I've been thirsting to get coloured stitching on my seats for a while. My interior is identical to yours except it's red accented instead of blue.

Sadly I don't have the skill or patience to do it myself. There are vendors here who will do it, but I suspect it isn't cheap.

Very tempted...

Can't tell much of sound except on startup, but the pipes look much better in the back. I can't decide whether to go quad or center the duals on my diffuser...either would work.

The mirrors are fairly easy to do...I looked at a youtube video and just followed what they did...

will try this, thanks!

sir will need a video of how to replace the grill..please and thanks

Probably will end up going with a CF M Performance front lip...that will round out the front end.

Paint these blue - or gloss black.

I sold my car about a month ago. I am BMWless for the first time in about 15 years. It's weird looking in the garage and no BMW in there.

So the right side stitching is T210 and left side is T135 ... correct?

[roll_the_dice]

That is correct. I couldn't tell as much of a difference when I redid mine with 210 as the picture shows...they both looked great. If you are buying thread, I would get the 210...

I think the first one is a better color. I like the second color, but I think it is too bright...for me at least. I wanted it subtle not in my face, if that makes sense.

That makes absolute sense. Thank you sir

No problem...post pictures when you start working on it or if you have questions ask. It was much easier to take the headrests out of the car to do it...I also took the rear seat out to do it...I did the front with them in the car, but would been easier out...I was just lazy on the front!

Got both T135 and T210 threads today and below are a few comparison pics for someone interested

First of all hats off to your patience

I have started weaving using headrest first. Wow it's a tedious process.

Need help or clue on how to avoid the fringe while weaving... see the pic below

[roll_the_dice]

I think the only way I avoided the dreaded curl of the thread was every so often I would hold the headrest up high in the air and let the needle hang and it would unravel...

Hang in there...the result is worth the headache!

That's a good idea. I'll try that

This is the result so far. There are some imperfections but ok i guess

[roll_the_dice]

It looks good!!!
