Maybe make in bulk and ship to the US....hmm....

Seriously, if you can find someone to manufacture a piece with similar texture to the stock ambler piece, you've got some buyers!!

Someone already makes those and sells to the US. I can't remember the company, but it has been linked before.
Edit: Found it with a quick search of this forum.

It says they're sold out, but I'd still call. It doesn't look like that site has been updated in a while.

It's Matts Kinby who used to make them. He has said himself that he isn't producing them anymore.

Yup, BTDT. I'm about to just red them out. I hate amber lights.

Okay, there were no updates recently, because i study at university in another town, so i can work on the car only saturdays.
Things i did so far from the last update:
I finished the shadowlining:
I painted the bumpers:

(not finished yet, one teaser:)
I bought a cheap sunshade (with toothgear problem), fixed it and installed it :P

It was easy to fit, i will make a unique hat holder from parts of this E32 hat holder, and from fiberglass.
And i assembled the front, just because i had to see it in one piece
I think i'll need a pair of clear blinkers to the front.

Great job so far... How did you shadowline the trim? Did you prep, prime and paint?

The white lip looks good, but I think the wheels that you own look a lot better.

Beautiful car, but I don't particularly care for the wheels.

Love the car thus far.

Curious how you fit the rear sunshade to the rear decklid. I purchased an E38 powered sunshade, which I think is the same as what you have. Just not sure how to mount it.

It would look much better without the yellow highbeams and fogs IMO.
