I think mine might be one of the oldest 6er's in this thread! But anyway, here is my E64 after spending about 3 days on paint correction. Carbon Black is now mirror sharp which was great for the 10 minutes or so it stayed clean with all this pollen
Also tidied up the leather.

Addition to seat care posting.

I am very impresses with Colourlock. I’ve had much experience with leather seat restoration and care in a 32 year old Porsche. In that case I had to do a stripping and deep clean for I had to apply a new ‘skin’ in the high ware areas. Then I had to color it. The pigment I used was very hard to take. It looked great, but did require periodic maintenance. What it needed was the Colourlock sealant. Wish I had that then. Very happy I have it now. I highly recommend Colourlock for our leather.

Such a beautifully aging car, would never think it's been a decade since the last model year.

You will have to be very brutal to break something when doing the trim, if you have a trim tool set and follow the instructions you will be safe... |

Redid and finished the roof wrap in gloss black. Wheel spacers, powder coat, and caliper paint coming next week!
Still trying to decide between fixed or adjustable springs. |

The shop I'm going to swears they can match this gold so I'm hoping it doesn't look too fake. |

Not particularly other than it seems powder coating might hold up a tad better maybe? But I’ve also read that paint is just fine as well. Who knows. It’s costing around $300 for the whole job (would have been $150 if I didn’t have a two-stage color.)

However I've decided not to fit it. I prefer the clean non badge look better.

Wrapped the boot badge surround Gloss Black...
Used a compass blade to cut the perfect sized circle.

Another Day... Another Mod.
TCR MotorSport paddles fitting. I think they look better then the OEM ones and go we with the silver steering trim.
