Tilbo 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2014 Hi all. I'm Adam, born in the UK, now living in Auckland. I'm new to BMWs. My first car, actually a van, was a '90 Mitsi L300, after that came a '97 VW Golf GTI.It is a NZ New '94 318i Manual Sedan in Morea Green, in poverty spec as it has almost no options, which I actually dig about this car! Full Service History from Jerry Clayton's right up till my friend bought it. The colour is fantastic and you don't see many others wearing this paint. I'm pleased to say it is relatively tidy and hasn't travelled my kms (108,000). It was lowered by the previous owner on Dobi springs and the headlights were tinted yellow, I have since added AZEV Type A's and roof racks. I have also replaced the sagging headlining.Here is a photo from when I first bought it:And this is how it looks now:She goes alright despite being only a 1800cc, I expected worse speed-wise to be honest being quite a big car. It is very economical though, sips the gas.I plan to sort out the sagging door cards, replace the shot factory speakers and a suspension overhaul is on the cards. I might change the wheels too. No doubt I will be on here a lot seeking help, advice and ideas (both good and bad).Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've thought about colour-matching the front and rear bumpers. Not the complete bumper but leave the top+bottom grey. I believe that was a factory option as I see plenty around like that. The film over the headlights made it through a wof, but I might take it off and tint the full beam lens instead.
