E30 325i Rag-Top 2958 Report post Posted November 4, 2012 Love those big slide back Webasto sun-roofs (rooves?) had a few cars with those in them over the years, as demonstrated in the second picture they are great for getting passengers, and even rear passengers to stand up through!!

hotwire 352 Report post Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Looking great My opinion, for what it's worth - looks better with the OEM alloys. I reacon they suit the E12/21 cars style best. Edit: Slightly lowered of course Edited November 5, 2012 by hotwire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
