i bought his 325i cab with damged to the front end. me brothers said they would help me repair and paint the front end and clean it up. but i kind of bought a mtec2 kit aswell winkeye . so i give him the kit and the car and told him i like that candy red colour. he wasnt the happies with me. but this is how he return my cab to me one saturday. all i had to do was rebuild it. :D :cool: hope you guys like it,

325i model nomel Suspension just lowed with 18" Wheels fitted.
candy red Exterior with mtec2 kit fitted with full leather Interior with air con.
as for Performance its got a k&n and a full stainless exhaust system and been chiped
my Future Plans are to fit a colour coded hard top and getting some deep dish bbs for it and going to turbo it.

Not personally a big fan of cabs and not 100% sure on the wheels either,but credit wher credit is due,that looks stunning :clap:

Excellent pics too!

Is that the finished product then or do you plan to do any mechanical mods?

Hard top in the same colour would finish it perfectly too.

Well done mate :cool:

The car looks sweet fella, loving the whole look :cool:

If you get some BBS Splitties they would look even better tbh, what rims have you got on there at the moment??

Any interior pic's?

That paint is simply amazing, your brother must be a talented guy!

I am not sure about those wheels, I think the cross spoke split rims jobbies like the 328 sport had would look better myself. But that striped grill looks very out of place - takes the emphasis on the front end away from the beautiful paint.

Good luck with the turbo conversion.

I prefer repraying rather than changing colors, and blue is my favorite color :D, but that looks really good.
I kinda like that wooden wheel, too!

I wasn't too sure myself of the techII kit on the early tails, but that came out clean.
Why did you choose to put the kit on before you painted? Hopefully you don't decide to sell it one day or lose a piece ;)
