Hey guys, Set of four 16" weave caps. The BMW decals need replacing. $70 delivered.

Sent you a txt, cheers

Theres another Lagoon Green one being neglected out on Vogel street by Dunedin print. Saw it parked there for ages covered in dirt and cobwebs with flat tyres. Wonder if it's still there.....

Hey folks, I'm after a set of four waffle plates and caps to suit 16" BBS RS's. Bought some RS's and the seller never sent the centres, now he's out of contact.... I'm hoping someone here has a set.

As others have said, It's a legally binding contract to buy. However, in this case both parties obviously understand it was a mistake haha. The thing about Trademe that really pisses me off is they sold their soul when they sold the original company. They literally do not care what happens as long as they get their fee and no one is trying to get around that fee. If they don't get their fee or they find you trying to avoid it, may baby jesus have mercy on your soul. I've had numerous purchases that were legitimately purchased for reasonable amounts, only for the seller to sell it to someone else (after the auction has closed). Trademe just reply with a "tough sh*t" generic answer. I've also had a couple of trades where the seller has done a runner with my money and neither the Police or Trademe really care. Bought a gearbox up north a few years back, had the guys address, two of his car rego numbers, workplace etc only for the officer "investigating" it after months of following up with him to cold shoulder me... but that's a whole 'nother box of frogs. Another is the auctions where reserve is met, numerous bidders, only for a couple of days until bidding closes the auction is withdrawn. Trademe gets their withdrawl fee, they don't care. Bought some AMG Aero 3's last month, paid the guy then after weeks of messing around he refunded me my money and gave me some story about how he couldn't sell them anymore... in other words he sold them to someone else. Basically, unless you have loads of money to take them to small claims and a small team of PI's to locate them... TM is just a place that relies on peoples good will and ethics.

Excellent tips, thanks. I used the engraving tip on the Dremel but at half speed with no tape/writing. Might have to practice on some spare metal. What do you mean stain with enamel? Quite like a Bronze finish, got seven more here I can play with haha.

bump, also got a bunch of M62 parts if anyones after anything

Just got a set of RS's with tyres down from there for 130 courier to my door, prob about the same I'd say man.

Interested in style 66's? Got a set with near new tyres.

Probably a sh*t load better I'd say. The silver really wasn't what i was aiming for but had spent the money and painted it already lol. Could definitely chuck a few on Tardme, the clock inserts are about $20 delivered.. I just don't know how much to list one for. Going to make a lamp out of the my 190E's cam shaft, just need to find a machine shop that can drill longitudinally through it for the cord to run through.

Hey folks, Just thought I'd leave this here... Made this clock for my Dads birthday today, first attempt at one and first attempt at engraving. I think my engraving needs some work and for the next one I think I'll find a different clock insert as this one needs to be removed from the bearing cups to change the battery/time. The paint was supposed to be stainless steel but i could have just bought a can of silver for half the price... maybe I'll do satin black next. I also toyed with a style using just the rod, minus the piston. Cheers!

Buuump

Hey guys, Got a good condition 5hp24 from a 98 540i, shifted smoothly, no problems. Comes with torque converter but has the common lock up problem. Was removed from my 540i that had timing chain guide failure, sold the shell. Can arrange freight. Located in Dunedin. $500

I would rather stick with that broken windscreen than get Smith and Smith to do it, even if it was free. I'll never take my car to them again, after having two screens done one in Dunedin and one in Queenstown and both being terrible jobs. I'd definitely go to a dealer.

Engine loom as removed from car. Can come with fuel rail if wanted too. Nothing cut, Unplugged from DME etc, unplugged from engine and trans etc. $50

Naaa an amateur lappy from me, might offer a towel afterwards. Also have a laptop, yes.

Damn, thats nice and tidy! If i had the coin I'd be keen to replace the missus' car but take a free bump in the mean time. On a side note, know anyone with a slightly cheaper E30 or Golf in town wanting to swap for a lappy? Sealed, insurance replacement. Runs DotA and BF4 on ultra. High specs.

interested in Style 66's?

Hahaha i actually had a giggle like the Z driver, love it.

This. Loved the wiper on my 190, when i got the E39 i really missed it. Now i have it back in the S124 and loving it again It's quite cool to watch it work. Have taken both units apart for service as they need repacked with grease after 20 years before the gear strips out.

Hey guys, Selling a set of Style 66's with near new tyres. Rear tyres are Maxxis Victra 255/40/17, front tyres are Firestone Supercat 235/45/17. Good condition, front two rims have a little curbing as can be seen in the photo. Will take $600, can courier, roughly $35 a wheel. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=895658461

Were you the guy that asked me on the auction about them?
