Recently bought E36 M3 ... Recommendations please

[stevemacka]

Hi all

I have recently purchased a E36 M3, so far really happy with it. However I am seeking some recommendations, as have a couple of small issues I wish to rectify.

Therefore i would really appreciate it if people could post some recommendations on the following:

1. Arches

I have some very small rust/bubbling paint issues on the real nearside arch. Can people make some recommendations as to good workshops in the Hampshire/Surrey area that would be able to help with this?

2. Alloy refurb

Anyone had any experience with good workshops in the Hampshire/Surrey area that specialise in alloy wheel refurb, as a couple of mine have been introduced to kerbs.

3. Interior panel replacement

The E36 I have bought has the wood effect on the interior panels. I would quite like to get these replaced. Can anyone make any recommendations of people that specialise in replacing these in the Hampshire/Surrey area.

Thanks in advance

Change the rack for a Z3 one. Standard one is far too slow.

And fit a ACS short shift kit

And do not, whatever you do, paint the kidney grills black!!!

replacing interior trim panels is a fairly simple DIY job.

I might be interested in your old wood bits if you get shot



...more to the point, show us a pic of the beast!
