Fitted a German flag badge today! Went for the Gold instead of the usual Yellow. Opinions welcome http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6247/50620045ym3.jpg

Yes they are heavy,certainly compared to BBS etc! 16`s are definately the best compromise in my opinion though. I was running 16" Hartges for about 2 years on 3 different E30`s,excellent ride on each one!

Thanks for the compliment mate,glad you like it! As said,the wheels are so called replicas which to be honest,when viewed next to a genuine Alpina wheel they are totally different. This particular make in the UK is not actually rated that highly,BK wheels model 171. Apparently not very strong,have been known to crack/buckle under not so extreme pressure. Also many say that the ride of an E30 is compromised when running on 17`s although i dont actually think its too bad. Steering wheel isnt E36,they just wont fit an E30 steering shaft. It is a Blackline and made by Nardi. Always seem to be a few on www.Ebay.de although i dont know how you would get around postage to you?

Well worth the effort needed to smoke the lights,looks good on most colour E30`s! Just take your time though when removing the lenses,have patience and they will come off intact,rush it and youll regret it.

Thanks for the comments guys,sort of makes it all worthwhile Heres another pic of the interior,forgot to add it before __________________

well i have read that some guys have used heat resistant paint but i never did. I just used Satin Black rattle can paint and have had no problem so far after 6 months! Give it a go,looks ace on any BMW!

Popular mod here in the UK! Heatgun to carefully take the lenses off,bit tediuos but worth the effort. The out headlights are easy,just pull out the chrome look part and spray Black,re bond the lense back on and done. The inner(main beam) lights require a cross making up from 2 seperate pieces,then painted Black and bonded into place,bond the lense back on giving the illusion they are Black! Hope this helps!

Yes it did but has since been removed. Managed to source an Mtec1 rear skirt to go with the rest of the kit!

Thanks mate,glad you like it!
