got them on our Audi A6 and woulntd be without then. Boot is long and cnat see it for headrests as i am quiet small - cheaper than a new bumper on a decent car. probably not as necessary on an E30 as it is much smaller and easier to see (although i find visibilty on the CAB a bit crap with the roof on !)

damn right! i stood on the back and controlled the steering of the trailer with a police escort ahead and behind, with radio contact to the driver!

the amount of times we had to get in touch with councils "errrrr yeah the a445 well you need 32 replacement lamposts and 2 yellow central island bollards" is untrue!
awesome job but some of my final jobs messed my head up and couldnt carry on
