I think your right. These lights are no good as no one gave me way on the motorway. Was wondering if they can see me indicating. Plus the reflectors are not visible at night.
did you get all the clips for it and the 2 side bolts
I already had the clips but to be honest, the guy in the garage said that if i put the valance on first and the bumper on afterwards, then i wouldnt be able to screw the nuts for the bumper back on as the valance was covering the holes? Not sure how but he just clipped it in without taking the bumper off. Gona get Sweep to check it out but ive been driving with it on for a week and its not fallen off.

Cabrio cloth seats dont.

The ones in this car have been retrimmed so were prob cloth to start with hence the vertical stitch.

The outside is all done. Gona start on the inside next.

Gona strip it all out. Sort the wiring for a stereo. Clean carpet. Check for water leaks etc. And replace door cards.

I noticed there was a lot of water sat in the boot on one side. Any ideas how to get rid of this?

Check the inside of the boot, by the back lights, was this a chrome bumpered car?? if so, the origional bumper bolt holes will be the cause of this as they are open, and water from the rear bumper dripsdown and into these

Looking real nice, loving all the black add ons.
As for your rear lights why don't you put your hazards on and have a look if people can see them?

perhaps if you're after something lighter you could get something like these

That is what i am after but not to bothered about that yet. Bloody weather doesnt let me wash and polish it. Should shine once polished as new paint.

Still a few minor things to do but thats part of owning an E30 i suppose. Forever doing things to it.

If your selling those lights then let me know.

Looks real good. You need a mtech 2 upper bumper, smoked headlights and these rear lights:
