bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 A couple of slightly off-topic questions.... Do pre facelift mudflaps fit on facelift cars ? Im wondering if there is any difference to the rears fitting as the arches are different. I saw a programme from the UK this morning where a guy fixed a dashboard using glue to fill in the gap and then primed and painted it. It was mint after he'd finished has anyone contemplated doing this to their cracked dash ? Mine has dozens so I could always try it myself ! Keep the wheels Em, look much better than baskets IMO Try it out and tell us how you get on, I have contemplated doing this too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 26 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 Keep the wheels Em, look much better than baskets IMOthey do look cool, except for the fact that they are the completely wrong offset and scrape the struts and splash guards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B*Emz 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 What Ollie said. They make for hundred point turns to avoid hard lock. Some fool was obviously very determined to put them on the car.. I'm getting a bit desperate to find goddamn wheels for it now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep the wheels Em, look much better than baskets IMO I've got a dash at home with where someone has filled with a glue, looks sh*t. Do it right, and do it on a spare. While your at it mod to fit a 7" TFT and some phat boost and oil temp. gauges. What Ollie said. They make for hundred point turns to avoid hard lock. Some fool was obviously very determined to put them on the car.. I'm getting a bit desperate to find goddamn wheels for it now! Looked good from the quick glimps I got of it. How desperate?

Keep the wheels Em, look much better than baskets IMO No, the rear flaps on pre-facelift vs FL are different (I think the fronts are the same) Its to do with the fact that the FL cars have a deeper boot and the rear guards are a different shape. Its a great looking car - would love to see some pics of the engine and interior as well. You should start looking around for a crack less dash. They seem to come up on trademe every now and then and while they are time consuming and a pain to install, it isnt a hard job and the end result is worth it. Dont even bother to try and repair the cracks as the repair is always visible and they will appear again soon. If it is only a small crack that is starting you could try and stop its progress by heating up a small nail and making a hole at each end of the crack - this should stop it cracking further for a while.

Thing is, the crackless dashs from what I can gather have been garaged all their lives. And as soon as you re-expose to our light, day in day out, whats saying that won't crack? Just can't win imo.

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Replacing a dash is a pretty big mission, especially without damaging something else and for the few hours it takes i'd rather work and buy myself something more rewarding than a crackless dash. i have a dash carpet which covers up the dash nicely sitting around home if anyone wants it, it doesn't look too bad at all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old_Skool_Bmw 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2007 hey Em, Nice looking ride you've picked up for yourself !!! Loving the wheels on it.. and the mud flaps I was looking for ages at getting one of these, couldn't find a really nice one so i just went ahead and got me an M3 instead, but i've still got the M325i down on my list of cars to own one day. So you opened her up in the motorway yet to see what she can do?? Laurence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theres a crazy number of Motorsports on tardme for sale at the moment too, think my last count was 5?? Mudflaps are long since gone, and BBS RS's are about to replace the wheels on it It's a nice car to drive, makes long distances fun, and shorter haha.
