3 rd it for BJV engineering, not perfect but for the money its great!

had two sets done, i set of 15" BBS and 17" Hartges very reasonable prices.

When i had my e30, i put a conversion kit in, it was 6500K improvement on the standard, if you were going to the expense of doing it i would say you need to upgrade the projectors as demlot says they are rubbish., its a fiddly job which demlot has done a few times, it worth it, plus i really would n...

when i had an e30, i put a xenon kit 6500K, while it was an improvement, i would definately say that the projector needs to be changed to get the best out of it, i would recommend not going over 6000K if you want the conversion to be functional. Demlots beam is virutally OEM, and is worth the extra ...

without sounding patronising, did you buy these wheels without looking at pictures of the wheels, thats a big no no. But whats done is done, you can get them refurbed from a place in hemel hempstead if you are after a value job, its a trek but may save some money. I also have one new tyre to fit 15"...

BJV engineering, search the net you will find them based in hemel hemstead, quite good value service, i had my 15" BBSs when i had my bmw done by this company. Ã‚£80 the lot, this was a couple years prices might be slightly higher.
I later had a set of 17" hartges done for Ã‚£110.

applies to fog lamps from the post preceding mine

you have to change the wings aswell apparently!

Given the length of time, you may have blockage somewhere in the system, did you replace the water pump aswell? I reckon it could be sediment, rust especially given the time frame involved here, best take everything apart and see if you can spot anything. The thin return pipe is notorious for gettin...

some similar models may work, but the question is you will have to wait for a faulty unit to turn up to try it, its rare to find front plates on there own, try you local car audio place as you never know!!

in my experience i have perfected a way to get the mirror back inthe slot, with one side of the pin in the slot, use the handle end of a hammer and place it on the t shape near the top apply gradual force and you will find its slots in easily, don't forget first to put the rubber trim surround other...

ruins the lines of the car IMO, but each to their own!

Be clear when you are selling the car, if it has a valid MOT the fine, you have done all thats reasonable, your not going check everyday whether its going to pass the MOT. Trading standards just issue guidelines, its not law! If you are a trader, then various provisions do apply so be careful otherw...

if its a 3.5mm jack plug to 2 RCAs then Ãƒ”šÃ‚£15 is quite expensive LOL Alpine do an interface for the ipod which allows you to control the ipod from the headunit don't whether it will work for the nano as its much smaller and the connections may be different. There is a brand Denison (i think spel...

If space is more important then i would save my money if i were you, and get a decent set of components on the rear shelf, it would give good results and you don't use up the boot! never heard of them, 8 inch subs are not likely to give you deep low bass, more likely to be punchy mid bass. Agains de...

Your head unit is suffering from clipping, simply this is where there is more power going from the headunit (to the speakers) then going into it. Two ways to remedy you could get a more powerful headunit or more often than not, get speakers which have a higher sensitivity rating ( this is the rating...

Check if your getting black smoke out of the back, could be a sign your fuel pressure regulator has had it!

what car is it? did the new box have a new filter, some lazy people put the old clogged filter back in from the old box!
I would suggest taking the car back where you got it done!

There are a few things you need to do firstly remove the card board backing from inside the boot, this is held on by push in type clips, simply pull out all you see and the cover comes out. then as above removed rear seat which is simple, hammer and chisel the spot plate which should take about 5 -1...

The right size for 17 x 8 would be 225/ ratio (you will have to work out what your standard is an subtract the inches to keep the rolling radius within range)17 - 225/ratio/17

On average i reckon its about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£500 inc a head skim if it has overheated to check for warping inc head bolts which must be renewed and gasket. Unlikely to be a oil cooler, headgaskets are common problems on these cars! May also be a good time to change if you have the money or if you have recen...

BJV have increased their prices it used to be Ãƒ”šÃ‚£20.00 + vat per 15" wheel
offer them cash as i have many a time and save vat!

I found on average the life expectancy of these bits to be a couple of years at the best! I have replaced it 3 times now, its an easy but annoying job! Those clamps are a pain to get of though!

You haven't mentioned the power of your headunit, and also what type of speakers your running inside the car. It sounds to me that you may have clipping going on, this happens where speakers of lower sensitivity are driven by an underpower amp which results in more power out than in, hence headunit ...

You should have these components running through a crossover thereby stopping the lower freqencies which are producing over extension on the speaker. If you have cross overs then check the install or return them as they should not be doing that.

If its coming when the radio is on, then your aerial cable may have been earthing on the body somewhere, amp give problem also if they are not mounted properly, you should aviod mounting amps directly on to metal. Also a headunit does not need fat cables for it work properly especially if everything...

These can become defective especially if they have been clogged up, try a new sensor it should do the trick.

my car is lowered 35 which more like 40 once it settles, looks like your shocks could be finished, when i lowered mine, i put some new shocks in aswell for convenience sake. Only scrapping i get is on the split bumps thats usually the middle of the exhaust.

watch out for tyre wear, as its inside wear, sometime you don't spot until its too late ( until you get pulled the old bill) you can get camber adjustment kits to reduce the negative camber so they drive alot better.

I think for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£80 they did a decent job, but how long is a piece of string, if you want utter perfection that will cost, i would still recommend them any how, there were a a few imperfection here and there, but they still look crisp!

if your a bit tight, BJV engineering did my bbs when i had them for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£80 cash (not vat if you don't want a bill) inc centre caps. Word of advice, take your centre caps apart yourself (ie he only wants the metal centre disc which is metal to spray) as the guy there is a bit heavy handed and brok...

I bought a new set of hartge centre caps for 17"s a few years ago for about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£30-40, if i remember correctly from Birds it won't be Ãƒ”šÃ‚£30 each for sure!

Placey not that i don't believe you, but....if these are proper components with crossovers then i am sure they are not going to get the low end 40Hz and lower bass, which is what i class as proper bass, using your argument i am sure a well designed and installed sub and amp package will out perform ...

your not going to get bass from components regardless of how you fit them and amp them, if they are crossovered then the bass frquencies will never get to the unit anyway. best spend money on sub amp or even 6 x 9 for fill in sound and bass, you have the components for the crisp mid and treble frequ...

spray is Ãƒ”šÃ‚£5-10 discount not worth the effort as most peeps have done this mod already!

I would try and find a kit which is at least 4300K, the higher you go in k the bluer it becomes which means less light, 6000K is the highest i would go any how.
