    Vert panels.

    Did you know that the convertible has different front panels than a coupe?

    Yeah. Neither did I. Apparently theres a slight indent at the end of coupe ones. There isn't on the cabbie. So it looks dumb.

    Anyone else experience this?

      Sort of. RIght now I've got coupe black panels in. They look fine, cept for a small gap right at the top corner near the door lock. What sucks is that I had a spare set I was going to use for getting the centers redone, but now I have to find black cabbie front door panels. Blah.

      How did you snap off the door lock things anyways? on BOTH doors, no less?? :)

          This car needed love. I have had 15 e30's - not one had broken door lock shafts. ;)

          You're really gonna love what I've done with the ol' girl.

          Tried taking that non-bilstein shock off the back - the lower bolt snapped in half, leaving the broken half buried in the trailing arm. Off to meineke tomorrow to extract it...
