Prob wont look bad but i would paint the engine bay the same colour just make your mind up and paint the bay yourself if you are going to paint it black you rather paint it the colour of the car will look better.

See how it goes, need to fit the lpg kit to rep. Put the tech 2 together, and off they go for spray.

bmw-mad, do you have a good dash for a cab?

bit too modern i think, i do like the new 3 stage pearl green on the focus rs, but i'm leaving that for the e46 m3.

i think this is going in a shimmering blue

the m5 ones, will be highly polished when i get some time. i do have a few spare sets of style 5's, so if the other ones rub, i'l fit them.

m5 ones are 8.5j all around, et13. i do have wider rears; 10j but they don't fit.

style 5's are 8j all around, et20, so sit further in.

The green E36 looks nice but, in my humble opinion, as above in white is pure sex on wheels !!

Was only going spray it but having spent a fortune on new bushes/bearings/brakes/pipes/etc, they had to be powder coated.

Let me know if you need it done, i had my stuff acid dipped/shotblasted/coated. Few other bits have been done as well, like springs/arb's/gearbox mount.

I'll let you know if my guy can't do it. Not high on my list at the moment, got loads of other stuff to do.

Hows the rep coming along?
