My project (http://www.e9coupe.com/forum/threads/bmw-3-0-csi-being-restored-in-ireland.25097/) is progressing well... A colour has been decided upon, and it will be contentious for some.... By way of a quick recap, the car that was purchased was red. It had a makeover in the UK in the late 80's when it was painted red. It's original colour as confirmed by BMW is Ceylon. The wife (who the car is actually for) has decided that she wants it in Nacht Blue. So, I am considering that to be a closed chapter, Nacht Blue it is.... The interior also needs a make over, it's currently in black cloth... It looks like I am going to have it done in tan leather. Question is, do I go with a bespoke job by an upholsterer or do I buy a kit for a more guaranteed outcome. World Upholstery are quoting $3,650 (EUR3,355) for seats and door cards front and back to include headrests and the section between the rear seats. The car is not going to be a daily driver and I am definitely not paying any more than this for the job. Below is the intended outcome. As always, I'm interested to hear peoples thoughts on my plan, perhaps specifically on any merit there may be in having a bespoke job done. For the record, I am advised of a cost of EUR500 + materials for a bespoke job in Dublin, Ireland which sounds way too cheap to me...
