euroriffic 601 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 Hmmm wooden roof rails could be cool, I do have a fair bit of timber left over from building the deck and some stain... and bonnet had a clearcoat on it Michael so dont have to worry about it running in the rain as being in Dunedin it can be a beautiful day in the morning then p*ss down about 3 hours later so swapping it on/off was a no go so thought sealng it would solve that issue. I used an electric spray gun to do it Max to get a better finish but was my first time using it and even with a practice spray i messed it up haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

euroriffic 601 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 Damn you Brent! You find all the good deals! If only there were more to be had down this way... But then again the missus would of got sick of my sh*t and left me hahaha That touring looks pretty good, but I do think 19s are too big for an e36, hence why I took mine off the M3...then put them on this haha. only temp tho, was either them or the factory 15s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

euroriffic 601 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 Thats a pain about the re-vinning, no biggie tho I spose. Mine doesnt ride too bad surprisingly, not as smooth as the 328 was with bilsteins HnR springs but the touring handles better somehow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1042 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 While I like the black rims on the white car, you are right, they are too big. Did you have to cut the motorsport rear around the towbar? I can't decided if I should leave the tow bar on or not on mine. Brent - how many tourings do you need If you part it out let me know, theres a couple of parts I'm after.
