I'm on leave from school atm so I'm going to address some peeling underseal under the car, and give it a good service.

Shocking video, but I now have remote central locking.

Oh and this is my new headunit.



And Alpine's in the front.



Sony's in the back.

[Alex]

You should have a thin layer of material behind the speaker cover so you cant see the speaker through the grill

HU looks great, you wont be going back to oem now

Whats the teddy in the parcel shelf for though

ps: i thought your car would have a three speed fan heater ?

are you buying it then Steve, lovely black turd that

[Ollie_bwoii]

The drivers side has that material, passenger doesn't. Must have got lost at some point.

Headunit looks good, and sounds great well chuffed.

4 speed, why should it have 3 then?

Welsh dragon is to cover up hole in parcel shelf.

must be a really early thing then my 84 car had a 3 speed one. Not that it matters it also had I II III instead of the numbers

[Joe-318i]

looking good,

how did you get on with fitting the central locking, find it easy ?
iv still got mine todo at some point

[Ollie_bwoii]

Well 4 speed is better.

The temp control seems to gets a little stuck at the upright position though, when you are turning the control.

I'm ashamed of the central locking as it's aftermarket, but I've got oem parts at the ready if it breaks. Still its a nice luxury having the remote as well.

Very classy. My head unit giving me problems.

Thanks, and what headunit you got Mo?

[Ollie_bwoii]

Bit modern isn't it.

What's wrong with it anyway?

[Blitz]

Nothing on the display but it illuminates and still works. Happened after reconnected battery. Also the aerial cable snapped, so I'll have to open it up and put a new one. Sub is making strange noises sometimes.

To be honest I cant wait till I get the cabby so I can quality audio in it. I'm just trying to tolerate the mooredoor now.

[bmwsport]

Ollie where did you get the pre-facelift number plate backing and how much did you pay to give me an idea? Can these be bought new from the dealer?

[Ollie_bwoii]

I got mine off the zone for a tenner.
They can be brought from the dealer for not much more. Let me know if your after one and i'll get a definate price for you.

[Dezzy]

Good work mate.

Class looking interior

[Ollie_bwoii]

Thanks Dezzy.

I reckon I'm just going to (when funds allow) go for the -40mm look on mint bottletops with a jimmy hill in satin black.

Pondered with BBS for ages, but want too be different and stick with a sort of povo spec look.

[Blitz]

I heard GSF springs are good. £69 inc VAT.

[Alex]

Thanks Dezzy.

Its all about adding morsels.

[Ollie_bwoii]

I think it's got all it needs, sports seat, fog's etc... Might get a rear blind though at soem point.

Just want a classic look. I think 40mm is as low as I want it as well.

[Rav335uk]

Ollie, found this on the E30owners forum.You like?? Dropped on Bottletops.

[capri_rob]

Thanks Dezzy.

Like this ?

[Dezzy]

I would say it's has to be BBS but it's your car.
Jimmy Hill ftw

I lower mine by 35mm on H&R and it's not low enough IMO. I have bout 15mm lower top hats so that should sort it.

Especially with my new Hartge's

[Ollie_bwoii]

Rav, seen it but doesn't look quite right on a facelift imo.

Rob, yes that is exactly what I want, mintyness like that and with chrome obviously.

Dez, I don't want it too be too low, just more subtle than 4x4. Whatever you do to your car just makes it better and better.

[Ollie_bwoii]

No more blowing exhaust.

How do you remove the outer headlamp on the passenger side?





Also how do you remove the bonnet badge without damaging the paint?



Also had the first of many nice delieveries today, so will update again in the next few days.

[Joe-318i]

looks very clean under there, nice engine bay
as for getting the badge off, if you lift the bonnet up, you should see the two pins of the badge on the other side, just push them out and the badge should pop off

[Dezzy]

Ollie how many hourse does that sports exhaust free up?
Sounds very much like another chromie carb motor I dove reasantly.

3 large philips head screws and there out no?

Looks clean in the vid mate
