drewbags 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Hey Guys, if you've been lurking around Bimmersport lately I've recently come back into the scene and have purchased myself a 1988 FL E30 320i Coupe. Couldnt really turn down the deal to be the 2nd owner in NZ and having the previous owner own it from basically brand new, even though she's auto, things can and will be changed! Here's a quick couple pictures of her when i picked it up! And just a couple of mandatory modifications, to make it feel more like my own car: Red Tail-Lights and the ever famous compulsary Bimmersport sticker Thanks for having a quick look, hope to update this regularly, so check back for updates! Cheers, Drew Edited April 26, 2012 by drewbags Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drewbags 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 Hey Guys, another update nothing big but hey! Cleaned the car today and decided i would be creative and try to custom build my own automatic gear lever so here she is: nothing fancy, looks cool and goes with my underlying theme 'Country Club Stance' I'll leave you to your imaginations on how its going to look! Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drewbags 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 Hey guys, another quick update! sorry about the picture heavy thread I just hate going onto a thread like this on any forum and there being next to no pictures!! also doing it for a personal record of my car and its progress! Just did a touch up job today, factory black plastic wing mirrors were really faded so gave them a light sand then a coat of primer, another quick light sand and then the final coat of primer managed to persuade Dad to let me spray in the garage next up came the 2 coats of matte black to keep the factory look Rather pleased with the final result! and a sneaky picture of the beast chucked in too Cheers, Drew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg111 13 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 This thread is all about photos. My personal preference would have been white mirrors, factory or not. P.S You need some rims, black steels look rude! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, agree. Also, FYI three screws & a two minute job to remove the mirrors. Quicker than the time to mask Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drewbags 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 needs more golf trundler on the roof and tartan seats thats the plan! This thread is all about photos. My personal preference would have been white mirrors, factory or not. P.S You need some rims, black steels look rude! the plan is to eventually do the white mirrors, but just tidying her up before proper modification starts! and yes the steels are rude but just waiting for some funds and the right wheels to come along! Yup, agree. Also, FYI three screws & a two minute job to remove the mirrors. Quicker than the time to mask thats annoying haha to be honest didnt really look to hard just got stuck into the masking straight away but thanks for the tips!
