The R3VLimited rare parts thread

Nice to see you active here.

A genuine purveyor of ACS.

Why are the wheels rimmed with red paint? Cockeyed grill badge?

[TimeMachinE30]

Told ya so about the wheels....

[TimeMachinE30]

I may be out of the game. I got babies to take care of.. I got myself into a rich(er) man's game of very rare BMW parts.

Honestly, I been taking inventory and may be selling of my whole kit. I have chatted with many about it.. it just seems like the right thing. Body kit, interior bits, striping, badging... an ACS car in a box. You just add an E30.

And that badge at an angle... well.. don't think Chris Rossiter did it that way and I bet the instructions didn't say it either. :D

Regarding the Diavia, it is a full kit you install, not just the vent in the console.
You need to have the fans to put behind it.
Last time I checked the whole kit cost something like 850 bucks at Koed in Denmark.
You had to buy it piece by piece.
I can't remember all the parts, but it was something like 5 or 6 parts needed for a complete kit, along with some wiring.

Brand spanking new black Hellas for the E34, from the last batch made by Hella.
There's like 10 sets left.

Wow! Der Ruffian, how is your car progress.?

Slowly coming along.
Wheels are back from polish, I'm working on the right painter for the center, but it's hard to find the right guy.
My usual go to guy has stopped and moved abroad.
Went to Germany in oktober to pick up the ACS sides that was missing in the kit.
Calipers are ready for paint, and I'm starting to look at what color leather I want for the seats.
I'll start in the upholstery at work in a little while, and come august I'll get an apprenticeship as upholsterer, if everything goes the right way. So I'll be able to do my own interior, makes everything a lot easier.

This is one of the parts I missed out one.
BNIB AC Schnitzer E30 early model heckblende, the only one I've ever seen for sale.

"And resprayed in Orientblau 317."

How'd you do the respray?

[Der Ruffian]

Well painted in Orientblau then.

Can someone help me out with a Zender question? This valance looks to be labeled as Zender, just left of bottom center. But I thought there should be more of a connection/overhand above the fog light hole. Did Zender make slightly different versions of the early model front valance? And some photos look like the bottom vent holes are higher up than what is pictured here.

[kronus]

that looks real. the fog light holes don't come cut out from these when they are new, you have to cut them out. might have been cut by an idiot.
