OP, if you primary objective is for red door cards just dye the black ones. You will need an airbrush for best results.

Try find someone who wants to swap your Black ones for Imola, otherwise, just save up and buy the right ones from fleabay.
Your and your pax safety isn't worth while messing with.

Yours does look bloody good though..
Speaking of passengers occupancy, since I changed my seats, I don't get the annoying seatbelt warning beeps anymore. This is my second set of e46 seats. It happened when I fitted the first set. And I have an air bag light on.🤔

Too late. Mine are ripped. I may look at that though. Would red cover the black?
