Lucan 196 Report post Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) /\ this is cool, much wiring involved in moving the check lights?

Forrest 35 Report post Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Just need to unplug it at the roof, pull (read: break) the plastic clips that hold it the wiring to the roof and down the A pillar behind the covers, then feed it under the dash. Easy peasy. To get the panel to fit properly I filed down the stereo slot as it is slightly too narrow to fit, then just silconed the sh*t out of it behind it. Hope that helps.

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 Nath.. didnt get that idea from the feature in classic car last month did ya?? was reading last months copy in the staffroom today and saw that either the M3 or the 325i had that mod! brought a battery charger/trickler for the black car so i dont have to jump start it every time i take it round the block. also brought a kill switch for the capacitor and in turn amplifiers so they can be removed from the car when i need to and not blow sh*t up with live wires in the boot.

briancol 3 Report post Posted November 18, 2010 I pulled all the interior lining out to get the hood and pillars recovered. It's been sagging badly for ages, so I thought it was time to get it done. I've been procrastinating about it for far too long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
