Re: WTB...GEARSHIFT DISPLAY DECAL

I don't actually. I don't even remember what it looks like. I think it fits your description from what I remember. I'll get a picture when I get home on Tuesday.

I think it is the same size as my current one:

Re: Re-Dyeing Carpet?

I had seen that listing, that's what got me thinking... I just don't want to have to remove all of the interior to fit it... Hence the idea of dyeing it.

I have seen tutorials on YouTube though Barry? But I'm guessing that's for cars that don't have nylon carpet?

Re-Dyeing Carpet?

Mine carpet is grey, and it won't fit in with the rest of the interior when I eventually replace it. So I'm thinking of dyeing the floor black or maybe even royal red ;)

Has anybody looked into or actually dyed their carpet (of the CAR variety, Barry!)

Where is the seat occupancy sensor located?

Hi All,

I was wondering if anybody could tell me where the seat occupancy sensor actually is on a standard facelift Z3 seat? Is it just linked to the seat belt pre-tensioner, or is it a mat, under the seat foam?

Answers on a postcard.

Thanks in advance,

Before making a valuation of the car, you want to find out how much the seller values it at. To test the water – offer an amount below the price you consider acceptable, in order to discover what the seller is realistically hoping to get.
