made some changes over the last year..

everything is as you could have had it back in 1984

still on the list:
welding left rear arch, spraying both sides, mounting rear and side skirts
DTM wiper, lowering 20/20

ideas are welcome! must be in the 80ies spirit though!

I like it, apart from the god awful zender lights! they're the wrong side of retro, the rest is pretty cool! Needs lowering a bit

OMG that looks horrendous, dont look like there is much E30 left, just after market tat, although i have to admit for some strange reason i rather like that thing over the rear window, its so so wrong but for some odd reason it works

You need one of those 80's in car phones.

I actually kind of like that. Reminds me of how I would have drawn a rally car as a child. It's a lot more tasteful than many of the tech 2 abominations that are posted.

I vote go "Mad Max" and paint it matt/satin black! You guys had Dulux back in '84, right? :P
Love the rear windscreen louvres, but really dislike the zender lights! Needs a hefty drop too!

I quite like it :D

needs headlamp louvres to complete the look.

auotplas or Zender rear louvre dude ??

almost a shame she's a non sunroof, could have had the wind deflector there too.

Marmite again, but soo retro it works as has been said.

Looked lovely before you put all that tat on it.

Sorry but, the headlight's, kidney grille, front spoiler, wing strips, wheels, gille badge, rear lights, rear spoiler, license plate blank, window leuvers etc... etc... are just :puke:

I do like the look of the front seats though.
