Restoration: e34 M5 (metallic dolphin)

Ok, found a set of headlights in Cape Town, small stone marks, but they will be able to be polished out.

Anybody have a recommendation on the polishing of glass, and these are Hella headlights?

With some light on the cluster, it's looking good.





Front seat is in, working 100%

They want U$399 per year to allow 3rd party display access for your photos. Like that will happen......
