I bet that thing costs more than the car 8O

Saw the indicator stalk!
Previously owned loads of old E30s, E34s, a few E36s, E32s, E39s and an E38.

Currently in a diesel Audi - miss me old E30's....

2 Solutions...

Firstly the easy way.... cut the end off the indiacator stalk (just need to work out how much clearance you need and chop away).

Second way is to fit the heated panel from a LHD car, as they will have the clock/obc on the opposite side so the head-unit will have enough clearance.

If you look in the pic below you will see what i mean.

It makes sense if your using a decent AV head unit( as you are)

It also means the OBC is easier to see as well
