If you get a local wrapping firm to do it it will be cheap and you can reverse it as and when you like though
Re: bmw m52 engine conversion
Miles better without the tints.

Re: bmw m52 engine conversion
Loads of work to do tomoz on my car fit new struts fit the rpm top mounts and the rest of the polyurethane kit then hours of getting it all set up.The joys of owning an e21
Re: bmw m52 engine conversion
Take the rear arms off. Set the bushes on fire. Then hit with a hammer and chisel to pop em out. Then get some threaded bar and repair washers so you can pull the new poly bush through on the rear arms.
Once you done all the bushes.
Front
1 degree negative with 0 toe. 7 degrees negative caster.
Rear
1 degree negative toe
2 degrees negative camber.
Although you wont have much choice of you don't have the rear adjustable plates.
