MY K REG CAB and M3 REP projects -updated 05/10 - pg 12

[Hellbound]

DaveD bought his hood from http://www.car-hood.co.uk/content.php?n ... 22&pID=147
I'm going for the maroon one I think (may just get a blue one and sell it the car tho) and like the bigger screen! The hood itself is well priced but they charge about £300 to have it fitted.

FMH, do you know anyone who can convert the electric hood into a manual? I think main dealers charge about £300+. Hopefully mine will be fixed as there's not much wrong with it but you never know with these things.

[Faz2kool]

Y would you want to convert electric to manual.

because electric hoods mess up all the time.....my one works fine.....

[H7AVY]

My hood works perfect ever since ive had it.

[Hellbound]

My car has done 1000 miles in the last 3 years so the mechanism is stiff. I think it just needs lubrication.

Nice one for the offer mate, cheers. I'l surely take it up if i need to.

Its got to look really good... Better than the E36.

Well it has been a while since an update, mainly as i haven't touched the car since. A bit too cold and me being a lazy sod.

Got a few bits and bobs for it, including two sets of leathers; one had decent leather but battered frame/mechanisms, other was opposite. So today i started dismantling so i can put one together and dye it.

[FMH]

Oh, and heres a photoshop Ollie kindly did for me, rough idea of how the car will look:

[IMRANSHAF]

looks like a good project, i think the new M3's are alpine white III, which is also an e30 colour

I'l try to have it done, but not really an issue, i should have the m3 replica ready by then.

I think that would be a bit too bright and too modern for an e30

I "think" it will go well with the red leathers and gold centres/studs on the wheels.

Add a bit of pearl and it'll look good

[DanThe]

Y would you want to convert electric to manual.

No, its because most people dont know how to operate them correctly or how to repair them properly.

Looks like a bodged up POS in a shite colour innit

[FMH]

Add a bit of pearl and it'll look good

Thats what i plan to do, just a little amount

Those rear lights need changing mate to pull it off.

Tbh, i prefer the bigger lights. Plus, i can't be fuk'd to change anything, just want to put it together and get them both sprayed for summer

[Rav335uk]

Why go through so much work to leave the rear lights in??
Change them over, i know its a whole new panel, but atleast it'll "Look" right.

I brought it as it stands, the pics are from the CD the previous owner gave me.

Its staying as it is for now, just spray it up and drive it.

[Nobby_N]

Is that the Maj power one?

Does look really nice, but changing the rear lights might be something you can do to it next winter!

[FMH]

[andrew320i]

White does look really nice!
