small update


stripping parts off my old bmw and when stripping this part off I thought hhhhmm I wander


the porka has a lack of storage space inside as mine doesn't have a glovebox so decided I'd see if the e36's cargo net fitted and sure enough

Nice shine on the paint job especially shows on pic 2 & 6....what products do you use?

Like the cargo net idea, is it Velcro fit or screw on? Also what LEDs you using? I'm thinking of Changing all my bulbs but the world of LEDs is a minefield each claiming better brighter more Kelvins and the others sellers have inferior products - HELP!!!

products wise I used auto glym shampoo and conditioner followed by meguirs clay with autoglym detailer
then autoglym resin polish followed by autoglym HD wax
wow that almost sounds like an auto glym commercial
cargo net wise its in with screws that go through the carpet


LED wise I cant really advise as mine were just cheap ones off ebay
rear LED lights themselves are from dectane


hope that helps buddy
and thanks for the comment

Cheers for the infomercial

I've never detailed mine but nearby I have a great hand car wash so give it the platinum service. I'd do it all myself but can't figure out the clay bar thing or the order of application.

Re: the LEDs, I found a place on eBay based with over counter sales shop in East London so may head that way....are there any known issues with fitting LEDs triggering error messages? I was looking to do interior and rear plate lights. I guess this question is open to everyone, seems such one of the cheapest and easiest of mods to carry out.
