Ken at Bellars very nicely got an option list from Jerry Clayton, very interesting to see what the car came out with. Still trying to figure out what some of the option codes are exactly but I was told the 215 option was fairly rare to find which is cool to know ^_^ I also assumed the model badges (318I) on the back were not there because the car had a different boot lid, either from a crash or other reason but it looks like the original owner asked for it to never be put on :huh:

Got plans for it? Looks good though.

It has already been lowered so that is taken car of ;)

I have added mudflaps since this photo too. I would like to get 15" BBS alloys but would settle for 14" because of the price. Modest tints would be nice, I am considering clear indicators and a chrome exhaust tip would be nice. Knowing my budget though it might be a while before any of that happens :rolleyes:

Nice car! Did those stripes come with the car?

Oh yea are you Aaron's brother by the way?

I don't believe they came with the car, the option list doesn't list them so I assume they didn't. In saying that I know they are an original BMW part and they have definately been on the car for a while (wear etc). They look nice though, I will be keeping them ^_^

Yea, do you work with him?

Looks nice and tidy.

Welcome to the painful and joyous world of E30 ownership.

Ha, no kidding! Right hand stick (windscreen wipers etc) stopped working yesterday and the drivers side window stopped a while ago so I have booked it in at Bellars to sort it out.

Mudflaps!

Many thanks to Huffer for them, they are great!

Still looking for the front mounting brackets if anyone has a pair would you be able to PM? Thanks.

New wheels, mudflaps (with all mounting brackets, they are not coming off again!), alarm system (Mongoose M60B) and chrome exhaust tip.

Opinions on an MTech1 spoiler on this?

Car has roof racks now... need to get some more recent pics.

MTech 1 spoiler looks mint if you have the front splitter to match, IMO.

Really dig tidy PFL white coupes. Keep up the good work

:P It had just driven up from Palmerston and hadn't had a clean in about a week.

They were sorted after the trip back down.
