Hi, I'm soon to buy an e30 and I've already started getting some parts. But I was wondering how to make it similar to this car in the link? So if anyone could help me identify some parts that would be great!
Mainly the Wheels but also,
Front bumper/ kit?
decal on the side?
Thanks!!

The front valance is BBS (good luck finding one of them!) and the wheels look to be bottle top but not the standard 14" E30 type. Maybe filled and drilled E36 wheels?

Also, what size wheels do they look like?

There were 16"/17" 'split rims' being made from the 14" bottletop centres I think. That's what they look like as they don't look like they've been re-drilled.

BBS kit was only made for pre face lift cars I think? The wheels are standard bottle tops cut up and made into a split rim. This is becoming quite popular and have seen it done with 15" hartge wheels aswell.
