Car located in the West Chicagoland suburbs. Prices will be OBO! i dont do this for a living so ill try to be realistic on prices but we can always work something out!
Parts sold so far:
tail lights - SOLD - STOCK TAIL LIGHTS STILL AVAILABLE.
center arm rest - SOLD
steering wheel - SOLD
intercooler & alta boots- SOLD
black coolant tank - SOLD
clear metal tank - SOLD
Grill lights available with bracket? Any idea if they would work on an r56?
it’s a universal kit so I’m sure it would, I had it taped to the stock fog lights , if you want it separately you’ll need to get and run a switch. 150 shipped?
Would really like to keep the assembly together, if i get no bites on the headlights ill let you know!
I am in need of the driver side headlight and driver side blinker assembly and the little hood scoop insert, as well as the factory plastic intercooler air diverter . let me know how much, shipped to 75007
I honestly need the hood too but would assume the shipping would be horrible.
Since I haven't gotten a response from the OP, I will make a comment here. I purchased a part from this thread, was told it was from a certain parts house, only to find out that was not so. I expressed my disappointment in a PM to the OP, which in most forums would get one a response and some sort of resolution, but nothing from this owner. Not to mention the packaging of the part. Thanks a lot for the EBay part that you described as a forum supported brand. Lesson learned

BUMP- a lot of parts still available and all PMs replied.

I sent you a PM on 2-24-2020 explaining my disappointment of this part.
I dont mean to keep this alive, but you are correct, there was a misunderstanding on my part... based off the information you provided.
I'll take a quick crack at this... maybe the reason the car was running like crap is because the coolant reservoir you sold me wouldn't seal, hence it couldn't hold 7 psi at the cap, don't worry, I confirmed it... and it probably got hot, and might have caused other corresponding issues, as these engines start doing unintended things when they get hot. This would also confirm the reason that the whole thing was covered in coolant stains when I got it, you know, like it was blowing by the cap.
I am not in the practice of buying crap EBay parts just to try to be proactive about upgrading succeptible parts from the factory. I had to make some modifications to the cap to get it to hold 16-18 psi as it should, and still cant force myself to install this thing.
If I indeed wanted to buy an EBay part, I would've done so... not pay the same price for a used one.
