White indicators are spot on!
Still not sure about the wheels though.
But what a lovely car!

Havent seen to many e12 so the uniqueness factor makes it beyond cool. Color is bonerific too! Good choice with the borbets, just need some low...

Thanks for the comments/compliments guys.

The steering wheel i first bought didn't fit. So i bought another one with the correct steering center thing.
Here's a picture of the new steeringwheel.



And two more pictures of my beautiful BMW E12 :

Yeah i know bro, definitly needs to be lowered but i really can't do it. Perhaps airride in the near future, depends on how much it costs.

The hub i had didn't fit, i needed another one that was really difficult to find. So i eventually found the correct hub(after calling about 20 companies, watching the dutch market place and ebay.de) but the steering wheel didn't fit on it. So i found this one by luck and fitted perfect. Went to the dealer and buyed the BMW logo, cut it and fitted. I'm happy about the result and the way the steeringwheel looks.

And now some new pics :-)

Default Hood
The hood is bulged to fit the carbs on the early cars. Later cars came with L-Jetronic fuel injection and didnt have giant carbs stickign up. I wish I had a carb hood though, they look so much better. Nice build though.

Take the first steering wheel you bought (the Hartge) and take the 6 bolts out of the center, then take the 6 bolts out of your new one with the correct adapter, and bolt the Hartge to your new adapter.
