Looking for a few things for my to-do list. Location is Bristol so would need to be postable or a 2/3 hour drive away. Where relevant parts are for a 2003 3.0 in sterling grey.

Hard top: needs to be in excellent condition, ideally with goodies (internal covers and tool, padded cover, stand)

Front bumper: pre facelift, fogs and washers compatible, in excellent condition including lower lip.

Clear lights: halogen not xenon, though would pay someone good money to complete a xenon conversion :)

Red or cream leather standard seats: must be electric memory and heated, in good condition with little wear. Door cards or anything else not required.

Undertray: in good condition, to replace mine which is cracked.

Center air vent: must be black, so think this means face lift with the silver stripes.
 
I have pair of heated memory cream seats,std undertray and a pair of facelift black h/lights which I bought on here ,these need the chrome rings fittedd also a front bumper complete with fog lights and centre grills.,will need h/l washer caps as I used them on mine. The bumper was not long sprayed before I replaced it with an m bumper.Colour is Toledo Blue £425 the lot
 
@weeksyz4 - thanks for the PM, have replied.

@maxman - you have a lot of parts :) thanks for the reply.
I'll leave the bumper for now - mine is 85% ok, just the lower lip is a bit battered (but looks fine until on hands and knees) but I have 3 parallel scratches on one corner, so I'm trying to find the most cost effective way of sorting them out; either a repair to my existing bumper or fitting a replacement sterling grey bumper which needed no work - getting a full bumper sprayed would blow the budget.

May be interested in the other bits and piece though. Some questions:
Seats - what condition are then in please? The cream seats do seem to suffer more so than black or red. Do you have any pictures available?

Lights - the chrome rings you mention, are these available to buy (or can they be swapped out from my pre-fl lights? not familiar with what actually makes up the headlight unit). If these are the ones I saw in the for sale section recently, any reason why you're selling on?

Thanks both :thumbsup:
 
Photo of seats,taken from my car which had done 60k.They are in very good condition.I bought the h/l as they were a good buy,I was going to buy some rings from a damaged headlight ,if you have the seats you can have them for what I paid

Hey Tim,

Google Quarry motors in Sheffield mate, they’re a BMW breakers, good guys to deal with. :thumbsup:
 
@Squadron Leader thanks, will send a PM.

@John - thanks for the tip, hopefully have all parts bar the hard top covered now, far quicker than I thought possible. Will make note for the future though.
 
Somewhat unbelievably, by Tuesday night I'll have all of these items sorted thanks to 2 forum members and a Lithuanian Ebayer :)

Thanks all.
 
Massive, massive thanks to Alan for sorting me out with these parts.

Not only did he (and Mrs Maxman!) save me a long journey by meeting me a good long drive from their house, he came armed with cushions, pillows and towels for padding and protection, helped load the whole lot into my car, and threw in a set of kidney grills for free. Total gentleman.

And yes it was a tight squeeze :)
