Yes i know Paul. Only been out once this year :( Just need some good weather on a Sunday now. Might give it a run today and try and dodge the showers =))
 
Today i get my seats re-done. Keeping them the same colour but they are looking a little shabby now.
How they look now

Will post after pics up when the job is done and what sort of job they have made
 
Leather man has arrived and masked off.

Took about an hour and then about 30 mins colour matching.
 
Seats now all redyed.

Now i can concentrate on getting the inside fully cleaned and some of the trims replaced which i have been waiting for the seats to be done before i do this
 
Looks great, definitely a no denim zone though!
 
The condition after the seat work suits your Z Bill, love a Z4 with the light interior after seeing yours for the first time. Impressed with @Lee blue Z4 coupe which also has the light interior.
Must be hard to keep them looking nice though.

RHA, Roy.
 
Makes a big difference to the Zed having the seats redone. Now it looks a decent motor again
 
Have booked the Zed in for a much needed full respray on Saturday. Getting it done at Custom Paintwerx in Derby
They are doing me a swatch so i can let them know if there is either too much or not enough Red fleck so they can get it just right, also told me they would try and get an additional coat of lacquer on so that i can DA Polish in the future. @Sean d (is this possible or are they talking bull s***) Undecided whether to get a coating put on or just use the Swissvax Canuba.
Lets hope these do a good job as it is not cheap
So before it goes in i am revitalising the roof with renovo so as i do not get it on the fresh paint. Just done the first scrub and will see how it looks when it has dried to see if i need to colour which i will do tomorrow night.

They can put extra laqueur on mate, normally 2 coats, the only down side to bulking it is cure time but if they bake it there shouldn't be anything to worry about, I don't see why they said" they would try" to put an extra coat on, if you requested it and they have given you a price then it should have plenty on it,
Ask them what brand Laqueur they are using, there is a massive gap in top and bottom end Laqueurs, some are hundreds per litre and some a £30 a litre, the top end ones are too pricey for general body shops and are demanded by insurance companies
