Any updates Paul?

You say 5K year restriction. Does that mean you cannot do more than 5K a year? If so, how do they control it? Do they do yearly km checks or something? Whats the penalty?

So we not alone! Yeah, works out so much easier. I bought for my sister. But of course, my mum too cos I love my mum & got my g/f a present too. And all the kids of course, what kind of Uncle would I be if I didnt

Your thinking of the bits that hold the carpet down? I broke one hah. The ones shown above, are the sills - the plastic ones dont break (well I havent broken any yet). Back on topic: OP - how much the ones you are buying worth?

Yeah I understand that. But you gotta give other brands a chance to prove themselves, if they turn out s--t you just spread the word so no one else gets done by them. But so far, they havent proven to be crap, nice & clear & very loud. Heres a photo of what they look like: They are Designed in the US and made in China... just like Fusion is designed in NZ and made in China and Sony is just China(?) Dont know about the rest, but yeah.

Thats for the 2door. And at that price, damn. Thats close to $80NZ if not more? Then + freight. Be cheaper/easier for me to get some custom made...

(Under the tree)- TimTam Jar with wrapped biscuits in it. (From the Mrs)- H/D driver tool which you can change the heads and a Can of Lynx. (From the Mrs Mum)- Ford Toiletries Bag. (Still waiting for one more gift). But I dont find Xmas all about getting stuff, as in our family we only buy for one person (drawn at random from a hat) and then buy whatever we like for the kiddies. Gets to expensive buying for everyone....but always a good day when everyone comes over.

? You dont have to spend 100's to have quality. If you were local I'd happily show you what they are like. Not gonna win a sound-off contest BUT would be close (running off headunit at 50w per speaker, its damn loud & clear, need to turn the "Low" setting on headunit down to stop the Bass from extorting the speaker - if I go over a certain volume level). I will get some photos of them (still have a pair not installed yet). Will be getting an amo for them oneday, maybe when I install the other 2 in the doors.

Whats the diff between a 'M' & 'Non-M' 325i E30?

Not bad. If they made them for the E30 I'd be keen. If you like them, who cares what others say/think - its your car. Take my car for example

WOW. You guys spend alot on speakers. I got some 6.5" 3way 500W speakers off trademe for $50 a pair. Included a crossover per speaker & they are very loud & clear, best speakers I've ever had. Brand new is, Performance Technique.

Cops & WOF people cant do anything about it. Its fully legal, so long as the lights still work then its fully legal. You can only NOT touch the lens or the bulb, anything else is fine.

That must be a small magnet on that, to avoid hitting the window when it goes down? I was looking into building some pods for all 4 doors & putting 6" speakers on each door... One day

I took my pads out of the rear, didnt notice any difference - but if its no more than 10mm, that may explain why, who would notice that much. Also, I thought it was dodgy & NOT recommended to compress springs?

I like the mirrors - where did you get them?

Whats the price difference for brand new & 2ndhand?

Yes I did. He had none

I just saw that, was going to make a thread about it too.

Im in Hamilton, how do I get in touch with them? I assume they be shut for Holidays.

BIG time need a new driverside engine mount for my dirty 30! Today while driving with my mate, it decided to literally pack itself and shifted completely, which meant the engine was knocking on the subframe - didnt feel good, gave me a hell of a fright in peak hour traffic! But got home safely, and we managed to boogey it for now so I could get my mate home. Still knocks a tiny bit but engine aint going nowhere....for now So if anyone has one that is near mint, PM me or post in here! Need it asap, so can I do it before new years (wont be driving much until then, will use the Mrs car ) Also need the small shock that goes with it. I need the rubber with the silver part as shown here. And this black shock. You can also see how we rangi'd it up for now...dodgy but it had to be done. EDIT: Added photos.

Did you get it sussed Paul?

I'd also like to say, its great when people are happy to help out or lend tools Like today, didnt have the socket/tool I needed and "Eagle" came round to let me use it & had a chat. Was all good. Good to see there are people like this around!

Scrap buyer shuts at 12pm so was hoping to have everything done by 11am so maybe pick up around 9am? Would that suit you? Have you got 027, can you PM me your number.

I would take a photo but dont have my camera. I only need the torx socket for the bolts inside....just need to gut it and thats it (all torx bolts) the others are normal bolts.

Would you lend me one? Im not sure on the size though? But there is F'n heaps to remove - they are all over the place! But its small one. Have got the sump pan off it and thats where all the bolts are, on the inside. Not a good sight Ashkan, what you mean by that? I just need to gut the insides which is all held together with the torx bolts.
