Hi, i am thinking of getting a few small upgrades for my car:

- clear third break light
- clear side indicators
- stubby aerial
- cruise control retrofit parts
- 108's or CSL rims

I know a lot of people here have made some or even all of the above changes to their car. Could i ask anyone who has bought any of the above to add a link to the site they bought each part from, or if you have bought direct from a stealer, then just add stealer... As CJ mentioned in a post last week, we all have different experiences with different websites etc so i would just like to where seems best to buy any of the parts above, thanks in advance all...
 
I've just bought my brake light and other such bits from the specialist I use (Didcot Autos), who buy BMW OEM.

Stubby - Mangowalk is the popular one, eBay (shipped from the US).

If you're after 108s go to Buy and Sell - Ally had a refurbed set on there for good money!

I think unless you're getting used from eBay or breakers then stealers or Indies are pretty good. It is worth looking through / searching the Buy and Sell on here too - just had a quick look and others have recently sold 108s as well.

Might be worth bookmarking and checking every now and then.
 
Mangowalk for my stubby

Clear side repeaters from Stealers not expensive and you can use the badges from the orange ones.

Third brake light from Stealers again not expensive but i took it back looked out of place against the red tailights plus does not sit as flush as the red one
 
Thanks for the reply, i will have to wait until the morning to ring the dealers altough could you tell me how much the side indicators cost (roughly)... thanks again

Not 100% but i think they were around £20 -£30 the pair not got a receipt to check as my mate works for BMW so he bought them for me while at work you will also need the double sided tape to attach the badges check my post below
