Brian is it possible to connect the road speed sensor wire to a radio?

that's what I'm struggling with I don't where to connect the blue wire too?

I've connected the choccy blocks to universal connectors to make it easier for me to swap between head units in the future, but yes i do agree wiring does look odd had a bit of job wiring the speakers up!

pac1982 wrote:No expert but the way i understand it it feeds it with a very small elecrical current or just a quick pulse when you turn the radio on to tell the aerial to go up and then vice versa to make it come down again

So what do I connect the blue wire in the bottom of the picture too?

Sorry being bit dumb so how does it tell the areil to extend?

It's light grey with some wax marks

Good wash to clean off any grease and then a quick/cheap fix is shoe polish, the liquid type and then back to black.

This is only temp but looks like new.

How much do tech I spoilers go for in good nick? I have a standard, unpainted lip spoiler, but the finish on it ain't that great and it lets the car down IMO, I think a techI would be a worthwhile 'upgrade'. It all depends supply and demand, whens the last time you saw one for sale? They are so rar...

Pics very helpful as mines white too.

Picked up my E30 on friday from A-tech

puts a grin on my face everytime I drive it, 318i converted to 325i (thanks Ant)

I've gone with euro styling with an IS lip 35m drop original 15inch BBS but I'm not sure if I should put on the tech-1 spoiler which Ant gave me?

Any pics would help.

Thanks

Has anybody done this?

Can somebody guide me to a retailer who sells OEM angel eyes, i basically want them to look like the current spec E90 lights.

Ok so brand new and shiny to the world of E30s and I know it needs new boots. Considering the potential for these things to wag their tails like an eager puppy, what do people recommend as a good all round/wet weather tyre ? Horses for courses I guess but hearing a lot of bad reviews about Avons an...

Fuel pump is fed by a green/purple wire that enters the car via the duct under the fusebox and behind the glovebox,guess all you need to do is put a switch in the wire....the wire runs down the n/s cill behind the carpet.

Hi
I've tried searching for a thread which give instructions on how to install a fuel pump cut off switch but can't find anything.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Hi
Has anybody used this for their bumpers as it states you don't need to prime the bumpers?

Or for best result prime, paint (satin black)?

Thanks

Hi

I'm thinking of purchasing a pair, but obviously they are not legal.

I am curious who has been stopped by the police

for having these, and did you get away with a warning or was you fined?

Thanks
