I'll see if I can find it. I don't know how to send links as I only use my iPhone. They were there last night as I was contemplating bidding. JIM

Respect to you sir, no problem I'm falling apart at a great rate of knots.
Went to Hamiton down the great lakes when I was In the Navy as we were on a small frigate and had the best 4 days ever.
Wow just google mapped it 21 hours and 31 min from you I just don't realise how big the place is.
Thanks for looking anyway.

Most people don't realize the size of Canada and our Dutch friends didn't understand, when I told them how much I loved the Rockies why I didn't go on the weekends. Could drive there , look at them, and turn around and drive back. Hope you find your parts. I'll keep a watch out! JIM

Hi Kitkat,

I purchased a Hellrot red pair and intended to colour match them to my roof but have reconsidered.
They are in near perfect condition of you are interested. You would of course need to get them chromed, which can be done rather cheaply via the chemical route these days.

How much is cheaply and can you recommend a place, what did you want for yours.
What are the alloy wheels on your Z3
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks Ken

Ken,

I think you're in Canada yes ? I'm in Scotland so cannot recommend anywhere for you to have them chromed however it's a relatively simple process which you can watch here.

I can't remember what I paid for them but happy to let them go for £50 plus postage. I seem to recall I bought a pair then one broke and had to buy another !

Thanks:), was only going to swap them over to see if I liked them, plenty of people would buy them off me, may be my son he has a 3.0 Z3 in silver, unless he sells it first.

A Jay Leno staffer demonstrates the versatility of it well on another YouTube video. It's widespread now, the service that is, I'm not convinced of its longevity though.
