I noticed when I did my rear valance that you really can't blend the paint!

Still the IS is looking awesome! Can see why you don't want to swap for a chrome turd, looks fantastic in the pics!

[Alex]

I noticed when I did my rear valance that you really can't blend the paint!

Hence why i sprayed the whole thing, it was like black on white that area is all textured and never really gets cleaned

[Ollie_bwoii]

Well atleast you did a poroper job, and didn't paint it all white like some people do!

[Alex]

Only if it had SE skirts

[Ollie_bwoii]

Black SE skirts, and a black IS lip would look

[Alex]

Black IS lips look Shite

would rather have a standard SE Little lip thing

[Ollie_bwoii]

Is there really only that rust! Have you had the carpets out? Boot caprets as well?

Just can't believe how rust free it has managed to stay!

[Alex]

Ollie its Fooking mint



dont have a pic of otherside but its the same












the under side is like new, not even any rust starting

Bulkhead mint, battery tray mint, scuttle mint, sunroof panel mint, arches mint, behind front mud flaps mint.

once the small patch in the inner wheel arch on the front is done, there would be no rust issues AT ALL, not even surface rust anywhere

Well this is on the to do list

[6potpower]

Black IS lips look Shite

would rather have a standard SE Little lip thing

They look good on black cars

[Alex]

[6potpower]

Reckon the e30 would look "sick" with a grey primer rieger kit?
With multi-fit ripspeed wheels

Decided to Paint the sills since they had white bits showing through as if the black was wearing off. Also painted my IS lip black.









Still had a little over lapping at the top but is an improvement.





Other side







Also fixed OBC lightboard bulbs



Is Lip, was going to spray it white put aerosol was spitting so just used satin black

[Ollie_bwoii]

That black IS lip looks so much better imo! And the sills look great too!

Not sure on your latest headunit choice though!

You need to lower it mate!
