Not council at all mate. Looks bang on. :thumb:

Azevs aren't my favourite wheel I have to admit, but they really seem to work on your car.

V. nice, love the tech-2 kits in that colour, is it laser blue? only thing i'd change is the smoked lights but that's just my opinion! Nice car...

Nice car mate. I lolled at the blanked out numberplate. More people would have seen it in London on the day the pic was taken, than will ever see it on here! I wonder how many CCTV cameras it appeared on!

I like the Azevs, one of the only flat wheels that suits the e30. Nice effort.

As far as the roof is concerned, I'd consider converting to manual.

So not council. E30's look at home in urban surroudings. That cab looks perfect.

Thanks for the comments guys :)

Mauritius blue is the colour.


Lol true say about the number plates... Best to be safe than sorry! Just incase the pictures end up on the barryboys site. :roll:
I know how cruel some of the people on this forum can be. :?

Very nice, looks great. The lads in the E30 center know thier stuff, better off take it to them rather than let some half wit at it. Worth the trip up to Brum.

best of luck with the motor, I hope the weather is being kinder to you than it is to this cab owner :)

Car looks great, but as you are open to suggestions then what i'd say is:-
- DIY smoke the front lights
- get rid of the smoked rear lights and replace with DIY all red rear lights (always looks better on blue cars due to the contrast).
- spray the front grill (all 3 parts) gloss black, I've done this on all my e30's and it modinisez (is that even a word?) the whole front end.

Not massive things, but they do make a big difference.

As i say it looks great as it is, but that's what i'd do. Having said that i remember what this car used to look like so i know what a transformation it's already had!

Sadly I am the typical sad penniless loser e30 owner (sure you can relate to that one) My e30 just means I have an e30, nothing more, nothing less

Shame the wheels and tyres are probably worth more most of the 'tasteful' contraptions you aspire to though

Hahaha! I'm pretty sure it's unintentional, but your posts do make me laugh!

Unless its just a poor attempt at a wind up, it shows how little you know.. Not that in the grand scheme of things I actually give a monkeys what you think of my wheels, or even my car

I hope to god you really arent that retarded in real life, and its just your internet persona shining through. You dont have to do anything to make me laugh though, just post a few words of drivel like you seem to keep doing repeatedly.. Maybe you were refering to yourself with the same old shit comment

Anyways Im bored with you now, I only find low IQ's amusing as a temporary distraction, and I feel bad to have ruined the OP's thread inciting you to post crap on it

Dude!

Leave the front lights alone and put the regular rear lights on and it will be almost perfect. I don't know why people need to mess with a car that looks so good as standard.
