ok we have actually had a load of rain here belive it or not, it rained for a solid 2 hours :eek: so during a break in the terrible rains storms i got out to my favorite rocky area to a. damage my tech 2 valance (the eagle eyed will spot the picture where its obvious) b. knacker my exhaust and c. give myself a big doubt whether the BBS loook better than my old schnitzers..... let the zoners decide (orangecurry advice welcome too!)

oh and added some clear side repeaters and home smoked my fronts as the theiving basterds in UK did took my money and sent only the side repeaters.... they have been given a week then its NAME AND SHAME :x

before and

I think the BBS look well :bling: but I did like the slick look with the schnitzers (they made the car look evil with the smoked lights etc).

After a chat with a couple of the guys last night we were saying how good a motor looks with schnitzers looks with out a tech2 kit becasue it makes the car look raw.

and u know that my honest view cos i do normally really like the bling factor dont i

But if ur happy witht he BBS rim's thats the main thing

Name and shame who's had u over mate

The BBS are way better - put BMW roundels on them and that will finish them off.

silver schnitzers looks 'council' in comparison, black looks supersmoothcoolmmmmmmm

tech2 kit is the bollox

stop fiddling with perfection... 'walk away' as my football coach used to say

now - for gawds sake get some more polish on that door skin :mad:

ps your first 'rocks' picture looks like a toy car and some pebbles - odd effect; I love the whole contrast with the rock colour and the sky

Nooooooooo you have sussed me out :o: i dont really own a E30 just a model of one that i play with in my garden shed the rocks are small stones and the green bits are just moss nicked from my extensive Hornby train set / collection, thats why you never will see a reflection of me in my badly polished door :eek:

no but seriously i did think something was wierd about that pic, and you have got it, the tyres dont look right, the closest one seems to be floating just above the stones! maybe the pin that holds it on is bent winkeye

well seems i will polish the rim of my schnitzers and hoy them back on, the BBS have been good to me but i am also partial to the black look.

I really love those 16 inch BBS wheels (they are the rare 4*100 16 inch?)

But must say the schnitzers on your car with the black hart makes the car great!!
And mutch beter to clean :D

So keep the schnitzers!

funny that i was just doing james bond-esq text message to a mate... mish moneypenny - although i am a roger moore man myself

i have also come to the conclusion thet the schnitzers look better, i may paint the BBS black or dark grey centres and see how they look, i may also have the BBS on the passenger side and the Schnitzers on the drivers side- best of both worlds!!


Its also a hard choice as the BBs look better under streetlights at night, the schnitzers look better by day....dam it!!
