Wedge arm rest 1988-1990?

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Peeps...

I have a pair of arm rests from a 350i which i think were possibly 1988-1990, They have a step in the sides facing the seats whereas in Poppy they are flat...Has anyone a pic of how it is trimmed please as i was going to re-trim them and fit them in Poppy...


Cheers

Mark, this is a shot from my '88 350i. It's a pre-purchase photo as the seats and trim are now looking quite faded. Not sure if this is the same as Poppy or your new arm rests? Cheers.

Thanks Keith....They are the same as i have in Poppy...Just did a search but couldn't find the others, I might be seeing a Wedge tomorrow that has the ones I'm after...


Cheers

I have never seen that transmission tunnel trim joining the centre panel trim as in your car. Is it a custom job?

It was derived from the SEAC; various later cars used it including the last 280i 'US-spec' cars (which were also 'de-seamed' and some had hideous bonnet vents).

Which I think are the definitive arm rests for the later 350i's.

Thought i would have a go at the new style arm rests...Had some Mulberry vinyl and think i might just re-trim Poppy...Although i doubt it will be pre-fest now...The only thing here is that i used a middle of the road black vinyl which is not really any good for 3D work as the stitching can pull through when stretched....As it did a bit just below the handle...I think its a good combo...I will have to finishes the handles i was making....
