im a little bored of the m tech look and the 17" wheels,

if i could have my own way i would have 16" pinas or maybe nice 15" bbs, standard is, with tech one spoiler, lowered a touch.. very hard to imagine though

cue Magpie!

white iS, 16" Alpina reps, body-colour tech1 boot spoiler, lowered slightly (iirc), eyebrows..oh sorry, scrub that last comment!

still out celebrating?

well at least they have something to celebrate.. any excuse

Not all came with the Is lip

Were they not an option then?

yes,on an se.

i've got some that i'll be fitting soon.

I think all 318is came with the deep lip. Many have been lost, broken or stolen. I have a couple of magazine articles from 1990ish which seem to imply they were standard is fitment. Not confirmed though, and I guess you could always have ordered your brand new one with a normal black splitter if you preferred it.

SE side skirts could easily have been fitted as a factory option if you wanted them enough, I'm sure. I remember a 9 year old is I nearly bought back in 2000 that I'm pretty sure had them from new.

Anyone got any conclusive info?

Standard except for Tech 1 rear spoiler and smoked indicators

Mine in standard guise apart from tech 2 rear spoiler

Heres a pic of mine when i got it.



Few more

i like the tech one spoilers, with the standard look
