands on a M3 rear leather console (ashtray), so I've wanted to get the centre console in leather!

Anyway, after speaking to a few people & trying to source the genuine M3 leather BMW use - I decided to take it to a professional leather re-trimmers!

I purchased a genuine M3 ashtray cover (£40) & said to the owner - can you match this leather & wrap my console!?

2 weeks later, I have this........

I am so happy.... just waiting for my Black/Grey Wood Poplar trim to arrive = then interior done!

Only mod left to do is...... Josh's headlights!

Then the car is finished!?

Well maybe a newer steering wheel!?

Can you please let us know what the part number is for the leather ashtray
Lid is and who did the work on the console please?

Dsport · 11-22-2013, 02:08 AM

Very impressive, I'd love that finish in mine do you know if he glued it straight to the console or has it a layer of foam between.

CustomColours · 11-22-2013, 03:01 AM

Thats the leather I had jammy. Lol. We could have had this done months ago.

Glad its sorted now though.

Im not sure about this stuff but the leather I have is self adhesive so can be peeled off with no glue or marks left over.

AlanYoro35i · 11-22-2013, 03:29 AM

It makes the cic controller even more stand out!! Updates the interior so much!! 90quid for that...imagine how much a seat retrim would cost!!

I thought it was 'fake leather' you had?

I'm pretty sure it's glued as the leather had to be thinned for it to fit! It hasnt got foam underneath as again it'll be to thick! The ashtray still opens perfectly!

jammy78 · 11-22-2013, 04:18 AM

Actually it's made the silver trim more bearable:

Josh1a1h · 11-22-2013, 04:30 AM

I would usually say... do all the trim as it doesn't look finished... but this really works! The silver is no longer such an eye soar as there is not as much of it!

And the CIC controller does stand out more!
