martyyn 2 Report post Posted January 1, 2007 (edited) Im not a huge fan of the wheels but the rest of it cannot be faulted....well done. Have you also thought about removing some of the stickers you have on the windscreen ? Ive always preferred to have as few stickers as possible on the car and even rang up beaurepairs to complain when they put THREE stickers on my 7 after it went in for a check.

Grant 4 Report post Posted January 3, 2007 That is one really good looking car. It is great to see some really nice E30's here now. The trend seems to have changed from simply lowering as much as possible onto chrome wheels, to a much better thought out and (in my opinion) better looking E30's. Well done.
