Modify car will NOT increase the value of the car... you will 99% of the time spend more money then you could hope to get back on the car...

What do you want to do the the car?

i think it will look good... depending on which clear lights you get, there are some really tacky ones out there...

but ya you will not get any money back on the car... don't think i've spent 5grand on mods the car is now worth 3 or 4 grand more...

What everyone else said dude... modified cars never get their value back- by the time you factor in buying the car, the parts and labour (plus HP interest if it's in finance) the resale won't recoup your costs.

And then the quality of the mods- parts and installation- must be kosher, otherwise the owner's wasted their money. There are also the buyer's tastes to consider, as once it's modified, it limits to market to a very select few, most of which don't have the cash to pay you, and worse still, will probably try to put trades (Hondas!) plus cash your way.

If you are planning on selling it, get it on the road, driveable, and then sell it; keep the mod money for your next car. Oh, and sell the chromes- they divide buyers REAL quick! lol

That poor e30 doesn't deserve it. Don't doooo it!

I'm gonna go have a cry now.

edit. I do have respect for other peoples cars and their choice of what to do to them.

But. This has just gone too far. Painting your car that colour is like hurling a mouthful of abuse at your grandmother.

About this much ->||<- better than the chromes.

It's your car mate, do what you like. Don't be afraid to be different. but the truth of the matter is, that a mint manual e30 320i is only worth a few grand, so anything else is likely to only be worth a couple of thousand. Unless its something special, like a race car.

Slammed on something 16x9+ or 17x9+ would be the best investment you could make tbh.

Find a matching fabric from a non worn back seat at a wrecker, strip it and have the ripped patches recovered with the matching fabric..well that’s what I did.
