e30 - Good Value: Servicing, Maintenance in the London area

Post Tue May 12, 2009 5:31 pm

Hi,

I'm new to the forum - I have had a good search of topics but cant find anything appropriate to my query. Apologies if there is something on this.

I have just bought a 1989 e30 3.25i Convertible (a car I've always wanted!)

It needs a decent bit of TLC and some work done on it.

I'm looking for guidance on somewhere to take it to get a variety of things done on it (below is a list). I only have 10 days in which to get the work done as I am driving to Spain on the 23rd and will be there for 6 months.

Work needed... (some in my mind essential, some not)

Must
- Alarm / Immobilizer
- Rear Bumper Clip
- Central locking (puller / solenoid)
- Wheel arches, fix slight rust on the wheel arch external
- Lift Exhaust

Would like to
- Driver side seat bolster (leather needs replacing)
- Fog lights
- Front Valance
- Strip below front grills

Also do
- Good clean
- Engine clean
- Wheels clean

Could add
- Rear head rests
- Front / Rear BMW emblems

-

Thanks in advance for any of your help!

Cheers,
Henry

Where about's in London? dips346 is highly recommended

I'm based in Hackney. I'm not too fussed to be honest as long as the work is quality and good value. It just needs to get done!

Thanks for your response.

He's near Heathrow IIRC. He may be a bit busy but definitely worthwhile asking him, his work is quality

PM him

Ant at A-tech would be a better choice as he is in Orpington much closer i'd say

Ha! Thanks Imys and Dips - anyone else recommending anyone please?

Something like this:

- Rear Bumper Clip (missing one - quick job)
- Central locking (puller / solenoid) fix
- Lift Exhaust
