E30 Zone

Hi all, changed over to Jimmy Hill which I bought off fleabay for too much money but it was the right colour, any way here are some before after and comparison pics, any thoughts on which looks best

Nice car its down to personal taste I guess they both look good to me! That doesnt really help much!

Jimmy hill all day long.

I much prefer the Jimmy Hill, makes it look sportier.

To be honest, before when mine had the SE front lip, it used to look like a space ship with too much clutter.. much prefer the simplistic look of an E30 minus unnecessary body work. As previously said, all down to personal preference

I'm not a fan. I bought one for my convertible and it was just too much. So I sold it on.


JH's works better on a saloon IMO. On a convertible, I prefer the original flat valance look. But each to their own.

Thanks a lot lads two for, two against and some personal tastes

I definitely don't want a modified look but the fact that's it's body colour really appeals but without skirts or a different rear valance worried it might look nose heavy, mine does have the rear spoiler though

I must admit I was picturing it on a touring.

Prefer the original on a chromie. Think it detracts and looks non-standard.
I'm not a purist as mine has quite a few mods...just my opinion.

Nice car by the way.

Looking at the pics, and with the absence of any other bits of body kit, I'd keep the original.

I think the JH would look much better with side pods etc.
