Evo / DTM Type Hood Seals

[Nick_TBMW]

Thanks mate, why haven't you fitted it?

[march109]

I have fitted one, on my delphin grey sport, but as I'm selling the diamond black sport now it seems silly to fit when I won't make the money it cost me back on the car!?. £18 plus post is still less than I bought it from zimmebimmer1 supplied it to me for. PM me if you want it.

I'm buying one from the group buy but for the boot, afaik BMW don't do one for the boot.

[Nick_TBMW]

Ah, that makes sense!

PM heading your way ->

[DaveD]

Ace,Thanks for sortin all this out! so do we all need to pay you some more money to post them to us??

[GDBN]

Apple ... have to wait and see if the customs man wants a cut.
Hope that postage will be the only extra.

And Dave .. thanks for your work in sorting this out.

[DaveD]

Right got an invoice from Parcel force and am picking it up from their depot tomorrow..There is a bill for VAT £33.34 and Parcelforce clearance fee £13.50 Total £44.84 as there are 34 items that mean an extra £1.32 per item + whatever postage...

If you could give me a total i'll paypal you it or postal order which ever you prefer, just moving house at the moment so its abit difficult to get to the PC

[Onz]

are these still available?

[DCColegrove]

are these still available?

Currently they are not, I am looking for another manufacturer though.

In the meantime I do have a supplier for the material but it is in China...The quality is not bad but definitely not as good as the USA made stuff.

If there is enough interest I would set up another Group Buy for these.

When (If) I find a new US supplier I will post here.

[march109]

Why don't you buy them from BMW???

[Onz]

why were they put on the m3?

[march109]

Apparently it improves aerodynamics. The bonnet seals are available from BMW the boot seals are still available from the company supplying this group buy, just not at the group buy prices. Don't see the point in sorting out a supplier and manufacturer for a product thats allready only £25 odd withought discount!

They drastically increase under bonnet temps though and cannot be removed withough loosing paint, they really do stick.

[DCColegrove]

Hmmm, no they don't raise the underhood tempratures.

The BMW Evo hood seals just didn't do it for me, closing and fitment problems...So I had this material made.

They are out of stock ( http://bmwzenperformance.com/e30-products.html ) because the manufacturer I was using went tits up.

[Onz]

temps might go up on a 6 cylinder but they were designed for 4 cylinder cars right? the airflow pattern under the bonnet is totally different.
