Picked up my BBS LM from the refinishers today. Had them do a mild refurb on them to make them look a little sharper and more glossy. Not the best photos in the world, but I am pretty happy with them. They managed to match the shade of silver very well to the original.

Today, I thought I'd have a go at dying my shagpile mats black. After a couple months of unsuccessfully searching for some good condition shags in dark grey, I decided to dye the ones I have in an attempt to improve the look of the interior.

 

Here's the before (taken right after a good wash) :

As you can see they are the lighter grey kind and to me too light for my liking.

 

I read somewhere that someone had successfully dyed their car mats using Dylon fabric dye that you add to your washing machine....

 

Well as my mats were already grey, adding a black dye can do one of only 2 things... 1. Turn them black, or 2. Turn them a darker shade of grey. Either way I think I'd be happier with them.

 

So I buy the dye, read the packet, then learn that a whole pack of Dylon black dye will successfully transform 1kg of fabric from white, to black. Now as I already stated, a darker shade of grey and I'd be happy so decided to whack both mats in at once even though it weighs considerably more than 1kg.

 

So, 2 hours in the machine on a 40 degree cycle, then a 45 minute rinse to clear excess dye from the mats, and here's the result!:
