kiwi6539 3 Report post Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Hello. I've finally have the extra bits of body work for my e34. I'm installing the 540i brake ducts to the standard front bumper. I know it's not a real difficult job but need to get cuts right. And thinking instead of doing myself getting someone to do it for me. Does anyone have any recommendations for a panel shop to do this or is there anyone who may have experience with this job that would be keen on a cash job. I Also have some m5 side skirts which I'm not sure if will fit straight on or some slight work needs doing to fit them. Has anyone fitted m5 side skirts to standard e34?? Any advice or names of people around wellington area would be great. Cheers Edited August 10, 2013 by kiwi6539 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted August 13, 2013 work through finding them on here if you want. Exploded diagrams, part numbers etc. www.realoem.com note that the E34 is found in the Archive section these days. I havent had a V8 E34 so cant tell you off hand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 Yes Jeff Gray are very reasonable for most non-maintence type parts like clips etc. $60 for a pair of E30 wiper blades etc though,a joke on routine stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
