2 YEAR CAB PROJECT, WHAT DO YOU THINK??

[bootyman]

Well done Greeny. You hit the nail on the head. If we all drove tech spec'd cars with alpina rep's the E30 would have died time ago. It's all about pushing the boundries, but most dont understand the game here. That's cool though cause we're all different, but no E30 is too secred for me to chop up

[Greeny]

I think this thread has rustled up a hornets nest, there will be rioting next. LOL. I love a good punch up!

[bootyman]

No chance. The old folks here aint got no chance against us younger lot It's been going for years and will always do cause we are all different and all like different things!

[Greeny]

That's what makes us individuals and our cars individual.

[bootyman]

Yeah your car is crap

[ad318i]

Maybe the Zone should have 3 sections to display your cars 1 Stock 2 Modified 3 Ultra Modified.
But hats off to you its having the desired affect last time i looked you had over 3000 hits and over 100 comments.
Try to get some high res pics up

there used to be a highly modified section which booty modded but there was nt many posts in it so it got closed down

[Greeny]

I've got some pictures of my granny somewhere, anyone want to see them?

I'm sure pacer will.

Booty, her farts will be very loud if you did that

[bootyman]

It was because it was felt that the new section was too similar to the Styling section.

UI love any E30 which is not standard. Well lmost

Hmm. Granny chopping. I'd love that

[bootyman]

Bass fart

[Greeny]

I'm laughing so hard thinking about a bassy fart I can hardly type. LOL!!!!!

[bootyman]

Imagine if you can sdjust it! lol Hold on a little bit more trebble

[Greeny]

Stop it now, i'm going to need some sellotape in a miute to stop my sides from splitting.

[JAFF]

glad to say bootyman after very little consideration but a future of hard graft iv brought kingcruizers cab and gna finish off the i.c.e and may put some different wheels may be pinas or some big deep dish 18"slet me know if you think of anything guys

[russiec]

well not been on here in like 6 months n remember seeing this fucking ages ago.. i find it funny that cos so many people dont like it its still around lol.

to be honest fella in the first pics you posted it was scary lol it was like looking at pamerla anderson halfway through her new face lift.. a nice model thats terrifiying half way through all cut up bleeding n sore lol.. but looking at the final finish i must say im very impressed.

i love t standard e30's and pretty much anything with wheels.

this look the nuts and does not the have the stereo type boy racer thewme i mean come on its not a nova with a great fucking dust bin attached to the exhaust..

I guess what im sayinbg is hmmmmmmmmm yes i would.. blow myself over it lol.

well done

[Ajay325]

I think the reason so many people dont like this car is because the german scene is all about tasteful and yet subtle modification, but still whatever tickles your pickle i guess.

[JAFF]

id like to see these so called rules in writing !the whole point of moddin is that its individual and weve all got that right

[yamoda]

Hate the car, but respect to you for going down your own road.

[delboy75]

fair play mate..always been the same.if i'm happy wiv me car then thats all i care about...it's nice to get compliments,but i can live without um..not to sure what i'm going to do wiv mine yet but i'm sure it won't be everybody's cuppa

[m3ben05]

OH MY GOD this is still going!!!

[snowye30]

you've made it ur own thats for sure, can't see it being in performance BMW though, after all thats the mag 2 be seen in.

[bimzee]

Well it certainly looks different and very interesting to see what has been done. The only things I do not really get are:

Clear rear lamps
Style of the wings
Dashboard - where are the instruments?

I'm not really sure what I'd do with the lamps - the colour is quite difficult to work with I think, a pale pearlescent would probably allow a few options there, maybe shading them a bit into the paint colour, straightforward tinting or trying a horizontal band of darkness so they disappear completely.

Wings: I prefer rolled/flared arches as they seem more graceful, like the back of a wide-bodied 911 for instance, or Corvette. You might be able to get a set of wider M3 style arches - although many people use them - ideally in your car I'd go for some full custom flared arches to get rid of the bolt-on look. The modern arch style of the Focus, TT, Mondeo etc looks nice too but I think it needs a car with curves whereas the E30 is a very square car, so you just need to soften the square at the wheels with a custom flare.

The Dashboard doesn't seem to flow for me, I'n not sure where the speedo etc are in there, and not sure the big speakers match because they are very round and the design is very angular. They would suit a bit sweeping curved dash/console better I think. Dashes are quite tricky to get right

Your wheels look fine on there - my personal fave are BBS wheels but only on fairly standard cars because of the whole look - they wouldn't suit your car - these are better here. Your wheels give a quite contemporary look but if you go for broke on futuristic then you may want a more filled in wheel look, or even full custom - deep dark dished like the Dodge on the Dukes of Hazzard might even suit. You might find photoshop a cheaper and quicker way to try out various designs.

I think you really need to get a clear picture in your mind about the whole look of the car (futuristic, Dan Dare, UFO, Deco etc.) and make sure that all parts of the car match that vision so the whole design sticks together well. The front dam might also do with painting the netting/grille the same colour as the main grille on the car as it will overshadow the front and make it look too bottom heavy.

Interesting doors - that must have taken some effort - are they powered like in I-robot?

who gives a shit what u want, not like its your car

[snooka]

that's right, own car = own style like it or not

i respect the work don!! but not my taste

if i'm not mistaken you also maded a e30 with e36 front?

[kingcruizer]

snooka... i sure did mate. a very long time ago. e36 front and rear with flip paint. got a fast car feature with that.

[snooka]

ja i think i got some pics of tha one on my computer

can't wait to see ur next project, now tha the cabs gone

cheers

[kingcruizer]

if you have can you send them to me at kingcruizer@hotmail.com as i dont have many after moving house. cheers

[snooka]

've sended the pics, bu i only found one with the e36 front maybe if you search the topic on the forum? a very old topic

[helga]

the front looks good

[helga]

like the exaust, is it a scorpion??

[munky30]

This topic is so damn old!

But just to add to the whole 'the work thats gone into it looks good, even if its not to my taste its right for the 'maxpower/fastcar' scene' fence sitting.

I posted this car on a couple of 'keroooz' forums I used to go on (a long time ago) and the responses there were the same. These are kids that subscribe to the Lax power and (wish it was) fast car culture and think putting a wing on a saxo adds 10bhp and looks 'fokkin wikkid' and they all said it looked gash too.

discuss.....
