Yes wheels tell a story of alterations! I have G413BTW. Mine came from Bates of Maldon , Essex. Not sure of the colour is original. Looking at the bottom of the driver door looks a bit ropy , possible rust and bottom of the wing too? Chips on the painted metal bumpers show white underneath! Inside looks good. M Tech II wheel and OBD.

You really need to get it checked first. Maybe a zones closer could check it?

What's going on with the touring?

Yea im just going to pay to get the tourer back on the road, then just let the insurance sort it out in due course. They are ripping the ass out of it. Going to see if i can get parts at the weekend from a place i spoke to out near ashford. Fingers crossed.

This e30 doesn't look that bad mate, just needs standard BBS 15inch alloys with caps, full machine polish to bring the colour back etc, you know what I mean :wink:
