I think I've decided on a pair of clear (but smoked) front indicators, what dya think for mine?

How deep/bad are the scratches?

Deffo, Im going to get a set of the smoked myself, I think the set now are too bright.

too deep to cut / compound out, too shallow to have gone to primer.

Eugh what a pain, how did u get them? Does your pain colour have a clear coat?

They were on when I got it, the whole car is 99% perfect, so just a few light scratches and chips mainly on the bonnet and boot. It's metallic, so will have a clear coat. Been using Meguiar's ultimate compound which is top coat friendly

For stone chips and scratched i used this guide Hope it helps! not that hard to do i got various compounds (polishing,rubbing,super fine) and a tiny brush,car had done alot of motorway miles :'(

As for the indicators....I'd go for the projector "look" ones,they look sick in my opinion better than smoked :biggrin:
something like this

I actually used to have a set like that, once I started getting water leaking into water of them I just went with the stock style smoked corners and I think they look much better, just my opinion :)

Had loads of Bmw in the past and must say the little 318ti is a great car.
Just needs more power, maybe a turbo will do the job somewhere down the line,:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Customary piccys.
Hope you like the car.

Hi all! Just bought a 318ti am in york uk, desperately need a owners manual as never owned a BMW before!. Also is out classed as a E36 or E46? Thanks in adv

Hello Swifty07

What age of compact ?

If it looks like ones above its a E36 but the E36 is really a E30/E36 mix

Triangle light on rear and 2000 + good chance its a e46 ;)

Plenty of .pdf manuals on ebay

This is a e46
