E34: Windscreen replacement

windscreen3

Back from the painted wide grille mod and bumper repair and paint touch ups, the car was sent to have its long-overdue windscreen replaced. If you drive an old car with an old windscreen, you’d know how pathetic pitted, scratched up, dirty old windscreens can be. I always had the urge to replace but there were always another priority. Now that i’ve fulfilledĀ  most of the checklist, it’s time.

The windscreen replacement was pretty affordable. I opted for Malaysian made OEM glass and everything including labour came up to RM550. This is also because i chose not to replace the rubber mouldings which costs about a grand to replace.

  1. wow, that’s very cheap for windscreen replacement. at my place that’s only to pay labour cost. not for the windscreen.
    but look’s like the V12 is very clean now, glossy paint and new windscreen.
    nice job !

  2. hi sugi, yeah, too bad you cant bring your car over here to go on a parts shopping.

    yup loving it clean now :)

  3. yup, Tom, wish can bring my car there to do parts shopping that would be very fun.
    so with new windscreen, E34 540i foot, then it should be complete ? or still want to change to manual trainy ?

  4. sugi: maybe you can spend a week here or something looking and collecting parts which you can then send home in a container. along with your friends’ parts.

    manual transmission is a must :) just don’t know how long more to wait

    bohtak: next we can come out to shoot the humble 5 with the AMG batmobile :)

  5. hmm, nice idea , Tom, will do that after finding the right link for someone can handle the shipping including taxes etc.
    Hope can see the V12 again at my next visit to KL next week .
