PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE A KIT!!!

[dazleeds]

i'll get me coat

[CaesarBob]

God i'm good!

[320Touring]

I know you're all about looks dude, but i'd maybe concentrate on "trick" stuff this time-make it look normal, until you're right up close?

maybe make a tech2 spoiler on therear that acts like a porker one (raises up above say 45mph?

[Geeman]

Ben... I'll rent the BootyWagon off you for Valentines Day... not for my missus... it's to cruise around in and pick up a new missus!

[Geeman]

P.S. - No boot spoiler on this BootyWagon No. 3 - that's the law.

[paulj]

Ben

Have you seen the original version of TAXI (french)
Maybe you could do your cab like the 405 in that, looks bog standard then with the flick of a switch hydraulic jacks lift the car off the road and a full boddy kit starts to apear from under the car, its pretty cool but i dont know how you would do it

[bootyman]

Geeman you're more than welcome to rent the booty wagon for a couple of days dude. No spoiler this time i promise. Nice and smooth.

You lot make me laugh You should all become consultants for the James Bond movies with the whack ideas you come out with. Has any of you even considered the cost implications of your ideas

Maybe when i win the lottery hey. For now all i want is a nice clean smooth E30 cab to enjoy the summer in. Well look at making the kitchen spring out of the boot and wings and a propeler shooting out at the touch of a button later

[dazleeds]

i cant wait for you to win the lottery Ben

[paulj]

. Well look at making the kitchen spring out of the boot and wings and a propeler shooting out at the touch of a button later

Kitchen may be a bit difficult as drainage may be an issue also fat is a bastard to remove from leather

[320Touring]

paulj-its a 406 3.0v6 24v in taxi , and it kicks ass

bootyman-to be honest mate, if i was wanting a cab as a daily driver, i'd be avvoiding the expensive sh*t like the plague.

5k paintjobs and 2k kits are just gonna get beasted in carparks and on the open road.

[bootyman]

I know you cant D

Paul i'm sure something can be sorted out

Touring that's the precise reason why i'm doing this so the Rieger dont get battered. I'm haveing a standard flat colour. I just want the kit and interior and stuff to look good

[stevetigger]

Whatever you decide Ben, you MUST put that rear bumper off the blue car on

[320Touring]

well why not go with airbag suspension or hydraulics? a crabbing e30 cab would look amazing

[stoic]

MTech no contest

[Steviec]

Has to be the blue german kit for me. I might even be ordering the side skirts for mine.
Just bought some reiger gts skirts but I think I prefere the blue kit ones.

[maxfield]

I prefer blue kit it's different

[Steviec]

I think you should get this spoiler:

[Quaser]

How about a tech2 kit with an alpina front lower valance?

[dsio]

I think the blue kit has the potential to look extremely good at the front with a slight change. One of the most distinctive features of the E30 front end is the lip bumper that is on all the stock cars, the M-tech 1s and 2s, and M3s.

The lip overhangs the front spoiler slightly, and while on the M3 it kicks forward underneath to meet it, its still a sticking out lip that accents the headlights.

If I were doing one of those, the change I would make would be to cut the two bar shaped bits at the top (white arrows), where they join flush with the top of the bumper, and recess them an inch or two, following the line of the side of the bumper that vanishes (red arrow).

Then some custom lense driving lights inset in the smaller holes to the sides of the main hole.

Then to make it fit in with the E30 front end perfectly, you use black plastic bars, the same thickness, shape and size as the plastic bars in the E30 grill (horizontal ones) in the wide mouth part of the grill.

It would look new, fresh, but very E30 like.

At least thats how I would do it ;)

Come to think of it, I would do the E30 grill bars thing even without moving the two side things. It would tie it in to the grill without being too VW/Audi-ish, direct all attention to it, and look very E30ish.

[buster]

i like the blue one,looks smooth,smart and different.Doent look out of shape like some kits do.Love the rear bumper the way it goes under the exhaust.Never seen it before.

[nightfever]

I reckon use the back german bumper, find other side skirts, and modify the tech 2 front. The most labour intensive

Front bumper looks good but no indicators tho

[woodysjw]

Booty do u know how much and where i can find out about air bag suspension really would like that, as i love the look of it slamed but sometimes it is just to much with the crap roads round here,

Also Think u sould do as chu says a Moded Mtec2 kit so looks nice and smooth but still understated.

[sheldo]

OOOOH its so hard to choose...

deffinatley m-tech .... No wait other one ... Nope after careful thought the Mtech i just love that cab in the pic. Very easy on the eye

[bigun]

gotta br the tech 2 all day for me

[bigun]

I think you should get this spoiler:

dear oh dear

[iil325i]

go m-tec 2 mate all the way, looks sssssoooooo much better.

[curly]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! M-tec 2 for sure. That's so wrong and I consider myself open minded!

[Gouki]

Ben thanx for the link. All this talk of M-tech and that german making you torn between the 2, I show you a bit of E30 inspiration as some people are liking the rear bumper and diff skirts and not many liking the front bumper maybe this might give you an idea, car has no rear spoiler, if you get the german rear on this baby probably pull it off.







And Ben after much thinking and your advice and stuff, I've gone with that bumper thats on this black cab, just bought it on ebay waiting for it to come now!

[chu346]

Gouki get some filler in those spot light holes and it'll look good!

[beemertom]

why go 4 a kit standard bumpers is lip spoiler,fat rims and healthy drop looks the muts nuts without blowin ur balls on kits and paintin

[JAMZ]

Like you say Ben, Youve got yer pimped ride m8, this is yer pratical route is it not?... your off again on a mission! lol

Get the M-tech kit,slammed with some nice phat rims... pratical and alot cheaper

[Gouki]

Gouki get some filler in those spot light holes and it'll look good!

Good suggestion mate! Because I dont think they come with spot lights anyway!

[bootyman]

Nice one Gouki. I would fill in them holes as well. I love that front bumper. That along with the german rear bumber and maybe a Tech 2 sikrt might just work. Some fantastic suggestions, but i had a long, long think about this last night and i'm going for the German, No, no the Tech2, no the German. Love the Tech 2, but way too common even though they are fantastick looking. I'm going to get the Tech 2 kit on the car sprayed as well and just leave it in the garage. Maybe one day i'll swap them around and have a different looking car

I've seen some interesting threads on this forum, but this has to rank amongst one of the best in my openion for entertainment. I've never been so undecided in my life and just nice to see how other's think

[Gouki]

I had a feeling you'd go for that German one!
