Think my old school mate (Jason Hind)lived on that street?
Quite alot of streets round here look like that. Not lived here that long so name doesn't ring bells. Never seen your car around mate....in fact only seen one e30 in halifax.

isn't that the suicide bridge over the M62 down near ripponden ?
Yeah it is. Thought with the dams and the bridge it would make decent scenery. Not sentimental or anything but my grandad was part of the team that built that bridge....quite scary from up there!

I was looking the continuous red bodywork and thought it needed some contrast. That's a great idea.

Wheels look great but the rear lights could look better standard.

Love the car!

Superb! wish mine was pre facelift, I'd have those lights off you straight away!

Did M3s not have the number plate surround fill in between the rear lights?

Much better with the new lights fitted, maybe parking M3s on motorway bridges would be a better way of making people slow down than camera vans?? :mad: i Know i'd slow done for a look especialy if it was as nice as yours :lol:

Think it looks better with the tinted versions. :? Matches the black of the window surround, door handles and the tinted repeaters.

I did however, just roughly knock up a couple of version that was tinted and red. I think I prefer the left one.

Not too sure where you've got that from - I'm simply just agreed with what you said, never said a word about the actual car itself.

I quite liked the old lights, but the stock ones do look better.

Surprised you haven't been pulled up on the M badge being in the wrong place though!! winkeye

You've lost me Jim, do you mean the one on the bootlid? Maybe one of the pics look dodgy (I don't know) but the badge was put on correctly by me after the paint job - I got the exact measurement off the old BMWCC forum.
Not that I'm getting defensive.
