E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Won't you fail the WoF if you take off the high-stop lamp? I had a big argument with the compliance guy over adding one to mine... And pretty sure facelift and pre-fl have the same boot if that makes it any easier.. Edited September 5, 2013 by E30 325i Rag-Top Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And pretty sure facelift and pre-fl have the same boot if that makes it any easier.. yes, but that said, my hiace also doesnt have a high stop from new, etc etc. I certainly am aware of that. im planning to come up with a more descrete one in behind the rear seats or something, can look at that when i get a garage. will be keeping the bootlid thats on there anyway so i can put it back on later down the track anyway, so not too bothered, only four bolts to swap (then a few hours spent trying to get it to line up again) Edited September 5, 2013 by _Ethrty-Andy_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huff3r 347 Report post Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) There is a date that all cars after which have to have high stop lights. Not sure what it is but my 85 E30 never had one, nor does my 87 Range Rover. Even some early 90s cars don't I believe. Edit: 1 January 1990 it is. http://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virm...nted-stop-lamps Edited September 5, 2013 by huff3r Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted September 6, 2013 Ooooops, sorry about the thread-jack Andy - back On-topic. I have a boot-lid here, paint is pretty rough (peeling clear coat) but it is straight and pretty solid. No 325i badge on it (but would need to come off for painting anyways) but does have spoiler holes... Post would be a killer, maybe come have a look-see when you are up this way next?
