Had thought the exact same thing. Only thing that puts me off is the rear spoiler is rubberised foam so painting tha could lead to cracking. Brittle paint with flexible material underneath...

yea defintely going to colour match them, trying to decide weither I match the whole bumper or leave or leave the plastic edge stip black

Thanks man, Have already gone to king lows in the rear, trying to leave a bit of road clearance for the moment as i have speed bump galoure at uni and a bitch of a drive way entrance. Have the new badges on the way, going to save them untill ive done the re-spray at easter. have the paint already just waitning for the time off to do it

Rubber coated and fitted the rear spoiler this afternoon, finishes the back off nicely.

Planned on just painting the rear spoiler but got carried away and now holes drilled and all fitted

Had the new tyres fitted this morning, suit the car much better now

I was actually going to buy dtm sugoi's but these became available for the same price so they seemed a far better match. Considered importing 16's but these were already in nz

yea they're replicas, didn't have the budget for originals. Not a bad rep though I don't think..

thanks man, took a bit of hunting around and waiting to get them but was definitely worth it.

Yea 15x8 all round. i bought them off a guy who imported them for a civic of all things (hence 45 profiles) but blew it up before they arrived so i bought them off him as a wheels and tyres package brand new. just need a 55 profile which will hopefully get put on tomorrow morning to finish them off Nice look cabriolet!!

Here she is sitting on the new wheels, getting a 55 profile tyre fitted tomorrow which should fill the arches a bit more. I wish, sadly only a M20B20 though.

New wheels on today, just need a higher profile tyre and I'll be sorted Will post pictures tonight

Hi mate, what condition are the seats in and how much you looking for? Cheers

I think ill try stick with the factory mounts, certainly sounds like a lot less of a fuss and the sedan rear seat looks just as good

Ahh thanks for the warning

These ones look pretty tidy http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=692585947

They would actually, get the tear in the drivers seat patched properly and they'd be perfect

Well that solves it then, thanks man e36 seats it is

Awesome build man, going to be one hell of a weapon when its complete!

Thanks man, have thought about doing exactly but I'm not sure what I'd do with the back seat.

Hi all, I bought this car just before Christmas last year as a project to restore/do up. I have given it a bit of a tickle up inside, dyed the carpets black to get rid of the dirty cream colour, replaced the door cards with dark blue ones and threw on a set of seat covers just to clean it up a bit inside. It had king super low springs in the back and dobi sports in the front so it didn't sit very flat, so have replaced the super lows with standard lows to even her out. I got rid of the standard pipe, then made a 2" twin pipe straight through with coby mufflers, sounds beautiful but doesn't deafen you Most recently I bought a second motor and did a full rebuild from the ground up on it and have just finished the swap plus a new clutch and a tidy up in the engine bay. Runs lovely, nice and tight and pulls like a train (instead of smoking like one like the old engine) Next up is the body, couple of small pieces of rust on the rear valance to fix up and try get hold of a lower lip for the front valance, have bought the paint to respray the whole car in the original colour with a metal fleck. would also like to get either a set of bbs basket weaves or a dished DTM style wheel to pump out the stance a little. thanks for reading my thread and ill keep adding pics and updates as I go First day Original interior Rebuilt block Rebuilt head Completed rebuild Finished engine swap Stainless exhaust Touched up Interior, still hoping to get hold of a set of leathers for it but they seem to be tricky to get hold of. Eye Lids .

Finally got to fit mine yesterday after finishing the engine swap.. I think they look great. cheers Jordan! Here's a pic of the refurbed engine bay too

hi mate, any pictures? cheers neil
