Hard to beat a Tech 2 Calypso Cabby. :cool:

Unlike what many think, I think the RH's compliment the tech 2 shape perfectly, although they have become very common sight on cabs.

Any other mods planned?

At the moment she's on standard shocks and the springs are by Apex 60/60mm. Hard to get hold of now.

Will be selling the set-up soon as getting coilover for the converty and my coupe.

top job mate. Personally i think it is one of the best colours for a e30. Also i am getting tempted to remove my spoiler after seeing yours.

I think BBS rims are the must have wheel with that colour

Best place to look is on German websites or sometimes they do pop up on Ebay.
