How did you get that quad exhaust in...isnt the petrol tank in the way?

Amazing interior, bloody superb., wish minewas liek that

Ive got those door builds too, i found that they hit your leg and most of the sound hardly reaches you, you hear more from the rear than from the front, but bolloks to that, they look excelent

Thanks for the comments mate.
The quad pipes run inbetween the tank and the rear metal valance with a little cut and bend here and there it fits perfectly inside the metal valance and tech 1 valance.The door pods are quite cool i have 2 way 400w jbl's in them with 400w jbl coloum mounted tweeters and a sony 1400w sub in the boot,sounds damm good even with the roof off at a ton,the only downside to the pods is the glovebox hits it slightly,but the looks make up for it!!!!!

Wack a restraining tether into your glove box, shorter than the existing one, that way it wont drop onto your install.

Nice looking work there. :)

One slight problem though... your alpina reps have 19 spokes, not 20 like genuine ones...

I swear some people have too much time on their hands ANYWAY the bra was from the states,i had to modify it a little as U.S e30's have an extended bumper carrier,so from the bottom of the lights down was cut and restiched,and on the bottom in the middle i have fastened it to the body cause at 130 it lifted off scary as fcuk but its sound now....think it looks ok though

Bolloks to that, ive jsut installed my Scorpion system as well, not a happy bunny now. But all credit to yourself, superb car

Looks bloomen spot on man, love it, might just have to nick it!!!lol

Crikey... defensive much?!

Like I said, impressive looking car... the wheels just arent my personal taste is all.

But seriously, putting genuine alpina centre caps on 19 spoke reps is a bit fur coat and no knickers.

I can never understand how people can spend so much time and effort getting their car in top condition like yours then sell it.

Everyone is different I know but I still dont understand it. :mad:

i dont understand that either. i spend silly amounts on my cars but only on long term projects as you never see the cash spent back if you do sell. mind you i do have mates that spend a lot of cash on what ever motor thats taking their fancy at the time but never keep any for more than a couple of months. i like to enjoy mine as well as mod it.
nice car you had none the less although it did have a couple of odd touches imo 8)

Looking good there mate! Glad to see you put the original rear lights back on, not a fan of those weird 'Lexus type' lights you see on so many corsa's and fiesta's nowadays. Interior looks mint as well.

Dave.
