hey guys, I was wondering what products you guys use to restore or keep your bumper trims up to scratch so it doesnt fade white? Or know of anything around the household which will remove wax off the plastic trim? I tried the miguires Quick Detailer but it doesnt really do the job well. Cheers

Temporary number plate holder.

That is most correct. Although Nick has them wired up to his interior and parking lights which is even more cool as they fade on or off with his interior lights

DO IT! Never really seen some spaced out alpina wheels on a E30, I reckon it would look so sick.

Mmmmmm I like +1

I find this plan kind of useless as I never really call much and just text so I find no real use for this plan =S Have thought about replacing txt2000 with this as you can squeeze in a fair amount of words in 1 minute as with texting you would have to take ages and then have to wait for the other person to reply.

They were piss easy to wire, you just have to hack into the parking light wire and solder it onto that and your sweet to go. I didn't get any onboard warning lights when I installed mine.

DUDE! those wheels are so sexual! cant wait to see it on your car. RS's, Vmaxx, SICK combination! truely my dream E30!

Haha, I'm geussing you did abit of flying with him? My instructor is a guy named Hayden Leech, he's part of eurosport, used to have a white jag "ONDUBS" know?

Welcome! WHOA that is one beast of a machine you have there! looking forward to seeing it in the flesh in future meets!

hahahaha what was i doing? or you just saw the car? I was changing the A/C belt just this lunch time

haha! thats surely me, you a pilot yourself? I was in Warrens course listening to him talk about advice on getting a PPL. I always see a nice E46 330i on LMs i think it was who goes to ardmore too, ill get a picture of it next time!

saw this in the flesh today and wow its amazing. pure D1 hahaha

That is effing SICKK

I most likely will be joining the convy too. So what time is it meeting at papakura autobarn?

I'm jealous! you have a diamondschwarz M bumper! thats the exact same colour as mine and i've been wanting a M bumper but thought about the paint and how much it would cost..

Same with nick021! keen for ring and stripe but for E36 if its possible

1rotty: Yeah haha, just a tiny little bit of damage in that area is so costly, probably because they basically have to treat it as any other damage around that area. Zadkiel: yeah thats what i heard about AA and thats whats so good about them, I'm gonna try convince my parents to switch to AA insurance as they will actually do stuff for what you pay them for... Update: just bought in my car to panelmech this morning, hopefully getting it done and fixed by saturday! anyone going down to the whitanga speed festival??

Yeah that was what i was worried about him denying it but according to him he already contacted the police and his lawyer so he seems pretty legit to pay for it. Update: met up with him today to get some quotes around the place and went to "panelmech" in new market and got quoted 660 for the work which im quite happy about although I dont personally know what their quality of work is, anyone been there? but i finally found a picture i can upload of the damage since my computer was down for the past week. (it doesnt look like much damage at all, just a tiny paint fade a tiny dent but 660 to fix it is quite alot haha!)

Im with a insurance company called "rothbury" or something. When my parents got theirs they put me on it too... now i want to change to one that is actually recognized and that they actually do sh*t for what we pay them. The guy rang me up today and I gave him the quote i got for 461 and he said thats way too much and wants me to take my car to his panel beater and get it quoted by him to compare the price. At the end of the day, its still my choice to which panel beater I choose right?

ahhh thanks for the help guys. Yeah but I was just real unhappy when he wanted me to go to his panel beater which I have no idea of the quality of work. Went to eurotech autos and another panel beater today to get a quote $824 for eurotech and $461 for the other one haha. Also rang up my insurance company and they said that since i have 3rd party insurance they aren't gonna help me with anything apart from giving me some advice and that I have to do all the contacting and all this alone.. I hope this guy actually pays up not like when i present him with the quotes he's gonna say its not his fault etc then I would get nothing out of it at all..

Nick: ohhh I thought 3rd party was just that they don't care anything about your own car.. The guy just rang me and i asked him for his insurance details but he wouldn't tell me because if he claims it under insurance his insurance is gonna go up or some sh*t. So i just rang the police to ask them for advice and they just told me "too bad he wont give it to you, just ring up your insurance company to see what they say and if they wont deal with it, report it into any local police station and they should deal with it" That made me feel a tonne better. Going to eurotech auto panel beaters tomorrow to get a quote on how much it would cost to get it fixed. Recommend me just going to BMW to get a quote too?

Yeah i got insurance but my insurance is only 3rd party so would they still deal with it for me? yeah I should give him a ring and get his proper insurance details instead right?

hey guys, I was just going to the post office this afternoon and when i was just about to turn out onto the road, some toyota prada wasnt looking where he was reversing and knocked into my rear left wheel guard and there is a little dent and some scratches... We exchanged details like phone numbers and i got his plate number but i also took photos of his drivers license which were a Tonga license.. then i asked for his insurance details and he said "MTA" so i gave them a call to see if he was with them and it turns out that they arent even a insurance company at all... his words were "give me a call and bring the car to MY panel beater and we'll fix it up" to me that doesnt sound too promising because i want my car to be done and fixed properly instead of some cheap arse panel beater who isnt gonna do a good job at it.. he says he does have insurance though. I just want to hear on members thoughts about how to deal with this.. like i want to take my car to a reliable place to get it fixed up so it doesnt look all messed up with miss paint matching. How would i get this sorted with the way i want my car to be fixed instead of his.. it is my car that got hit afterall. thoughts? (my first time in this situation)

Intercourse.
