4 including the tiny earth wire!

[Alex]

4 then

[jaymos]

where did you hide the wires ollie

[Ollie_bwoii]

Aerial motor goes behind the side carpet trim in the boot, then the wires went throught the parcel shelf on mine, down the rear seat base and under the carpet!

[jaymos]

cool, think i might invest in one myself

Why parcel shelf.
You could have threaded them behind the back seats in the corner, that would have been easier

[Dezzy]

Doing a proper job there mate, nice to see you lads with taste waiting to pass there test. Cool car

[Ollie_bwoii]

Rav parcel shelf just seemed the best and easiest place, and it meant I could thread it in the sam eplace as teh speaker cables!

And thanks dezzy, test booked for 19th Novemeber! Fingers crossed!

[jaymos]

youre only 17 ollie? wow you have good taste in cars for a young chap, good luck with the test matey

[Ollie_bwoii]

Yep I'm only 17!

Thanks.

[jbh]

looks nice Ollie. wish you luck on your test

[Ollie_bwoii]

Thanks. Less than 2 weeks to go now!

[SUMPCRACKER]

I disagree with the majority here. I think it looks spot on as it is, high on bottletops.

Looks like somthing from a BMW forecourt in 1986. Not many left looking like that.

Yeah, know what you mean. It's a very classic look, especially in that colour. I like it.

I too only just realised the other day how young you are Ollie. Well done with your car. It would be a credit to anyone. Now get that test done so you can enjoy the fruits of your labours! ;)

[highlander112001]

sweet car
is that a 190 sitting next to it in the garage ???

[dom-1984-320i]

Always nice to see a chromie getting some love! Good man Ollie!

[Ollie_bwoii]

Thanks again guys! The suspension looks a little high, but when on flat ground looks alright tbh.

Its getting new chrome windscreen trim atm so I will update photo's when that done.

And yep that my My Dad's 190E.

[Bump]

Lovely car ollie!

Best of luck with the test

[Dezzy]

[Ollie_bwoii]

Thanks guys. And I wish dezzy.

[polsta]

nice clean looking car there mate,youve done well, i like these chromies

[Ollie_bwoii]

Thanks polsta. Wish it was a clean as your IS though

[FMH]

Now that is cleannnn, that chrome trim must have been a b*stard, remember doing it on my coupe ages ago.

P.s. O/T. You managed that photoshop for me Ollie?

[Ollie_bwoii]

Disgusting filthy is how i would describe it! And it was a b****** of a job.

And I did send you a poor effort of a photoshop, But I am just sorting out some pictures of actual cars to send you and see what you think.

oooops, i didn't get the photoshop

[DanThe]

We should get all these chromies together at the pod next year

+1 on the drop, its so high I can see positive camber on the rear!

[Ollie_bwoii]

Mine will look like such a shitter. Good idea though!

[m_jermyn]

Ollie,

I think you love your chromie as much as I love mine, dont listen to them mate. Like sumpcracker said, it looks the best as BMW intended it to look... High and proud..

For my own chromie im leaving it on the bottle tops, im not going to make any visual changes whatsoever not even tinting the windows, its gotta be like grandmas car. It will be getting double the HP via nice fresh 2.7 soon, and im even toying with the idea of adjustable suspension, so if I do want to take it for a blast I can wind it down a bit but wind it back up when its on cruiser duty...

I dont know about you but when I am driving my chromie and people look and smile at the lovley mint old car I feel great.


Mike
Chromies =

[Ollie_bwoii]

Thanks. I am very proud of the turd.

And I'm not sure on suspension, as sometimes I look at it and think f*** that sits high, but then others I think, But I like it like that.




BTW your car is truley stunnning how it is! Minty fresh.

[m_jermyn]

Yup minty mint fresh Ollie, Not one single piece of rust on it anywhere at all. The beauty of living in such a hot place. My plans are, build up the new motor, retrim the comfort seats, respray and then it should be brand spanking new again...

All in time however. Should have the motor done by mid next year I hope.

Mike

[Ollie_bwoii]

Awesome! Although I would recommend switch ing to sports seats, nice subtle oem change.

[/// KAMI]

Looking good ollie.....that is one clean e30

[Ollie_bwoii]

Looking good ollie.....that is one clean e30

I love it but its not that clean, just photographs well.

[m_jermyn]

Ollie,

Sports seats over hear cost around 350 pounds or 700 aussie dollars... Too much bloody money if you ask me.
