        Here are some other pictures with the headliner and the rear shelf on the car... Not really satisfied with the result of the rear shelf as you can see but anyway... It's still better than it was !









        Little bonus

          Oh same happened with my rear shelf. Its not an easy one. I ended sending it to a professional. The headliner looks perfect now.
          Not a fan of aftermarket steering wheels on bmws but I recognise I like this one, it has this kind of oem look some how similar to mtech1 so I actually really like it, well done.

            Any plans on exhaust system modification? Some mufller delete and syde pipe exit like Ricsi w124 would be so sexy there

              I love E34s. The seats look to be in such nice condition.

                That's maybe what will happen... At the moment it'll stay like this, it's still better than it was and will do the trick for now... Thanks for your nice comment on the wheel, I actually love Nardi's and especially this one...

                Yes of course, the exit like the W124 posted yesterday is exactly what I'm looking for... Let's hear that straight 6 LOUD !

                Yes the seats are nearly mint, I need to clean and feed the leather but it's kinda rainy these days in France...

                  Thanks to the generosity and kindness of my friend John (who is also my garage-mate), a huge help for the future evolutions on the car arrived this weekend !!

                    I've always really disliked MK Motorsports, but those look awesome! I think the darker centre really helps. Looks great man

                      This!

                      I feel like you could space the rear wheels a bit to sit flush, would look ace!

                        Thank you guys !! Maybe I'll give it a try with some spacers, but I don't want too much rubbing so....

                              Sunny day down there in France today ! I decided to start by cleaning the leather...



                              Hot water + Marseille soap :



                              Meguiar's Gold Class + microfiber :



                              Then I decided to polish the wheels again, and this time I protected them with a coat after :





                              Engine bay cleaning :





                              Chillin' :



                              Final result :

                                The MKs do look nice on this car, but is the wiper switch is installed incorrectly?

                                If You ever decide to install wood trim in that nice interior, I have spare glove boxes from the Silbergrau interior
