how much did that job cost you and how good is it? would you recommend the guy??

What did you have done, just a blow over? colour change? or full whack?

:cool: thanks all for the comments, i don't want to say on the price as its peanuts as its a mate, winkeye he owed me a favour, but is a top class job, the body was already good but i thought i need to get rid of the stone chips and any unwanted rust so he removed the m tec kit and behide the rear pod there was a little rust so he grinded all the rust away and rebuilt the bottom of the arch, and sprayed all the kit off the car took me a whole day to strip the car, i dread building it back, just waiting for all the new m tech kit clips, watch this space winkeye

White car's really turn heads....

a white e30, with RH's, and a matching hard-top is really, really going to turn heads!

Car should look stunning when done!

You're right, building cars back up is so time consuming....so many little bit's and bobs that you have to stick back on! Worth it in the end though winkeye

Check in the articles section about the smoked lights...i'm half-way through doing mine, and they look really good!

Just got to get the Cross-hair sorted for the high beams! I've gone a bit over-board, and i've sprayed the whole of the light, including the bit where the bulb goes...i know no-one will ever see it, but it makes them look like new! :D

All red, with the white reverse light should look good on that car!
