robola 46 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 This week I mananged to work some more on the bimmer. First of all I gave the interior a good cleaning. I cleaned the leather with products of POORBOYS, and I must say, I’m really pleased of the result. All together I’ve been working on the interior for over 2 days now, and I must say, I did a fine job. Cause I don’t have the material to take excellent pictures from the interior, I asked a friend who came by with professional material. I’ll post the result of my cleaning when I get the pictures from him. And then I took off where I stopped 4 months ago. This was one of the last things I did back then. The middle piece you see here, should be covered in carbon fibre... At least, that’s what we’re going to try......:woot::woot: The left and right side are going to be sprayed in the color of the car, titansilver.
bd5034 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 If I had to pick one single build that I truly admire, I'd pick this one. Not just the craftsmanship, but the fact that you've been working and improving for such a long time - the dedication is truly inspirational. Maybe one day I'll see it in person - the future is not mine to know.

knowledge Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 i love this bmw REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.
robola 46 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Posted May 26, 2011 These are some preparations I’ve done for the photoshoot my buddy is going to do from the interior. On this shelf that’s mounted in that back, I already fixed the toggle which the Nikon is placed on. I already placed it 100% in de middle. Then I occupied myself by blinding the front and side-windows.
icewall Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 I remember when this build was first posted. It doesn't shock me that it just kept getting better! really nice work.
robola 46 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Posted June 1, 2011 Here are the pictures of the interior with the interior-lighting I added and some I partly changed. First the white lighting. This goes on once the door is opened. The lighting behind the doortoggles are LED. You could think they shine blue, but that's isn't the case. I think the pictures give a distorted image of this they are surely white. When I changed the back piece of the front seat last year, some may have noticed I made an extra little sloth on the top. This was meant to house the lighting . Many asked me why I mounted that idiotic net on the carbon covers again well, now you can see which effect this all gives when the lighting is one.
robola 46 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Posted June 1, 2011 This lighting comes from above the pedals, but also from underneath the seat. This is another carbon piece I made for around the gears. Now the orange lighting. This will light up once you turn on the lights. The orange is the original BMW orange. For some it may look 'over the top' right now, but don't forget that the windows are totally blacked out for the fotoshoot. When it's just dark outside, and you're driving, it's very pleasant and enjoyable. The reflections you see now, you won't see normally, but for this photoshoot, it came out great.
robola 46 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Posted June 1, 2011 Here the total picture.......... On this pic you can obviously see what I added. The lighting above the pedals, and underneath the glove box. Underneath the seats. Behind the doorboxes. LED's under the seats shine on the doorspeakers. Underneath the armrest. LED which are mounted above the inside mirror, who shine on the dashboard speakers. It's almost like I purchased another set of Focals when you look at this, but I think one set of Utopia's nr7 is enough. At this point, the interior lighting is fully finished. I put a lot of hours into it, but when you see the result (like in the last picture), again, it's been worth the effort. As for the rest, I want to thank gNo for the work he put into his superb fotoshoot, I'm very pleased with the pictures! And without his help I wasn't able to show my Christmas lights to all of you
MrSkippyJ Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Man, well I don't even know what to say. That's just beautiful and in no way is the orange too much.
