yh i read it in ur post when you was dillusional (thinking of selling the cab) but you are goin for the e36 rack yh, is that a hard conversion, i heard the e46 rack was easier jus needed to do the ball joints or something correct me if im wrong

[Ali786]

nice car Ali!

not sure whats involved to be honest mate, i wont be fitting the conversion myself.

i think Danthe supplies the correct parts for the conversion and you need e34 u j's iirc

[ali50ferrari]

[ali50ferrari]

Looks like i may have some tec 1 skirts thanks to adi! ! ! Also are the mtechnic sticker inserts available from dealers still? and roughly how much is the sound deadening for the inside bonnet cost?

[tonybtonyb]

Hi mate sound proofing for the bonnet is about £35 from main dealer.

[bridgemond]

Looks very well man

[ali50ferrari]

cheers tony and bridgemond
also tony is that price a definite? anyone know bout the stickers? need 4 of them

[ali50ferrari]

So i got tec 1 skirts comin soon. I jus need advice on waxoyl its a first for me doing it :p anyone recommend how to use or wat product or any particular areas to coat thickly.

[MurphyE30]

what widht did you get the Calibres in Ali, are they 17x8 or 17x9?

[ali50ferrari]

Murphy 17x8s are the ones for an e30 they are the only ones in 4x100 17x9s are 5x120 so no full stretch for an e30 lol

[ali50ferrari]

so next thursday 8th sept the car is goin in for some prep work and rust deletion loool and then it will be getting sprayed up and waxoyled!!!
a question i have for you zoners is . . . . .

i have front and rear tec 1 valances with the chrome bumpers and i love the look and in addition i will have the tec 1 skirts and already it has a tec 1 rear spoiler, now what i am thinking is . . . .

A. remove the tec 1 spoiler and replace it with a heck spoiler in original black rubber
B. keep the tec 1 spoiler to match the theme
c. go spoilerless

oh and do you think i should get rid of my wheels sometime next year and get a set of so rare yet soooo sexy borbet bs ideally wanted 16x7.5 on the front and 17x9 on the rears but at the mo that is an idea rolling around in my head. . . ..
but advice on the spoiler would be appreciated

[ali50ferrari]

I think im gonna fit the "new" bootlid with out spoiler tale some shoys and see how it turns out. . . . .

[ali50ferrari]

I dont know if i asked on here before but can you still get the mtech stickers from bmw? need for 1 for the front valance 1 for the rear and 1 each for the skirts. . . . Anyone let me know
