Love the wheels, and I must say, this is the first car where I think the yellow headlights actually suit it. It must be the paint colour, it just works, normally they look crap.

I was thinking the same thing about the lights. Nice looking E30. I do like a well done facelift euro. They look

Have the arches been rolled and how do you get the yellow headlight look?! V. Nice!

Looks to me like they have been flared, you can tint your current lights, there is a company in the 'Group Buy' section that sells yellow tint

Thats damn tasty. Can't help thinking the green one in the last pic looks better/has better stance though.
Loving the yellow headlights though
Gert - front arches have, rears don't look particularly done. Spray them with clear yellow paint

Eerm, Sprayings not too good an idea - more likely to ruin things! Film option sounds good. Cheers.

There was a red E21 at the Pistonheads meet that had yellow headlights.
Wonder how the illumination compares to the regular items.
