hi guys just wondering if anyone has had any dealings with colour glo in ballycoolin i need to get the e36 drivers seat repaired and i want to get the seats redyed/tidied up,did anyone get anything done by them and did it put up with the wear and tear???
Never used them, but ultimately any sprayed on leather dye is going to wear a lot quicker than seats which were originally vat dyed. If you're just matching an existing colour, it will look fine for a decent amount of time - dependent on the panel that's being done. A headrest will look perfect for ages, a side bolster won't.
That's what I'm afraid of ,,it's the back seats are perfect as usual just the front need redoing ,where my concern is if I do recover the front will the backs look out of place

Most good leather trimmers will recover the front seats and have them a very good match for the existing rear seats. Will obviously cost a lot more. No harm in having them dyed, seeing how they hold up - and then retrimming if you're unhappy. You can also keep an eye out for used seats which are in better condition than your own.
I bought a full interior from England (heated champagne nappa) which is quiet good condition bar the drivers seat it has a small hole in the bolster typical problem on most e36's ,,I think I'll bring it to them and see what they have to say about it,but they seam to do good work

I don't have spares to offer, want to keep the ones I have but I'm in no rush. Keep in touch and I'll keep my eyes open for something to replace them.Quote:

May be interested in a few vert parts if you are not using, I want to retrofit rear headrests and possibly a few other things. Shoot me a PM if you have rear headrest mounts fgoing
I'll have one complete 318 vert for breaking/ parts but not for a couple of weeks,I'm moving into a new premises and will take it apart there,it's only a few parts that I need off it eg the air con and a few other bits but won't know exactly until I strip both cars in the next couple of weeks I will have a complete sport interior in good condition including door cards, plastics,etc etc there's no holes or rips in it ,just the usual cracking of the leather it does need a good cleaning I'l throw up a few pics later when I'm back at the office
