martyyn 2 Report post Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Ive had it a couple of days now and since its been a cracking day in Wellington it was a chance to get the interior cleaned out. Owner with dogs who vomit down the sides of seats shouldnt be allowed to live Anyway the interior is still in pieces so I took the chance to stick the Alpina rear spoiler on....so what do people think ? Standard spoiler... Or Alpina spoiler. I think it really needs to be painted as well to have a proper idea of it and the corner nut is broken so I had to hold it down for the photo. Someone feel free to PS it silver.... It looks a lot better in person and I think it will look better once painted. Its a lot chunkier than the standard item, but I find the standard one a little 'weak' if you know what I mean. I love the tech1 spoiler though, so perhaps I should just look for one of those. Still looking for an 'is' front if anyone knows of one.....Or even an Alpina front Edited July 19, 2009 by Penry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drifty325i 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2009 Whoa the Alpina spoiler is quite large!! I like it though. Paint and an is lip will make it look more even front to rear. Nice one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cale 36 Report post Posted July 19, 2009 But then it just wouldn't be an e30 iS, they look so purty as a totally standard car. Then again, the Alpina might look better painted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Some proper photos now to start this thread off. Spent the whole of last weekend with the interior out cleaning the carpets of all sorts of 'stuff' some of which Id never seen before. Shampoo'd the seats, got all the dog hair out of the rear shelf and headliner, cleaned the dash, centre console etc and fixed a few little things thanks to Ians magic garage of BMW bits and pieces. The exterior still needs a clean and the engine bay is filthy with sand covering everything. But so far Ive only had the TM photos, so hopefully these will show it a little better. I still cant believe how good it is to drive and I still cant believe how little I paid for it Tech1 rear wing is on the way (Im not convinced by the Alpina one), Im trying to find a spare 14' cap and an 'is' lip. I was thinking of what else I could do but in the end it only needs a couple of things to be back to standard so thats what Im going to do.

deane30 30 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 I love e30 318iS'sss Is that in Karori? I reckon you should keep in standard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 Northland. I reckon I can get away with a tech1 rear wing, because it has a tech1 steering wheel and gear knob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 34 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Houndstooth sport seats.... ...bastard! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 ^^Not houndstooth... tartan This = houndstooth: Still... they are great seats. Good job on cleaning the interior, I've had to clean an interior covered in dog hair and dog spit before, took forever and the smell never did come out properly.

martyyn 2 Report post Posted July 28, 2009 Beauty, thanks Brent. Ive just picked one up for a tenner off ebay, but I could have these as spares they are like rocking horse poo at the moment. Sorry Bravo, not houndstooth, but Mark has already put you right Mark, get the turtlewax Oxy shampoo (called something like that) brilliant stuff for getting all sorts of stains out and the car smells nice again.

Jeddy 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2009 I just went and had a look at mine as i have 2 sets of caps and found out they're different. One set screw into the face and the other are attached with a single screw. What sort do you require? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted July 28, 2009 I have Boris yes, but the cost just wouldnt be worth it. Plus I think it would be worth much more simply left alone. Ill put a tech1 rear wing on and find an 'is' front lip and leave it as that I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beemwr 42 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 "Forgive him Father for the sin(s) of bastardising what will become one of BMW's land-mark cars in the immediate future." Yeah, Martyn I will get you that list of mechanical tweaks, far better spending your hard earned money on them "for you to know and others to find out."
