Dont expect them to come back with a response on how much it will cost though, Ive had no luck getting a price out of them for that very bumper They do appear on TM from time to time and Ive seen genuine ones pop up and sell for $500. It all depends on how long your willing to wait really.

Does nobody read this section at all unless they are selling something? Have people not seen the half a dozen threads recently that have had this pointed out?Forum rules state: Items for Sale in here - Must include a price and photo* Links to other photos are fine, but can we please have a price.....even if its just to make Simon sweat a little

I dont think Ive ever bothered with the front page. Chrome stores my password for the forum and Im only ever two clicks away from my bimmersport fix

I hope your not going to make us re-quote the entire thread. If it was a genuine error then sort it out with Sammy J but seriously your only digging a bigger hole for yourself at the moment.This is why trademe is for auctions, Bimmersport is for cars.

Buy a can of tint spray and do them all red. I think you might struggle to find a set for an e34 touring and this wont cost you any more than the can of paint. Im thinking about doing it with the touring myself.

Couldnt agree more. This couldnt get any more explicit could it?

Its lovely. The more I see of it the more I like it.

Is there a car in there somewhere ?

Come on fella, you say you'll take $175 shipped and you get that straight away. If you want to start an auction stick it on trademe, Bimmersport is a forum not an auction site.

Blimey that is cheap.

I thought the night we had there was good too, but the running down of the Jap imports was over the top and completely unnecessary. I left there with the distinct impression that they weren't interested in working on imported cars at all. As I said, lets hope there is a change for the better.

One week in mate and so far so good. I havent had anything heavier than the kids in the back though and I dont have anything left at the house to throw in and test it, Ive sold all the wheels I used to use !

If you've been here for more than five minutes you'll know what I think of these guys. Past experiences have ranged from doing unauthorised work (and refusing to release the car until I had paid for that work) to breaking my wing mirror and taking six weeks (and four visits to them) to accept the error and fix it. Anyway, after dropping the front of the touring with new Vogtland springs (thanks Keith) Ive wanted to drop the rear. Glenn helped immensely with instructions for pneumatic suspension but as I had air it was back to the internet to see if it could be done. After scanning some of the US and UK forums it became obvious that the dealer could do it with their software so I got in touch with Jeff Gray as they are the only place in Wellington to have it. I wasnt expecting any help as Ive always been rejected when Ive asked them about stuff like this. They dont appear to like people who play with their cars and still tell me the Jap sat nav cant be made to work here even though Ive explained how to do it. Anyway, the initial approach was as expected. They said they would look into it but came back saying it couldnt be done. I went away to get more info and tried again, telling them the software and how it could be done. This obviously got someones back up because I received an email that pretty much said 'fcuk off and leave us alone'. After I sent a reply expressing my disgust at such an email one of the tech blokes agreed it could be done and said bring it in. I was obviously a little sceptical after the ranting email but I just wanted it done by this stage and was planning to have a right go at the bloke who sent the email. I dropped the car off but didnt see the email bloke and left giving them strict instructions to ring me if there was any confusion as to what I wanted done. I got a call two hours later from the head techo telling me the computer had levelled the car out as soon as they plugged it in and would I like to come and have a look. This was a surpirse because Id asked if I could come and have a look before and I was told in no uncertain terms 'no'. I get there, Kerry introduces himself and explains what theyve done and invites me round the back to see the car. We have a nice chat and I ask for another 10mm off which he agrees can be done and he'll give me another call. At this point he explains that he had seen the emails and he gave me an unreserved apology The guy who sent the email has been dealt with and if I ever need anything again to call him directly. I get another call an hour later to say its all done and I can pick the car up as agreed at 3.30. So I go to collect it and the car is dropped nicely, its also been washed and vacuumed which is something Ive NEVER experienced at Jeff Gray but was always done by the UK dealers. Ive had them on about this in the past and always been told that they dont wash cars no matter how much money youve spent there on repairs. I briefly get to see Kerry who brings out the paperwork of what the measurements were before and after and he leaves me with the 'front of house' manager who also apologises for any previous 'issues' Ive had and says he will be investigating a specific incident I had raised in my last email. He then gives me my keys back and tells me there will be no charge for the work. I was speechless. I thanked him very much for everything and left with a shiny clean car, sat nice and level So as Ive always been very vocal of the bad things, I thought it was important to be just as vocal on the good things. Ive had the car for a week and its still sitting where it was left and Im very very happy with it. Will it mean I go there for any future servicing? I dont know, Its certainly meant that I will call first to find out what the cost would be and if its comparable to my usual people then yes Id definately consider it. Getting a nice loan car for the day helps too. So thank you Jeff Gray for a very pleasant experience and I sincerely hope it continues.

Im not being nasty but I love comments like these. They always sort the men from the boys

The coupe is a lovely colour

I do but Id rather have sports leather

I didnt put anything specific in my post last week about this car but by inference Ive already shotgunned the goodies

Good riddance I say

That doesnt surprise me at all. His car has been for sale for ages so he may be keen to make a deal. I have no idea what they would be worth though. My 18's cost me $800 with knackered rears and wrong profile fronts and there was a set of 20's that were on for $$$'s, cant remember them selling though. Maybe offer him a grand and see how he reacts, they really dont come up very often.

Does anyone know what doing something like this would cost in NZ ? The article is obviously from the UK and they mention its all bolt on parts etc, but it would be interesting to know if it could be done here and for how much.

Enough is enough people, the next person to make an ill-judged comment on this thread gets a warning. Im tired of the back stabbing and people fckuing up a perfectly good forum. End it now.

Thats a bit harsh Ian, is it any different to the Man vs Woman oil changing one?

There is a bloke on TM supposedly selling an M7...hehe He has a couple of sets of alloys apparantly so perhaps you could tempt him with some reddies.

If you had spent more time at school learning how to spell and understand not to make disparaging comments about other nationalities this thread would still be open. Sadly you didn't.
