Can't wait to see this, bet you're a bit nervous - hope the red stitching works.

Yeah I am a bit, after browsing "Z4 leather dash" on Google I changed my original plan. Fingers crossed it works out

Nought wrong with a leather dash and red stitching contrast

Looking good, the only concern i have is getting it back together with the extra thickness of the leather. Around the right switch, ash tray and head unit/fans.

Guess we will find out tonight if it goes back together.

As long as they skiv the edges and joins - had to do the spokes on my wheel myself, without skivving there would have been large gaps. I would expect that any retrimmer will skiv the leather so you should be fine.

Anticipation is killing me

Well i picked the dash up from the trimmer yesterday, currently having a little problem getting the smaller dash piece to near the light switch but will take another look at the weekend.

If the piece wont fit at the weekend it will be stripped and thrown away with a lesson learnt

Right decision - red stitching looks great, hope you get the light switch area sorted

Looks great! I presume it's the thickness of the leather causing you issues for the light switch panel? Do you know if the guy thinned the leather at all? What is the rest of the fitment like and how much was the total outlay in the end? Sorry for the Spanish inquisition but it would be nice to find these things out.

That looks great. How was the fitting round the sports button?
