Title: Euro DTM E30
Post by: Nivola on May 02, 2008, 09:54:30 PM

Okay, I'm just about done with das Viereck! :D

Here she is with the smoked rear taillights (and you can see the headrests in the rear seats), Euro smiley projectors, euro grilles, DTM wiper (and not pictured, a lot of sweat, swearing and blood on both my part and my buddy's). :eek:

Remaining items:

- AKG short shift.

- Fixing my fan-blower motor (from doing a *^*%%* job of getting my old windshield motor arms out for the DTM ones.)

- A nice wash.

And...

And... still waiting for my D-Force 13# rims... :foottap:

And yes, I know I'm nutz.  :)

Is that lamin-x on the headlights? The car looks absolutely killer, the smoked theme plays out well with the blacked out kidneys well, awesome.

Thanks.

It's urethane film from BavAuto on the headlights; it doesn't effect the light output once they've been on for a while.

Where'd you get the black grilles from? I really want black ones, but all the black ABS ones i seem to find are more of a grey then a black colour. Or, did you spray them?

Are your tail lights smoked US tail lights or Euro tail lights?  I installed Euro tail lights yesterday but the inside cover does not fit them.  Has anyone else out there have a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

I like everything except the film on the headlights, if they were the Hella smoked ones, it would look much better.

Do you have any pics of the exhaust system, or any information about it?  It sounds really good from the video on your website, probably one of the best sounding M42's I've heard.  I would like to get something similar made when I get the time for it.
