Do you reckon that ebay chap in the states will do group buys? Assuming everyone hasn't already got these rear lamps...

Sorry if it's a bit off topic!

I agree, silver + clear indicators looks the business Miles.

Quote OT: does anyone know what my wheels are ??? Cos I have no

Defo aftermarket jobs, I'd say TSW maybe, they did one called "Star" or something like that which they look familiar too. I'd check with TSW.

I would say they're aftermarket alloys!!  they're not listed on the BMW wheels page!!  so not BMW wheels!

yeah!!!   they're just plastic lenses!  we have the same atmosphere here in the UK  lol

There's no electrical gubbings on them!!  you just plug your original bulb holders and wires in!!  (well they come with bulb holders so you can use yours or the ones that are supplied!)

No problems though!!  same cars!!

The first ones are a bit too radical for me! I want to keep the car quite understated although on a modified, red, e34 I reckon they would look great.

The US ones are exactly what I'm after. Are they compatible with UK cars though?

Ha!!   new you can get them for about £120,  i think Europarts do them. Autotint design, BM Town also do them!!   these were on when I bought it!  but i got my M5 ones off eBay for £80 2nd hand! 

Yeah, Throwing Stars are expensive!  but they're lovely wheels!

I've got two sets of them!!  the ones that are on and another!  selling the other set on eBay soon!

Maybe you are right. I always thought it was "Azure" blue but I'll check when I get home tonight!

Yours look fantastic, the throwing stars looking great. I couldn't find any at a decent price so opted for the later M5s with spacers as a cheaper option. The half-leather looks the business as well.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the clear rear lenses? I've seen them advertised in a few places but they seem over-priced to me (or am I being a tight-Scot again ).

Thanks.

Its "Azure blue" which I think BMW still use for the Ms.

It comes up really well (when its clean!) but I've got quite a few touched-up chips along the bonnet so really need it sprayed to finish it off.

Cheers JC - it was an azure blue one I was after so couldn't believe it when it came up for sale.

I just need the clear rear lenses and M5 back plate to finish it off.
