considering 328 purchase: compression?

Thanks but no. I would not have known them.

Enjoy the car.

 

turns out, it WAS the jack in the towel!

and the bag was elsewhere in the car...

 

I suspected it was but no telling how complete. Seems silly I know but the jack and tool kits have become quite valuable.

The early cars like yours have a rubber strap to hold that stuff in place in the trunk. Later cars have no strap and I suggest keeping it with the spare so they don't crash around and make dents in the fenders.

 

if you decide you want to sell the wheels and go OEM send me a PM - I would be interested

 

Out of curiosity, what is the visual tell regarding the suspected carpet kit (color, texture, etc)?

 

The dye used was terrible and they faded badly. That carpet was not faded at all.

 

Thanks — i had assumed the lighter color was the OEM color and aftermarket was off when looking at carpet samples, but It’s actually due to age/fading - So the newer kits on todays market are potentially a better solution than trying to seek a NOS kit for someone wanting to restore the interior to near new?

 

I don't think NOS is available and I know of no one who has ever used it.

 

Haven’t seriously looked yet for NOS, but saw parts numbers on Eurospares, which is often reflecting parts not available when you try to actually order.
