sorry for the power pictures.

interested to know all your opionions. I've got some better pics but they aren't hosted yet.

It's lowered 60mm on Pi Springs and the wheels are 7.5 x 18" Khan Rss's.

They weren't my first choice of rim, but they came up really cheap (i paid £180 with tyres) and then had them reconditioned.

At the moment i've fitted clear front indicators and side repetors (the front indicators have the silvertech bulbs in so are completely clear) and i've fitted a black kidney grille.

I've also fixed loads of interior problems with it (plastics that were broken etc)

I was going to keep it short and sweet but the more i drive it the more i love it and the more i want to treat it.

I'm going to see a friend about a Black and Blue leather re-trim on Monday. (Black bolsters and blue centres) and i'm also looking at getting a nice exhaust.

I love the standard bumpers so they won't change, so the look of the car will ideally be standard E30.

Though i'm going to get a full cat 1 alarm fitted and with that i'm going to the bodyshop to get the door locks taken out. and also get some scratchs and a few minor dents sorted. I want the boot completely de-badge so the BMW centre badge and the stick on M badge will be going...

I'm going to tint the rear lights Red, and then get a brand new Mohair roof.

It's got a full stamped service history and has done 100k but i'm going to get a full Cam kit and head set and replace the cam, lifters, tappets and get the head cleaned up as well as it's a bit tappy at the moment :cry:

not my personal choice of rim but for £180 you can't go wrong, i would have done the same. Looking good mate, nice drop you got on there too.

Lovely cabriolet mate!!! I was very tempted to get 18" kahn RSS myself, think they look great and really suit your car.
Keep up the good work!!!
