Had a look through the other day and they have quite a few E30 bits. Was wondering if they're a reputable company or not?

Yeah they're nice! Don't think i'm gonna be so extravagent tho! Just good ol' ABS for me

They'll look the nuts tho mate! Think i might have to invest in a cheap set and see how i feel about them, can always change back.

Ah fair enough. Just trying Google now for some pics

And found this...

Does look quite good actually, i think even without the kit they would look alright actually!

Nice one dude, they go well with the kit! Not sure how i'd feel about them on standard bodywork tho...

Cheers for the pic, both cars look ace BTW

I'm not so much a fan of the M3 mirrors. They look ok, but on M3's!

They look nice on your car mate, go with the rest of it well!

I was thinking more DTM style but wanna see an E30 with 'em on before i decided as they could look shite!

What mirrors do you guys have on your cars?

Do most people stay OEM or are there any aftermarket ones that suit the car aswell?

Opinions please!

If Mercedes used this on several models ,, i think it is worth trying it,,

i have it on my car and i higly recommend this conversion,,
it was on my car when i bought it

Yeah fair enough try 'em, just not my cup o' tea.

Kinda pointless IMO. Makes the car look like a bus

That's fair enough bud, i figured they couldn't be worth much more than that as at the end of the day, it's not a mint leather M-Tech one.

Yeah but i dunno how much this is worth yet! Also Sparco's are quite expensive i think.

Yeah it is spotless aside from the afore mentioned lever thing! I really need a swap for something else as it's my daily driver so i can't be without seats! :P If i can find some buckets like eBay specials then i'll keep it, or if someone's got a pair of Sparco's or similar then i'd swap for that. G...

Ah sorry i didn't realise they did different types for the IS. Mine's the grey cloth one. It's spotless, no rips, tears or stains. Only thing that does let it down is that the passenger's front seat doesn't fold when pulling the lever from the door side, but does from the driver's side. This is it.....

Had a thought today about ditching my rear bench and front seats for a set of fixed buckets.

Are the interiors worth much? Mine is pretty much pristine, should i just keep it in the garage and get some buckets aswell?

If anyone fancies a swap for some nice buckets gimme a PM

Yeah i'm with FMH, i think it looked good to start with. Sorry dude!

Very clean and tidy IS! Much more so than mine!

Roll on with the money spending! I'm in pretty much the same situation as you, lack of money and need to do stuff to the car!!!

Yeah the on the original badges the laquer was peeling and looked all skanky so i thought these looked better for the time being. Went to the scrappy to see if they had any badges but nothing! I've got the fog thanks bud, but just can't put it in as the bumper is all snarled up where it should fit s...

lol nice...

Only thing that i put on is the sunstrip coz the original sun visors are shite. I don't find the rest of it that offensive to bother changing any of it tho.

Gave the car a clean today and went out and took some nice pics in the sun 8) Here we go: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/rogodebob/SL380281.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/rogodebob/SL380282.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c208/rogodebob/SL380284.jpg http://i28.photobucket.c...

Thanks again for the comments, reason i was gonna go for a Tech 2 kits was coz the muppet before me has spanked the front bumper (along with the offside and nearside rear quarters!) which is why the fog isn't it as it doesn't sit in the hole for it anymore. So if i get a new front bumper i can have ...

Cheers for that buddy,

The bumper's i was gonna get are just Tech 2 replica's so will be brand new and need no repairs etc. I need to have a shop around and see where's cheapest around me.

Thanks for the info, now i know if i'm being ripped off or not!

Not had the E30 checked out yet, but i took my old MR2 Turbo to a place near me to get the bump strips colour coded and they wanted £200 for that alone! So i might not go there for the whole kit. There's a couple places round me where i haven't been so gonna check those out before deciding. Hoping i...

Thats pretty good going i think! What kinda tidying up as i've a couple of small bits that need doing aswell.

Let us know how you get on!

I'm looking to order myself tech 2 front and rear valnces next week but don't find many secondhand ones painted in metalic black.

Does anyone know how much i'd be looking at just to get the 2 bits sprayed? I know it varies place to place but if anyone can give a ballpark figure?

Thaaaaaaanks

Thing that gets me is that someone has spent a fair wedge to make it look like that!!!

Some people shouldn't be allowed money.

in regards to the full face covers, are they the kinda thing that you'd whip off at a show? Otherwise they'd just be protecting something that you would never see :mad: I'm still gonna get one if i can find the one's i like, despite the haters. If everybody did the same things to their cars, it'd b...

lol and a French thing...

But i like 'em on E30's too. They're just a fashion thing dude that has no proper use, like a Mankini!

You can get full front covers, but the clue is kinda in the name "bonnet" bra, only protects the bonnet

It is done

Cheers bud

bodger wrote:whats the purpose of a bonnet bra?

Just limits stone chips n' that to your bonnet i think, more of a fashion item now tho!

got it

Yeah sorry bud, i might wait for one of the M-Tech striped ones if they come up as it's a similar price and i quite fancy one.

Sorry to have wasted your camera battery! I'm sure someone will have it!
