put a Clio v6 in it

bump

Historically they have arrive 7 days after being picked up in Germany, so should get these tomorrow or monday, they were scanned in at Heathrow more than 24 hours ago, and usually they come direct from there to Auckland and down to me in Wellington in the same day. Hopefully you JAFA's stop having a tiff about a bit of wind and the plane can get down here.

Inflation hurts

that price and still not a bolt on kit???

S50/S54 would be the way id go too given the options. i originally was going to do M60 conversion on my touring (yes its E34 but otherwise similar issues to E39), but worked it out and really waste of money when you can buy one done and 'certed' from the factory. Was considering doing the S50 to that, but decided to go for M70 instead in the end. 540i Tourings both E34 and E39 are out there, you'll just have to wait a while as not as common as sedans, but no touring is. Unless you have a wagon thats MINT....

They don't if its narrow grill model. could be modified for the wide grill model, but you will have to mold the edges around the E34 indicators, the E30 doesnt start curving till the gaurd itself. youll see what i mean if you try.

another BMW added to the watchlist i have no intention of buying. sure does look tidy. very rare to see colour coded bumpers and interior trim in an E30 too, so special from the outset

Think i missed this, Happy Birthday for a few weeks ago Glenn!

argh, id like to take about 20mm out from the front and rear of mine too but same reason i can't! unless i park it on the shared drive but too far from the house for my liking Yours is looking really good!

525iX Touring in Days Bay yesterday, plate was 525IXT as well! was packed along there as it always is on a rainy day so didnt get to look/ask if owner wanted to sell etc

Please do not have this conversation for the hundredth time on this thread. Start your own if you must debate this beaten to death topic This thread sells wallart and photoshoot plates only..

So jags are as much euro as a Mondeo then

havent seen front mounted turbo like that! engine bay looks good!

i have never breathed in burnt rubber before

not factory. looks like a rolled facelift one, but hard to tell really without seeing it in person

would it be safe to put in brazier and toast marshmellows while waiting?

Tracking link for the germany-nz leg of the order here should you wish to look at it: http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?tracknumbers...ge=english& will not PM you the Fastways tracking numbers, but any hassle i will keep them on file etc.

I bet Lance would simply LOVE to do another V12 wagon project! have fixed my one now so back in working condition maybe some parts ones wouldn't be a bad idea though hmm Edit: actually if they are still there in January, I'm keen to make a deal. will be passing through anyways etc

havent fitted on a prefacelift, but on a facelift for a genuine towbar, you have to remove the factory bumper shocks and replace with the towbar mounting arms, and the rail sits behind the bumper.

also part where bumper mounts is different.

usually use EuroItalian (forum sponsor), have recently used MillAnd, and more than happy with both of these guys. EuroItalian do seem to have higher stock levels thats all

rookie mistake

hmm, ill be coming back from my four week holiday the weekend before and do expect to be low on funds. will consider it closer to the time! long way to go for just a car show. Ill see if some of my mates are keen to enter their humble 4pots as well

thats because its not listed due to copyright reasons apparently. It is a sticker, but its bullet proof, i scrub my plates when I'm washing the car which is almost every week, and both Chris @ germanplates and I can provide spare stickers should you ever need them in the future.
