The red stitching on my M3 wheel looks great after 6 years - go for it. Sharp car!

Remember the rubber pipes I inserted in the window seals?
I just removed them, they were too hard so you had to slam the door to get it shut. I thought it would improve over time but it didn't so I guess I'll have to replace the seals.

It happens if you go through a left hander real hard with these wide tyres.

Do you think if you applied a bit of heat to the rear seat it would smooth out those wrinkles?

I noticed them too....unfortunately steam/heat will do nothing to improve those wrinkles....whoever upholstered the rear seats should have made a better job of it to be honest.....it needs to be retensioned to pull those wrinkles out if you ask me....still a gorgeous car though.

Hrm... well, those wrinkles would bug the hell out of me. Nonetheless, it looks great.

Johan- That's not me in my signature! Haha. I found the picture on digg.com and thought it was cool. Err... wait... that is me! Yep!

I've got to take it back to have the leather fixed, the place that did the work agreed to sort it months ago but I just don't get round to do it.

The S500 took up a lot of my time and now I went and traded it in on a S600 V12 Bi-Turbo a week ago so the Porsche just sit in the garage under her cover.
