They look great! Do the e46 seats work fine if you have heated/memory?
Z4 now sold :(

Huge improvement IMHO putting the red on the doors OP! :thumbsup:

(And personally I find the E46 Sport seats more comfortable than E86 M-Sport seats. :roll: )

Sure I'll be struck off shortly! :lol:

On pre-facelift, yes. I don't think the wiring is there on facelift models.

Why would you put layers of t-cut on your car? Is it not an abrasive Polish?

Hmm interesting you say this.

Is it not the same as using a abrasive cutting compound? As part of polishing process?

Layers was the wrong term, my bad. 3 times round to lift out the light surface scratches is a better description
