It's a photo editing package that you install on your PC...

OK this looks really dodgy because of the rough/ amateur paint effort on my behalf, but I think E30 smoothed out with no side strips or bumpers! dropped as low as possible on some nice deep dish minilites could work, just don't know if I would be brave enough to spend my hard earned proving a point!

don't know if this link or photo will work either....

Mikey - that's totally the look I was going for, now get rid of the chrome, side rubbing strips and bumpers and I reckon it would be a retro flyer, albeit a low flyer!

Those dont belong.
Cant see those on a e21 either.
Would like prime on an '02.

I can just picture this with a Confederates flag painted on the roof and 01 on the doors.

Not loving the Minilites idea i'm afraid.

no need to be a sheep..

The Minilights/minilight style rock, look different but cool on the e30 imo

Do IT!!!

will look phat slammed, esp if you go for 9's

Jon, if you read this, PLEASE don't do it to my poor ol' car!

Tue May 17, 2005 7:04 pm

Jhonno, I think it can work too, it was just a daft thought I had after looking at a 2002 with them on (cover page of Retro Cars a couple of months back)

I think the car would have to lose the bumpers and and side strips etc so the bodywork is totally clean and smoothed, plus no chrome around the windows, absolutely slammed - call it E30retrotracklook ??

By the way, is the car in your sig a 320is?

Tue May 17, 2005 7:19 pm

na - its a US 325is

i'll get a pic of mine in there when its up to scratch

I like the look of the minilites but only on the not so low photo.....I quite like the idea of having ronal turbos on a low chrome bumper e30...THink thatd look quite good.

now those ones i think wud look good.

spokes come to edge of rim, so they look big.
nice design (always loved minilites)

i reckon theyd look good on an e30
