kapitan wrote:Wanted to show new mod done today.... diy myself... quite simple job, and give you a luxurious feel to the handle. btw, the top surface is soft cushion. wanted to do this when I sat in a BMW in Germany.....







it may look like carbon fibre, but no, it is leather. bought the material, which is leather sticker from Autobacs, the cushion bought in Spotlight......

only had time today to do the driver's door, will complete all when I return next week. will also post in DIY section step by step of how to remove door and remove handles.... in fact everything can be removed, I mean the door hand, including the silver section. it is held together by screws....

but I feel it needed some sprucing up... with this....



now, two coats later, it is ready for mounting....



will do the mounting later... watching the paint dry...

The plastic plate securing the rubber to the fin got to be removed.... the front cut about 1 com forward.... then the sides cut away..... screw back the two pieces, yes, cutting away the side will leave the front and back pieces....

use two layers of 3M double sided tape to stick on the roof, over the stock antannae mounting.... with the front cut, you can align the fin to the top edge of the back windscreen.....

but I feel it is not sticking nicely still, a small gap is still there,... need to sand down the side edges to get a good fit...

I dont think any double side tape will work.. cause I go find those heat resistant from 3M and even stronger hold then those normal 3m car use one...

end up still the same..

The only way is to silicon it...which I'm planning to do it tonite...
