After having nearly completed my E30 project i have decided to share it on the Zone.

More picture's can be found on google, if you type in calypso red E30 or badboy bonnet e30.

there is also a link attached to the build thread of my project on the Just E30z Facebook Page:
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 011&type=3 -

I have spent alot of time & effort on this project & i am hoping to have my interior re-trimmed in caramel brown early next year with the E30 front seats replaced with E36 M3 Vader Seats with screens fitted in the headrests.

I am aiming to have my car featured in A Magazine hopefully next year.

I hope the fellow zoner's like my E30 Project PAR.

The car drives fine with them on, i have got a 15mm spacer on the front to clear the Gaz Gold Coilovers & i have given the front wheels a slight camber with the RPM top mounts, bearing in mind that i had the tracking done from elite in rainham who are known to be one of the best in tracking & alignment.

Looks like some great work mate, personally I prefer E30 seats to vadars but still be interested to see them in with a retrim!

What ET are the wheels do you know?

The badboy bonnet is not photo shopped, if you type in badboy bonnet e30 on google more pics of the car come up.

I am not sure about the ET of the wheels.

I got EZ-Lip from USA, search on e-bay, very easy and great fitting, its just rubber, so it doesn't matter if it rubs
