Thank you, what does anyone think of re dying the leather to make it look factory fresh and remove some of the creases ?

I would say go for it !

Also, if you have a good upholstery guy, you could ask him to take of the seat covers and restitch them to the seats for flattening out the loose look and have a new tight fitment.

Lastly, switch the front seats from left to right and vice versa. This way the door side entrance bolsters which are usually the most worn area will be hidden and fresh inner bolsters will be visible when you open the door. And then you can dye the leather.

That is at least what I plan to do on my M Coupé.

Great good to see the positive response regarding the leather. The leather on my car is great but I want it to be excellent and thats my goal.

Currently waiting for my Tail lights to arrive from America. I purchased the whole tail light set.

It looks likely that I might do the same on the E36 ///M3. Was kind of unsure about it, but I think it's the best option moving forward.

Short shifter installed.

All is left is to fix the dent on the passenger door via paint less repair.

Install seals for the left side skirt and Porsche Classic Radio.

Got to drive the car today and it drives very nicely. I expect to pick it this time next week probably.
