Thanks, Mart! There were a few points along the way where the car looked like it may never be completed!

Thanks

Just realised I didn't post any of the stealthy boot install...

Cooling is handled by the 2, 80mm fans on the front that draw out any warm air into the boot space. The speaker grill fabric allows the air out but covers the fans from being seen.

What a really lovely boot install, one hell of a lot of time and care has gone into this, cheers

Credit to my dad for that boot build. I gave him the brief, he made it happen. Built of lightweight 18mm birch ply with the front and top panel secured with machine screws to allow removal with the boot toolkit screwdriver if required. My brother lives up in Leeds - Morley, I'll shout you when I'm up that way can grab a drink!

Very nice, shows what can be done to a basic spec car with a bit of effort. I love the SE look as you can probably tell

[Moz]

Thanks, tha881. My favourite is the tech 1 but they're so expensive now that I cannot justify the spend on one. SE is a subtle upgrade from standard without breaking the bank and I agree it looks awesome! I see yours is in alpine white, my favourite E30 colour but a pain to keep clean!

Great progress! I have to ask as i have the same issue that you used to by the looks of it- what did you do the the exhaust to get it shiny!? Just a tip I’m assuming?

[Moz]

It is indeed just a tip. I had to mangle it a bit to make it fit and it was pretty crap but it looks quite good once on. I have ordered a different one, a bit smaller so will post a photo of that on here once fitted. Both are ten pound ebay jobbies that I add a few coats of heat/petrol resistant lacquer to before fitting.

Thanks

Fair play as said before some really nice subtle modifications.
Looking forward to seeing how the interior LEDs look.

[Moz]

Will try to do interior lights over the long weekend so will post once complete

[Moz]

A few updates. New exhaust tip is now on, had to shorten and change the angle of it but I like this one better than the previous one. LED bulbs are now in the interior lights and have made a massive difference. The positioning of the interior lights isn't great so these have helped.

Thanks

Subtle changes but oem and smart, nice job.
