Hello, world!

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I can't for the life of me remember my old login details so I've created a new account to start fresh!

Long story short - had a stint living over in Europe/UK, came back to NZ and have gotten my mitts on another E36. I won't ruin this one with flouro wheels, sticker bombs and rusty bonnets though, went for more of an OEM(ish) build over the last 6 months.

She's in for cert with Paul next week, so will be 100% more legal than the last one.

Meet, Delilah:

Style 66 wheels (E39 offset)
5 speed ZF manual conversion

Nice man - what colour is that - reminds me of Orientblau

Keen to see that headliner!

What places did you price skins for the vaders?

For my E30 retrim I will likely purchase reproduction fabric overseas and get a local trimmer to make and install the covers - only seen fabric covers on Ebay in limited fabrics at high prices... L seat only do leather and seem a bit hit and miss.

Hey Sam! Colour is Montreal-blau (297).

I re-trimmed the headliner with some fabric I scored from a Turkish outfit, but wish I'd gone with ASC Fabrics from the get go as they have really good reproduction fabrics. The dream initially was to go full M-Rain interior, but I've grown pretty fond of the Dove Grey especially after leaving her topless in the sun for a couple hours - no burnies. Prices for Vader skin options below:

Vader Factory:
400€ front skins only (synthetic)
700€ front and rear seat skins (synthetic)

Full retrim: fronts + rear seats + door cards
2000€ sensatec leather (synthetic)
3000€ genuine leather
Shipping around 150€ for above

Vader Factory also offer a conversion kit (convert any front sports seats to vaders):
1200€ sensatec leather
1600€ genuine leather
Shipping around 450€ due to size of foam bolsters etc

m3vader.com
600€ Vader sponge kit (just foam replacements)
1100€ Fronts only genuine leather
Shipping 69€ flat rate

lseat.com
$698 USD fronts and rears genuine leather
Shipping around $110 USD

Autoberry
$450 USD Fronts only (leatherette)
$900 USD Front and rear (leatherette)
$750 USD Fronts only (gen leather)
$1500 USD Front and rear (get leather)
Shipping TBC

Awesome man - those vader conversions look great - yeah, I'm looking at either Relicate or M Fabrics (ASC unfortunately don't do Anthrazit Uberkaro).
