Those wheels look disasterous. Detangoing looks crap there too.

Otherwise, it's nice I suppose.

Detango never looks good, but people are still doing it :confused:

Never? There are many occasions where it looks very good :confused:

It's difficult to tell the condition when the picture quality is as bad as this. Might as well not have bothered tbh.

I don't see the problem with orange lenses, on ANY car.

In the majority of cases I have to agree. There is the ODD car where it looks better with clear lenses, but certainly not most.

Why do you have a gravestone outside of your hosue Neg?

Wow, fake e46 M3 wheels really don't suit the e36.

I put a real set on the missus' E36 coupe for a laugh once, looked mad

You're in the minority then. An E46 looks especially bad with orange lenses, not so bad on an E36 like this though.

Some colours of e36 work with orange. White, and red work. But the darker colours look awful with orange lenses.

However if you are going to de-tango, use OEM parts, as those cheap-ass lenses look awful.

And lose the foul indicators, as well as the chrome window button surrounds/steering wheel strip.

Eurgh.

I wonder who kept buying them off the bay. Always seem to be on there. Look awful.

Milehouse area by any chance Neg?

I don't know, I'm really quite liking my orange indicators now, but yes, if you do it, use decent ones not those horrific ones, and also do all of them, not just the fronts and side repeaters.

Also, don't the sports have chrome wheel strips?

I'd lose the handbrake chrome button though.

It isn't a sport, as they didn't make a 325 sport

Plus it hasn't even been brought to sport spec, given the lack of kit.

What?

You said "foul", I read it as "fuel"

And so I looked for fuel indicators.

Awesome, as it's a 323.

Yeah, it's still got standard front and rear skirts, cloth interior and such. It does depend on the previous wheel. Mine's nearly had it, but it's quite hard to find a non sport wheel for a sensible price. I was offered a sport one for £20, but it's out of character with the rest of my car really...plus I don't like the chrome bit.

Also, if I'm taking the wheel off, I'm doing the OBC at the same time...and I don't have one and can't find one with wiring for cheap enough.

The OP has an analogue clock though too...

Oh yeah, didn't spot that

I'm now wondering why a 1997 car has a pre-facelift front end, given that the facelift was in 1996

I guess it must be accident damaged!

Do the wiring yourself, its not "that" bad of a job.

InvaderGIR · 13 Apr 2009 at 12:11

I mean stalk and some spare wiring/connectors on the back of the unit itself, most come as just the unit.

The OP's car is a whole world of interesting...can we get the reg number please?

Rybo89 · 13 Apr 2009 at 12:22
