316 dash bezels?

Honest question... What am I missing.

The head unit is centered and there is no OBC hole. Makes a cleaner-looking cluster for guys looking to delete their OBC.

I think it's the one where the stereo is centered ?

See if you can spot what's different.

[kronus]

^^ well, you have a clock instead of a tach.

best part about the first link is that twat never went to the yards and bought anything.

Let me give you a heads-up on the way things work with european vacations and yard rumaging. It doesnt happen. Not unless you know where to go or know people that know where to go. And we're talking big yards and at least a couple because they've already been scored. And do you have tools?

Yeah, maybe you'll find a yard and through the thick of their confusion of why in the world an american wants to rummage through old shitty euro cars and waste their time, you walk away with a german check or two and some euro grills... thats about all thats going to happen.

My point is, if you dont know what youre doing and going for, its a COMPLETE waste of time and it will blow your trip unless you've got it all in the bag.


If you find a yard and they happen to let you in, just go for anything small with german writing. Everything else is too big to cary back with you.

The way that it works best is a resident makes friends with the yards and they pull the parts in an agreement that he'll basicly be buying everything. Then that person sells to someone with the means of importing a large amount of goods (me) and sells to the US.

These threads always crack me up.

You're going on vacation to rumage through rusty yards? Read the above post and enjoy the vacation with your gf.
