Awesome................ :wub:

I think 'MY E30' from memory, is the rego of a white one on trade me at the mo............

Could have been on my old white E30 on trademe but that was last on trademe a year or so ago, unless someone's been using my pictures of it. I originally owned it, then sold it to Blair, then bought it back a year and a half or two years ago and still have it.

Car's looking nice Blair!

Its Frasers car also from New Plymouth and a member on here (_fhe30), i sold my old black rims to him and then he got the plate [ MY E3O ] (with an O not a zero) for his car, so a few people get confused with the similar looks.

But alas now Blair, it's sold and gone to Auckland so you're back to being the only one in NP with a white one. I've kept the plate though.

So after owning my car for 9 months now its time for an update!

When i first got it i just drove it and enjoyed it alot,

Then the opportunity came up to buy a manual pre facelift 323i coupe in a very sad state that Luke (Boost Junky) sourced,

i jumped at the opportunity as this would kick start the manual conversion stage

so after about 3 weeks and hours of work we had completed the manual conversion,

before the manual conversion i started looking around for some nice rims and found a few sets i liked on Trade Me so after a long time of decision making i purchased the 17x7.5 Wolf rims, but i still needed something more to make the car "mine" so i purchased an mtech2 fibreglass kit off www.tyremate.co.nz and sent my car off to Matt who i contacted through Travis (naughty bmw) here in New Plymouth.

It wasn't looking good, the kit needed ALOT of work to even get it fitting on the car (even though it was brand new) so some HUGE hours went into this, while this was happening i got rubber on the rims and purchased a set of 60mm Jamex springs.

Then after getting my car back just over a week ago the new springs went in along with the new rims and the German plate i purchased in the recent groupbuy!

A big thanks must go to Luke for the many hours he spent helping me and also to Matt for the work on the kit

If anyone ever needs fibreglass work or painting done in the Taranaki area i would highly recommend Matt (ROGUE DESIGN)

Heres the finished product

ENJOY
