So finally all done and huge thanks to John@Bespoke Leathering. Absolutely knocked it out the park with the job done and colour. Hard to see it properly in these pics but went with BMW Opal White. The contrast is stunning against the LeMans Blue. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y15/Raj328/001...

Nice jobs there. Definitely looks like the butyl should do the trick after seeing the pics.

Leather looks much better.

Definitely. Will be machined when it’s detailed

Still dirty as big had a chance to wash it but at least some pics of it all fitted up. Just dropped it off for the interior restoration now :oops: https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y15/Raj328/001_IMG_3233.HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y15/Raj328/001_IMG_3235.HEIC https://hosting.p...

Yeah I have finally put it all back together but as you say it hasn't stopped raining now so can't get it cleaned properly and fitted pics lol

Thanks Lez. Am pleased with how the paint has come out. Colour match is spot on.

Finally back on the drive and ready to be put back together.



Crazy how dusty they’ve got within only a day or two been sat there in the bodyshop.

I'd check the connections as mentioned as that is the most likely issue. Otherwise perhaps the sensor arms when the bags were fitted have been broken etc.

Wrap it in cotton wool and just look at it, too good to use. BTW, is this the car that was advertised here F S? Well have been thinking of PPF to protect the front end but generally it won't be doing that much mileage as my wife only uses it for work mostly which is a couple of miles each way. Yes ...

It certainly is lol. Well it is to be used so will just park away from others best we can

So nearly there with the paintwork. Just a flat and polish left and can collect it and put it all back together. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y15/Raj328/E6F279EF_E35C_466F_BA3B_9FEA31823C68_6733cba4_df39_4588_9e79_2fea269ebb70.jpg https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y15/Raj328/45473E82_...

Cotswolds BMW do discounts and competitive pricing and post out to you too. They're on plenty of forums offering discounts etc.

Completely agreed

Will pop down lunchtime today and see.
