Headliner Refresh - December 2012

Repair of headliner done by Marlon Vea on Dec. 16, 2012 - 10 years in Bimmer's life. No matter how good, the adhesive in the headliner cannot stand up to the Philippine heat. With wear and tear, the anthracite cloth separates becoming an eyesore. This is a common issue with the E46s...I've had lots of friends in the same boat!

In addition, the grey leather also gets faded thru wear. It's great that the Christmas project had resolved all the internal issues of the car. :)
