Thanks mate, appreciate it. I'd be the first to admit that I am no professional upholsterer. I wanted to get as close to OEM as possible and make it easy for people to replicate at home.

Thank you mate!

Thanks mate!

Thanks George!

Cheers, lip came from the BMW dealership as they still stock them :)

@@thedetailformula7046 So it’s a bmw genuine part ok, thank for your answer !

Yeah it is. Part # 51112251767

I went to a prfessional shop first and they wouldn't even touch it! Couldn't believe it. Next shop was going to charge over $1000 per door card....

Hey mate, the door cards used about 1.5m I'd say. At a guess you'd need at least another 5m to do the seats

Thanks mate! I think cutting the holes might work but would be pretty tough to know how big they should be and where to put them. Pretty easy to make mistakes I think. Don’t know till you try it I guess!

I agree mate! Next week I reckon!

More! Finished watching them all over again. Great videos. Deserves more subs

Thanks George! I'm on it! Just got a front lip and another surprise coming! Keep an eye out!

Yeah thats a good point actually. When I removed to old vinyl there was no cloth backing. Thinking back, the cloth backing on the vinyl I used didn't seem like it would come off easily

@@thedetailformula7046 Yeah there´s different backings, I don´t think any are designed to peel off put some do. The backing is also what determines the stretch direction. Most are more stretchy in one direction than other. Your two piece design worked out good too👌

Thanks mate!

I actually got the fabric from Etsy. Seller was called Berry I think. I just found the foam backing was to thick but it was easy to pull off

You're welcome mate!

Yeah I’m sure you can but I struggled. After a couple of failed attempts I decided to go the 2 piece route and I’m really happy with it. It may have been the vinyl I used being not stretchy enough, not sure. Or just not talented enough! 😂

Yeah I agree!

Thank you mate. See link below for the vinyl i used. www.mollies.nz/products/2422823?variant=44523862393123

Hey mate, Duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint

Do you reckon it would work on headliners as well as the rear parcel tray

It'll work but it does make the fabric a little firmer. I actually found it really easy to re-upholster the headliner and it's absolutely worth doing.

@@thedetailformula7046 sweet thanks mate just figured it be easier and cheaper as mine was redone only a year or 2 ago but in beige for some reason instead of black

Hey mate, carpet was out of a donor car. Really good condition but second hand

Hey mate, they are just the stock ones. I think I’ll upgrade all the speakers at some point. After wheels and suspension though!

Thank you mate! Appreciate you tuning in! Link below www.ebay.com/itm/256010823063

Thank you! That’s the plan!

Cheers mate! Agree 😍

Hey mate, I got the fabric from Le Mans Auto Fabric in Wellington. Sent them a sample and they matched it.

We try!

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. I actually got the fabric from Etsy. Seller was called Berry I think. I just found the foam backing was to thick but it was easy to pull off

Thank you bro!

@@thedetailformula7046 Hey i can't seem to ifnd the vinyl on etsy. Could you please provide a link. Thank you

Hey mate, how much fabric did you use to do all the door cards?

Hey mate, the long piece that goes right across both windows?

@@thedetailformula7046 yeah that and the bottom piece actually, all I’ve found is the 4 door seals

Long piece is called the Roof Edge Moulding. Best way to find part numbers is go to realoem.com. Put in your car details and you’ll be able to find what all your parts are 👍

Hey mate, yeah totally agree. Struggling with the front door cards at the moment. Will let you know when I find a solution. I just used standard automotive vinyl.

Thank you, Yeah I'm really happy with them!

Hey mate, it was an M Sport wing I believe? Where you located? I could probably give you my one. Needs repainting but it's just sitting in my garage collecting dust.

Hey mate, that’s a great call. Really appreciate the comment!

Really cool man! Just the process of bringing your car back is awesome

Hey mate, thank you for tuning in! What engine you planning on swapping in? I'd get all the rust sorted then just have a good look at each panel to see if it's worth repainting any of them. I had my front and rear bumpers repainted as they were in pretty rough shape. Lucky I have a friend who is a professional painter and looked after me but I'd expect to pay about $500 per bumper depending on the shop. I've found that BMW paint is actually quite good to learn how to do paint corrections. It's very hard so you're unlikely to blow through the clear coat easily. Takes the stress out of it! Totally worth doing it, car looks amazing now.

Thank you mate! Appreciate it!

100% will be using a sander next time!

Hey mate, any all purpose cleaner will work instead of the Green Star. It's what I use as I have it in the garage for many other uses such as decon washes, engine bays and any other surface that needs a deep clean. For the trim itself, I can't recommend the GTechniq C4 high enough. As far as ceramic coatings go, it's not crazy expensive and in my opinion, it's the best product out there to bring back faded trim. You won't regret spending the $35ish dollars.

Thanks mate! Editing the next episode at the moment. Will have it up in a couple of days. Car looks soooooo good with the coating applied!

@@thedetailformula7046 amazing!! I can’t wait to see the outcome 🤩

Thanks man, really appreciate the support. Should have it out by Monday

Yeah man, I think they’re the best looking wheel on an e36! Unfortunately these ones are reps that came with the car when I brought it. They’re 17x8s. I look every week for real ones but haven’t come across any yet 😥
