Cheers both, didn't think you would be too keen on them kolee, as you're more of a standard man, I do agree with you on the rear lights though, I'm starting to go off them abit, dpn't think they would be so bad with just the reverse light left but thin k all red is a bit too in your face.

haha :thumb: cheers adi, I may revert back to standard at some point, not really sure yet, quite like it at the moment, but may get bored eventually and revert back to standard, my mums garage is full of e30 parts now, with a engine and gearbox in the centre, suprisingly shes being fairly chilled over the whole thing though winkeye

How are you?

May have to sort a few more bits out with you soon, will start to compile a list shortly.
