Thanks for the price. I will need to get this done soon, but for the meantime, I will have to wait.

Re:

The car looks a stunner. Beautiful, unadulterated classic copy of how an E30 convertible should look. I like the numberplate too. It should always be dry, then we can always drive our cars with the hoods down. Yours has the same lovely lip spoiler as mine. Much nicer than the standard one. It just h...

Re:

I don't want to go on the Hartge Register, because the only thing I have got is Hartge 16" wheels, which personally I don't think makes the car a Hartge. A Hartge to me, imho, is one that has had the engine remodified by Hartge, has Hartge reengineering, Hartge wheels, Hartge bodystyling etc. There ...

E30 Convertible Register

As no one has started a register for the convertible, I thought I would start it. It doesn't matter what model, as long as it is a convertible. Suggestions are to put your usual stuff, eg, model, engine, modifications, bodyworks etc As I say it doesn't matter what model it is. It can be the lowest e...

Car looks lovely. I wouldn't get a rear spoiler. It spoils the back of the convertible. It looks okay on a Sports, but it destroys the line of the rear. I think that most convertible owners would agree. A lot of convertible owners don't even have rear headrests simply because it interferes with how ...

Re: "325i" badge

I removed my badge off my car after it had been on it for 8 years and didn't have any problems with paint discolouration or anything. I did however, use a professional cutting agent and then gave it a good polish afterwards.

Alloy Refurbishers

Anyone know of any good alloy wheel refurbishers. I know of Lepsoms and have used them before, but want to find out if there are any others.

Looking at around the London area preferably, but will go further if the job is of high quality and also the price too.
