I wana see those e30s that are a little different from the rest :D . I know e30s look the business with no mods at all but i wana see those who tried to stick out rather then blend in.. whether its a win win or a epic fail

im talking wheels that not many people have got, custom interior and exterior mods,rare colours or crazy paintjobs, lowrider or 4x4 suspension set ups.....

My mate recently left his welder at my house, so i decided it was about time i taught myself to weld. My exhaust was a pattern part and rattled around. Wanted something that would drown out the sound of my tappets, so picked up a full standard exhaust and cut off some exhaust brackets from some random cars at the breakers. Unbolted the rear half of my exhaust and got out the power tools and made up my own.

Image

Its definitely nothing special, the welds look awful its and not to many peoples tastes but despite this, it doesnt blow, sounds nice but isnt too loud, fits a lot better and doesnt rattle... and it cost me £5 & I did it myself :D

I have Champion rather than Bosch wiper blades but I'm thinking of changing back.

Way too extreme for me really.

red led cabin illumination, led's set into the check control molding thing, just bright enough to light up the centre console etc & buried so there's no glare when driving.

Wired to a low profile toggle switch mounted in a modified blank on the HVAC, proper job.

Nope ... just standard. The leather round the gearstick and handbrake are a perfect match ... they just look a bit brighter in the picture for some reason.
