sven007 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 I have finally got the extra cash to fix my roof upholstery and side panel upholstery. I have a 1994 318is with black interior/ Basically everything of the interior is black. I was thinking of getting a creamy white roof upholstery and also side doors upholstery white. So black and white would look good. I will put some pictures up tomorrow of the original interior of my bmw but before I go and get this done I need personal opinions and what they would do instead. My point being is when I resell my car for a FASTER bmw I dont want an interior that would put off buyers but more likely attract them. Thanks for the help!!

sven007 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2006 Everyone says Black but I was thinking more of white so it stands out like in the performance car interiors's. Was gonna show them what a bmw looks like instead of the usual japanese vehicles. Thanks for the offer of the panel and the upholstery but my bmw does not have a sunroof unfortunatly!

By goin off your adverage buyer, people dont want cars that have "custom interiors" etcJust do it black mang, itll look best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sven007 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2006 Thanks for the advice guys, I have decided to go with vharcoal black colour for my pillars/roof and back dashboard as it has faded to a purple colour. Drove up to Levin and getting it done at Kerry's Upholstery's and will be picking it up this afternoon. Once again thanks for your opinions and advice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jammasterjames 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2006 The lining on my car ceiling is sagging How much did it cost to get done? Any el cheapo DIY methods out there?? Super glue?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sven007 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 If you superglue patches come through and it looks pretty sh*t. Best if you dont have the cash at the moment would be a staple gun. But it is def worth putting money into a proffesional to do it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Best 'El Cheapo' glue to use for trimming is 3M contact adhesive in a spray can [at $18.00 it comes with it's own compressor] Patience is required here,spray both surfaces then 'WAIT' [Wait a little longer than you think]then stick-em together. When Respraying Vinyl with vinyl-paint,Soften [soak]the product with M E K [methylethylketone]this sh*t can disolve vinyl,but when the MEK & the paint evaporates[dries] you'll find the new paint has soaked right in,making it harder to scratch off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
