Rear number plate surround

I know there's probably a thread on this somewhere on here, but I'm just wondering how to remove the rear number plate surround and replace it with a new one.

Any help is much appreciated,

Thanks

Where would be my best bet to find a decent used set?

Do any traders on the zone have any kicking about?

tech 2 steering wheels

Hey guys,

Currently have a tech 1 steering wheel, but would love to pick up a tech 2. I know they came in 2 sizes (270mm and 265mm). Which is the size to get?

Has anyone got any advice?

Thanks guys.

Re: Can any Aussie zoners help me out?

Great idea. I reckon by advertising on this site you would get plenty of takers to buy parts off you by consignment and stuff them all in a container. I, for one, would gladily contribute to your expenses if you could get me a set of 15" BBS baskets. Plenty of other items here are really rare or ex...

What does everyone think of kidney grilles painted black? (or any other colour for that matter).

I think it looks good on red and white E30s but thats really it.

Just wanted to get peoples opinion on this to see if they are divided about it or not.

Headlight wipers

I have always loved the look of headlight wipers on the E30.

How difficult is it to install them on a car that doesn't have them?
(318is)

Did they only come on the 325i? Were they an option or part of the standard spec?

Cheers guys. 8)

RHD 320is

I was reading in the zone wiki that the 320is was only sold in Spain and Portugal due to heavy taxes for engines over 2 litres. If this is the case then surely all 320is's manufactured would have been LHD? I saw a RHD 320is around the corner from me yesterday and I'm just wondering if they did manuf...
