Cheers guys for all the nice comments, I am more than happy with the result. Can safely say there is no E30 like it on this earth now

Just spent the last 4 hours doing this. Won't say too much because I am busy getting drunk for a 21st. Big thanks to Mark247 for his supply + help with installing the side pinstripes. And cheers Total BMW magazine for the sweet photos for me to copy the front design. Fiddly as job, took me a while to get angles right, not perfect but it isn't a show car, and have plenty left over if I need to redo any. Will be interested to see how edges hold up when washing etc. I coated them with superglue at the ends then coated them with anti corrosion protective spray wax. I will let the average, bad light, rushed pics do the talking, I am more than happy for $60, 4 hours and no beers required after all Cheers, Nath

Sorry Oli but this is the dumbest post ever. +1 on deficit

Acetone

Brand new white M3 wailing down Featherston St

^ @ Braeden Yeah I think I will just do that, might get a carry case too to make it easier. I don't need to transfer it too often, just when I want to ride Taupo etc. Lol at Simon

Cheers guys. I guess nobody has any they want to get rid of...

Does anyone know if there are racks out there for an E30 that are able to bolt a road bike to? I have had to make some tough decisions of late regarding my running future so I am looking to use my road bike more, so are there roof racks available to suit, or are there generic kits available to fit on to? And I only have the trusty E30 to use. The other option is I just put a tow bar back on the car but would like the cleaner look of having my bike on the roof. Any help is appreciated. Cheers, Nathan

he forgot to do the otherside of the car

I would have more fun putting pins in my eyes than driving around with those attached.

M12, motor based on the M10

^ Sweet thanks Shelley. Managed to get some double pinstripe tape for the sides, and single pinstripe to replicate the front style.

I will be coming regardless, if the car gets a WOF Fri I will be there in the car, otherwise I will hitch a ride.

Yeap I thought that would be the case. What can I use to prep the surface before I stick the stripes on?

^ Should make use of those M52 parts I have under my house instead

Looks like I have opened a can of worms. Just really wanted some DTM mirrors but will save that for the real M3 haha. The price to get them here is a lot more than I have in my account.

Lets say that post was because my gf wants to add her 'personal touch' to the car If I did buy some others they would be colorcoded Cheers dude

There are also these ones, but I think they are a bit curvy for the boxiness of the Alpina kit. http://cgi.ebay.com/M3-WING-DOOR-MIRRORS-B...b#ht_1382wt_911

^ Haha cheers man, Lol @ anglepina. Payday tomorrow, present for getting the bucket of bolts done potentially: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DTM-CUP-STY...s#ht_2008wt_864 Yes, no maybe? In fluro pink/purple...thoughts?

Top work Lucan, car is looking tits as always. Pic 8 is calendar worthy.

^ Cheers man, WOF this Friday, then I will put some decent pics up after a decent cut and polish. Dedication, more like perfectionist

^ Haha thanks Shelley, don't have much to lose. Maybe I should try finding something slightly fatter, thanks for the tips though. How hard can it be?

^ Yeah exactly. It is about $10 for a 10m roll of 6mm tape so not a lot at all. Yeah I PM'd Shelley a while ago, and she said she could replicate some from a picture for about $350. The fact of the matter is I have done 95% of the work on this thing myself so why not give it ago myself, for a small fraction of the price. The car needs respraying eventually anyway so it would be best to do it 'properly' if I wanted eventually after that. End of the day its a track(ish) car in a tidy(ish) shell, not a show car

This: + This: Finally given into pressure from several people (including myself) and going to make my own homemade stripes. I will do the exact front bumper design in the picture below, mainly because I already have the same colored car and the gold Alpina writing. The sides are however looking far to intricate to get right, so I will probably just do a single or double pinstripe gold line, but will give it a go once I get the kit. Here are some pics of what I have to work with: (the car is terribly dirty) Thoughts are appreciated, I will document the process. Cheers, Nathan
