Looks a lovely motor Joe.

Sad too see the touring go, as it looked a very clean car.
Personally don't like Tec1 kit's on 4 pot cars, but that's me.

Ollie, an E30's an E30! They look the same (if its a chromie...). Oh and by the looks of it he has the front valance and possibly the rear. No spoiler or skirts...
Then again, same goes for Tech 2's on baby mobiles

There is just something wrong about it imo. Trying too look like a 6 cylinder E30.
I would if I was in Joe's shoe's remove the Tec1 bit's.

And I wouldn't mind if they ended up in my new E30 srappage pile of hordings, but not everything goes as you want

thanks for the comments guys,
as for the front and rear valances they are both staying on, but over the next week the plan is to fit tech 1 skirts and a spoiler

Please don't ruin the side profile of that car by putting a spoiler on it. It looks great as it is. If you're really itching to spend money on it, change the engine to a six pot. Its a great little car you got there. If you ever want to sell. Do let me know, I'll rescue her from the spoiler.

P.s. Agree with ollie, it would look great without the out of sync bumpers, but that's just me. Still seems a clean motor

Nah. Its like the alpina valances. It just outweighs the rest of the car. All or nothing. Always.

Joe's bought here what has to be one of he most solid chrome cars out there. Barry "probed" every orifice (as he does

) and could find little or no rot at all. A seriously nice motor this.
But it needs an m20 conversion

Needs to be kept period so it looks all as it should bit a 2.5 in there would "maketh the motah!"

Dan are you only in it for what you can get out. It's not a club it's a lifestyle. No tech 1 kits here!
There is going to be a few issues raised at this meating tomorrow!
It's not just me in trouble tomorrow.
