@KastelikClassicCar
This is excellent news….. could you please clarify what a member has questioned…

“But it still looks like they are selling two of one side”. Might be best to post some detailed pics here.

thanks
Keshav

@KastelikClassicCar : I have some questions:
- what price are they, ex shipping?
- could you share some detailed pics?
- are you making different parts for Left and Right, or are you selling 1 part to be used on both sides? (a asked by others already)
- can you describe on which points your parts differ from BMW oem parts?


thanks very much for making these available, now that BMW is not servicing us anymore.
regards,

The price per set is €300.00 gross (€240.00 net for non-EU customers and companies). Small price negotiation possible .
As a rule, shipping cost I try to estimate for each customer before placing an order, I send by UPS courier, I do not add any commission. Sample costs: shipping to England cost approx. 38 euro, to Germany 16 euro, USA-California 80 euro. Goods packed in a cardboard tube.
Right and left side looks the same and works great, fits perfectly.
The slats are "filled" inside, made of polyurethane and stainless steel.
A set of screws for mounting is included.
Regards,
Wiola

Hi Wiola-

This statement might confuse some people. Is there a left side and an opposite right side like the factory trim?

 

[KastelikClassicCar]

One strip fits both sides, in the original there was a separate right side, a separate left side.

Hi Wiola
Where can I see what else you are producing for BMW E9 3.0 cs?

 

[Keshav]

They produce door cards too for the coupe….

...and elephant skin for the trunk wheel arches.

The website is currently in the process of creating an online store- there will be detailed descriptions and pictures of the merchandise. As the guy mentioned we produce decorative trim, door cards and we are planning to resume production of wheel arch covers.

We are also considering reproduction of the cockpit for the BMW E9. And here a question to forum members if there is a demand for these parts?
I would appreciate your feedback.

If you can "accurately" reproduce these interior parts, my 2-cents is you would have a market for them. The question comes down to accuracy. They are multi-component/material pieces but if you could do it, there are a fair amount of restored coupes with sub-standard lower interior pieces.

The custom door cards you supplied to me are great, so I have feedback.
You may know there is a Just Dashes in the US that offer this service (http://www.justdashes.com/2013/04/1974-bmw-3-0-dash-pad-restoration-5-piece-dash/) I don't know them 1st hand. Price and quality have been discussed here but I don't think there is consensus that there product is that close to OEM. They accept cores and renovate.

Just Dashes is expensive and turn around time is long, make these parts and you will have buyers.

Yes, there is demand for those 4 pieces in your pictures. Most available are second hand, and the vinyl pulls away from the metal backing. Getting them back in shape is difficult (heating in an oven) and takes skill and time. Some of the under -dashparts have brackets, hinges, and/or chrome strips on them, they could easily be swapped. Possibly you could make a cheap version without brackets and stuff, and a more expensive version with all brackets repro'd and fixed?

I've purchased about 3 of each under-dash panels hoping to be able to get enough parts from them to build 1 solid one out of each.
The top dash panel usually has a crack due to the vinyl getting brittle. parts that still look good may die tomorrow or next year, but surely people will keep searching for good ones.

I agree. If these were available they would sell no problem.

 

[KastelikClassicCar]

Does any of you know roughly how much Just Dashes wants for a cockpit restoration?
