Love the the interior work, and that steering looks very smart
No offence to you ,merely my opinion but did you consider replacing the headlight or using a different shroud like those silver ones in the pic
Those black shrouds make me focus on them instead of the whole front of the car I think if the headlights were more OEM with the Bmw type shroud and a set of Angel rings it would be a nice touch to the front

thanks man. using a shroud would require me to find a set of bosch headlights with excellent condition glass. big money. this is explained in this post . besides I like them black, and would have painted the shrouds too
angel eyes have no place on an e36, IMO :fencelook:
I also rather not see angel eyes on the E36.
Maybe smoke corners will suit the black shrouds you have, but overall the car is looking great!

The workmanship on the leather looks absolutely brilliant:thumbs:

finally put my dash/centre console back together.
the extended leather being all red was too much red for me, and the colour match was off, so I decided to make it all black instead, much better :joy:
here some quick shots
before:
after:
also swapped my e36 handbrake assembly with wood handle, for an e46 unit, that came with a pretty good condition leather handle.
I must say that the e46 handbrake is far superior to the e36 unit. it has a much "better" ratchet system, and a strong return spring, something the e36 doesnt have.
nice design on the e36 mechanism. the service position for the handbrake is 4 clicks, and that just so happens to perfectly centre the "hole" in the handbrake.
