Seriously considering it just to investigate the sun roof drainage and mech!!!!! Might pop there tomorrow on my way from Brighton to London.

Never normally any good and its just pot luck.

was there a few weeks back. cant tell you if there will be much there this week but with the price of scrap being so high and all the breakers yards being closed down they have a high turnover. expect to find about 5 E30's, bear in mind they will already be raped pretty hard.

ste we must be neighbours im on the a264 at crawley down.

What a day at the breakers went there hoping to find a boot lid with no holes not only did i find 1 but instead i found 2, So me and stu are now the proud new owners of stealth boot lids but there also in good nic an dmine's the right colour stu needs to change the black to diamond (oh dear sty is gonna spray it himself).

Also stu got a roller blind and a obc indercator stalk and i found a obc gong someone had miss whilst raping it
