Hey everybody! I'm Doctor Nick... Err that's a lie. But Hi!

Hey up, I've been browsing for a few days (linked here by Eko) and I posted and thought - ooh, I haven't said hi - how rude.
So "Hi!"
I recently bought a 325i from a friend's dad as I desperately needed a car and it just turned out to be a 325i E30... I had no idea they had such a following ; but then after a few days driving I realise why.
So... I spent last week spending £1k on Ebay out of a rather hefty pay-cheque (8 weeks worth of timesheets = 8 weeks worth of expenses and overtime in 1 lump!) and hve bought the following :
-Grooved discs all round (£200)
-Lowering springs (-40) which I think are the wrong type for the 325i - they're by Jamex and came off a 318 - which after a Google I think the 318 Jamex springs are different for the 325/323 and the 316/318 etc of that year - oh well!
-Alpina blue check seats (Will post pics - they look lush)
-Performance Chip
-K&N 57i (doesn't add much noise, more of an increased howl when belting it - very subtle but definitely noticable - highly recommended) gotta think cold air feed pipe from behind grille and home-made heat shield now methinx
-MTech2 steering wheel (Loads of people on here seem to have MTech1 steering wheels, have I made a booboo here?) Oh this is from Eko and I haven't paid him yet :p So not technically bought yet but will sort this week :p
-Have some gash looking 225tyred alloys to go on (when Mike Stokes in Poole sort me some spigot rings) which I'll put on for grip - then think about upgradin - I like the old skool look of these : http://www.rennsport.co.uk/scripts/prod ... roduct=517 Schmidt TH Line - but dunno about funds for a while... Drool though
WISH I had the money for the custom manifold on the Zone Shop as the graph from the dyno is mental! - Next year maybe
Erm basically - Chuck some ideas at me - I'll try and get some pics of the car, its light blue - and I've not seen anyone with one yet - are they rare? It needs a kit, but I want to keep all the mods in keeping with "Old Skool" as (and I don;t want to offend those who've added modern styling to their car ; whatever floats your boat ; thats the beauty of modding i.m.o - everyone likes different styles) I don't like newer looking mods on an old car.
All agreed tho - "bottletops" have to go?
Basically PM me or post with things I should do - could do - comments on what I've bought and let me know if you're in the South (Central, Dorset type area) it'd be cool to hear from ya :p
<< I love that little pic. Random insertion.
One for luck.

) so spending has stopped now. Promise. 
Had never seen one before, strange how I was looking at pics of it online last night (to work out which colour was Macau was) and then I see one in the flesh. Very sexy.

wake up at the back!
