I'll shoot you the ebay seller I used for most of the black pillars and other pieces/parts when I get a chance to look it up. Decent prices and everything showed up well packed, in a timely manner, etc. One A pillar cover had crack in it, which was easy to fiberglass over. I couldn't get angry since every piece of plastic I touch in that car explodes.
Graham at ASC Fabrics hooked me up with the nice M3 like headliner material, and I'm planning on sourcing the anthracite Uberkaro for my seat inserts from him too. He's got a fantastic Z3 project going that he transplanted an N62 into: [email protected] |
Yeah, the plastics used are incredibly cheap feeling. I think there were 8 clips in total holding the two side trim pieces around the rear window, and 6 of them came out with the plastic tabs being left behind inside the metal clip.... just feeling the cheap/brittle plastic, I can see why. I'm reaaaaally not looking forward to messing with the sunroof for that reason, but I gotta fix the crappy sag look from those shades. I have to mentally prepare myself to have no interior trim for a while because I'm fully expecting to break something and have to wait on a replacement lol
