My name`s Tobias, I`m 25 years old and located in bavaria, germany.
I`ve got 2 33 1.7 series 3:
A black sedan, 1 pre-owner, incredible good condition, no rust, interior as good as new. Just mounted a steering wheel and a gearstick from a P4 and some beautiful Ronal A1. Note the white side indicators, too
The second one is a Sportwagon i bought for the winter, not a beauty but it works. |

Where did you get the white side indicators? |
I'll second that. If you come back saying you made them yourself then you're going to be quite busy making them for all of us!!
Welcome by the way and very nice 33 you have there. |

I made them myself indeed
Originally they were built for a BMW E39 (series 5, built between 1995 and 2003). I cut of the glasses of both pairs of indicators and glued the white glasses onto the holding plates of the 33. Height was exactly the same, but the new glasses were about 2mm narrower. So the gap between the indicators and the black rubber bar is a little bit wider, but who would mind on a 33 ?
PS: Indicators got a certification mark, so there won`t be any problems as long as you use a yellow bulb. |

So am I, but the indicators woul take 1 minute to switch back to original ones, so that`s ok.
Just do it, just takes about 30 minutes to modify the indicators and some hours for letting the glue dry.
I`m still thinking about lowering it a little bit, not more than 30mm, what do you think ? |

Not half as hard as I had imagined before, luckily I found a set of them on ebay just 2 months after I had bought the car.
The Nardi wheel had been much more difficult to find, finally I got one from Manchester |

John, I'm with you on the originality side too (ahem- apart from P4 alloys, boot spoiler, Nardi wheel, K&N panel (some kind of similarity there! ))
But I do like a tasteful mod that enhances the look of a car and those repeaters do it for me too. |
