_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 6, 2010 Hey guys. I am going to get a set for myself any way, but i thought i might as well throw a group buy up and see if we can get shipping a bit less The cluster rings are brushed aluminum and surround the fuel, temp, tacho and speedo. Not they are not the tacky plastic ones that are/were for sale on trademe. Also because of this you can paint them reletivaly easily if silver is not your thing The alpina tach strip is a vinyl overlay that goes onto the cluster and is laser cut. Both virtually OEM quality Picture: Cluster Rings will be between $60 and $80 dependent on the exchange rate and amount of people Tach strips will be $20-35 (So you know, im not interested in making a profit in these other than to get cheaper shipping) No buyer target, the more the better. Will leave this open for a week, payment wont be needed until its all pacakaged up and ready to go on thier end so you have a few weeks to pay. Cheers guys, Andy 1. ethrty320 Rings + Strip 2.

greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted April 6, 2010 I'm pretty keen on both. Obviously would be needed for an E36. Guessing the strip would be the same but are E36 rings available? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) these are the E36 ones. still waiting on a price as yet. These ones may fit other models as well? someone experienced with the later model BMWs may be able to chime in on that. edit: whoops last one is E30. these carbon backgrounds are also available but they look pretty ricey and tacky imo so i didnt mention them. could get some of those as well if someone wants them. probably around the $100+ mark Edited April 8, 2010 by ethrty320 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 28, 2010 erghhhh most of you that have said your intereseted have probably forgotten about these anyway and/or wondering where your PMs are from me, but so you know, after the person im getting them off said could supply as many as i needed, hes run out of them and has also since changed his mind and wont ship outside the US anyway due to a couple of failed/lost in transit shipments to the UK. tried talking him into it but he reckons its not worth it etc. Seeing as they got lost he probably doesnt pack them very well anyway. typical.. the one time its ME that does a group buy it falls through. If anything changes ill let you know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted April 28, 2010 Don't worry. Most group buys on this forum turn to sh*t anyway, I have given up trying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted April 28, 2010 Its probably best to do your own buying than trying to do group buys. As said ... in the past these have usually turned to custard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 Can a sign writer not just make that strip? Looks pretty basic to me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 ^ I made my own, its not that hard. Adhesive green paper is your friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 yeah its probably not hard to make the strip at all. it was the cluster rings i was more interested in, he just so happened to do the tach strips as well. looks like ill get the shitty plastic ones off trademe instead and make a trip to warehouse stationairy.
