Hi, When you cut the head off the top of the welds, on most there is still the remainder of the tube thats part of the insert. You use short fat wood screws with a washer and screw into them. You can first drop a bit of black hotmelt into the hole then screw the screw-with wash in. There will be enough to hold the insert insecurely. You can then apply addtional Black ( dont use clear) hotmelt glue to make the fix stronger. When you attached the arm pad/pull this will also add to it being secure...BL

Thank you!

Thank you 😁...BL

Hi, Yes this will come but currently working through a number of Bespoke projects so its just getting the time to gather the content and upload...BL

Hi, Thank you for watching the video Unfortunately patterns are not for sale...BL

Hi, Minor repairs are carried out but never charged as the results are never perfect ( seamless, lasts/ages well & look like its never had an issue) Im yet to do a video showing a full door card recover as well as the speaker housing but will put it on the list...BL

Hi, Planning too but there is an e39 M5 L/H next for a customer in the USA...BL

Hey! Just to point out. If you were able to push the tab just above the number plate then you have 100% not got an original OEM CSL boot lid. You may not be aware but that button/tab is not fitted to any original CSL boot lid. There is absolutely nothing there! As for "Redundant mod".....far from it 😁 ...BL

Hi, Thank you.😁 Its pretty much the same tension as a roller blind you would use in a house. The tension is low and there are no tricky gears etc inside. Each cap inside has a slot, just put the blind back into the slot one end, give it a turn or two then pop the other end on. Kind regars...BL

@@bespokeleathering Thank you for your reply, great to hear that not a lot of fiddly bits waiting for me inside. Again, amazing results!

Hi, Please email images of the interior to sales@bespokeleathering.com so that i can take a look at its current condition. Please periodically check your Junk folder for any responces as they can often be filtered to them. Kind regards...BL

Hey! Firstly, thank you or taking an interest🙏 and watching and great question.👍 The reason a layer of plastic sheet is put over the console is because this as well as the leather have been coated in heat reactive adhesive and left to dry. I can lay the leather onto the part as it stands, and it will not stick. Just as if neither of the parts have adhesive on them. Applying direct heat re-reacts the adhesive on both parts which will allow the leather to stick to the console. The plastic sheet acts as a non-stick barrier between the leather and the console as it will not stick to either. I will tear this barrier in specific areas that I’m working on where I want to introduce heat so that the leather sticks, slowly removing this barrier as I work around the part. Residual heat from the heat gun flowing out can cause the adhesive to become tacky causing the leather to stick in areas that I’m yet to focus on which would be a bit of a pain. A little bit is ok, but it is something you want to avoid. Especially if you are using normal contact adhesive. So, introduce heat in specific areas, get stitching line correct, and set the rest of the leather in place while slowly working around the console and removing the barrier makes for an excellent finish. A big plus is that if I go back to the part and see something I do not like (say the stitching is slightly off) then I can heat that area and remove the leather, realign, and set it back down. After 48 hours the adhesive cannot be re-reacted with heat. It is set for good. Kind regards…BL

Hi Liam, No problem at all 😁 I can confirm that I have seen Tim lately ( last week actually) 😂 as I’m restoring a number of interiors for the new series although I have no time as we are very busy but he just chews my ear….constantly🙄 ( make him beg 😁). If you do ever bump into him, can you say “stop being so tall and making John look so small” 🧐🤣 Great bloke 💪

@@bespokeleatheringLOL!!! 🤣😂😆 I can try all depending on where I bump into him as he lives in the North and I live in Wiltshire plus he's traveling all the time just like me but only his travels are parts searching whereas my travels are for pleasure. If I see him I'll tell him lol!!!

Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated 🙏 The door cards suffer from two things that can be address. 1. As you have pointed out, the bottom of the door card which recieves and few kicks overs the years making it looks a little aged. 2. The speaker surround which gets scratched and marked. The lower section as you know is the main outer part of the doocards. This can 100% be renovated so that it looks like you had just purahsed it new from BMW. Yes, there are the small marks to the surface ( usualy on the edges) and a little work can help to better these. The speaker housing again, can be renovated so that it looks brand new which is something we have done quite a few times.. I do have some spare door cards so what i will do is plan in the next few months another "Classroom" video to show how both can be restored.😎

Hi, Thank you! When the insert is removed you will see small tubes, and this is what’s left when removing the heads. You can use small 4mmx20mm wood screws to reattach. You may need some 13mm washers as well. Hot melt glue (I use Black) is put over the heads of the screws once they are all tight to prevent them from vibrating loose. *Please do not drill all the way through the main door card (seen in the video when the insert is removed) as you will be using some of that material to put the washer on which the screw will go through to help pull it tight.* There will be a couple of places where you cannot use the screws as it's too shallow. For these areas a few drops of hot melt will be fine. The main “grab” is with the screws. I would not advise using hot melt glue only or any other bonding agent because if you want to remove and colour change them again or if your first attempt of refitting doesn’t not work then it can get very messy. …BL

Hey! Thank you lol :-)

Hi, Thank you! Once aligned it was screwed into place. Just need to make sure the ///M colours cover and seal everything so that's its weather tight...BL

Hi James, I have spoken to the customer and he has 205/50 ZR 15 on which is slightly larger than that standard 195's which most 280's have fitted. Hope this helps. Kind regards...BL

@@bespokeleathering that's great thank you.

Hi, Thank you for your comment. We use a water based glue but you can use brush on contact adhesive, the process is a little different as you would only glue specific areas at a time, fit the leather then glue another area and so on...BL

Hi, On this headliner we used a high temperature spray glue and as you can see it was on the none stress, flat areas. So all the material will do is lay down. For the stress areas ( edges and anywhere the material as to be formed into) we us contact adhesive as this has a much better grab. for the stress areas you will find that when you brush the contact adhesive on it will soak into the headliner and offer no adhesion. So you need to apply contact adhesive onto all the stress areas and then dry with a heat gun or hair dryer. This stops the adhesive soaking into the headliner. THEN when you come to lay the new material onto the headliner and apply contact adhesive on the stress areas it will not soak in and still be tacky for when you lay the material down. Good Luck!...BL

Hi, The BMW Badge was tempting but being an ///M3 I thought i would go to the next level. But the BMW badge on a none ///M3 sure! would be great...BL

@@bespokeleathering if you happen to source the kit, feel free to post it on the naM3 forum. Someone would love to see it and purchase

Hi, Yes it is but it will be very involved. Preparation is KEY (Not just cleaning but strippng the seat, changing out any worn/damage or furry top stitching. this will dictated not only the outcome but also the longevity. A "Beige" colour should be used to reduce the black, then applcation of Cinnamon. Cinnamon as a colour is more transparent than beige and using beige will mean you will use less Cinnnamon to get a uniform finish (less coats means less chance of clogging stitching)

@@bespokeleathering Do you provide this service. If so can I get a price quote?

Thank you!. When I first did this to my personal M3 (Carbon Black one in the video) I never thought about producing a kit. Something I will have to look into...BL

If you make a kit you will most likely have at least 100 people but off the top. Especially in the forum. Nam3 forum

@@manuski14 NAM3 forum. Just did a search and need to register. As an M3 enthusiast I find the forum interesting. Do you have a link to any threads about the mod? Be interesting to read feedback good or bad...BL

@@bespokeleathering no there's no topic about it. I'll post the link to the video for some more views but you should try to come up with the kit for it. There's kits for the PAS system from the E90 that was retro to E46. F and G series brakes on E46. Etc. Etc. Allot of new stuff for this 20 year old.

Thank you Matthew, Much appreciated.!

Hi, We have discussed this and do plan on showing the process for colour changing an interior part. This will include prodcuts used and tips. The process will generally be the same irrespective of part to be colour changed. So there will be information from that which you can take forward if you look to undertake your own project...BL

Thank you!

Hi, sorry we do not know but what we would do is look at a standard 4 series rear back frame with armrest and see if the frame can be used and then adapt the foam and covers from your CS to it. We did a very similar modification to an e92 M3 rear bench ua-cam.com/video/Xxye60N8BeA/v-deo.html Regards...BL

Thank you! Cheers!

You are welcome!

Hi, No problem. The heat gun is this one www.welwyntoolgroup.com/leister-hot-jet-s-230v-plastic-welding Its very hard to say what temp we heat the leather up as its never measured. Its 20+ years of experience knowing what you can do to some types and not others and looking for specific changes.

The 460W headgun has two controls. One for fan speed and the other for temperature. The heat range is between 20c & 600c (68F to 1112F)...BL
