[QUOTE="andrewk, post: 418406, member: 3188"] Bro, you should look at Vincent's previous E32. IIRC, it was in this similar burnt orange color. Damn good looking car that was.... As to your questions:- 1. An alternative for the facelift side fenders is to buy the aftermarket headlights that comes with and additional panel to cover the gaps (example:- [url]http://www.mudah.my/Bmw+e38+projector+headlamp-3868650.htm[/url]) Not sure how well they will fit though, but if you do it with your paint job, they can probably do some bodywork to make it fit nicely. 2. No prob bro. I'm happy with his work. :) 3. I'm leaning towards the titan route as it is easily serviceable by the manufacturer and i don't have to change my springs. Also, price is reasonable IMHO. 4. I changed my old E34 windshield at MSG glass. They are located in near Tawakal Hospital. Workmanship is good from my experience. 5 (b). Do this when you detail your car after the respray. 5 (c). Dunno if its just cosmetic bro... the digital ones are dual climate control. Not sure about the knob ones you have. 5 (d). There is one in THAT chopshop in Kg Subang. Dunno if it's still there. Just to note on the retrofit, from what I've read the buttons will not work and i think even the mounting brackets are different for the older models compared to the later models with the msports steering wheel. Here are some links for your info:- [url]http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/476495[/url] [url]http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/417260[/url] Some guy even added paddle shifters from a merc!! [url]http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/600730[/url] :rock: 5 (e). Was thinking of converting mine to a 2 din aftermarket system too, but the thought of losing the OBC stopped me. I was also researching retrofitting the wide screen unit, but looks like too much hassle and I don't know if anyone here knows how to do it (tho I have the BMW workshop manual for the retrofit). Good luck on your project! [/QUOTE]
