E30 Zone

Well, after years of the "homebrew" motorsport grill conversion, i finally decided to go back 2 basics and put the chrome number 8 back on, i prefer it..!!

Other bits i've done recently include...

Front Strut Brace
H&R anti Roll Bars
Rear Sub-Frame Bushes
New Petrol Tank
Brand New Indicator Stalk (feels Amazing compared to my old one..!!)
A quick Clean..!! Been a while

Heres a few pics....











All comments welcome on the grills etc etc..!

Looks great Prefer the chrome grilles to black ones

Much better. Chrome grills are better then black ones, especially as the kidney grills are such an important feature of a BMW.

Right on!

I think the black grille gives the car a mean "look"
I went for the black grille, because i got tired of the chrome, BUT i kept my original chrome one if i ever wanted a change.

looks great

chrome grills are always the best imo

Look's very nice, the chrome does stand out

Works well with the polished lips too

Looks lovely.

I really like the contrast with the grilles and smoked lights. Chrome FTW

Tbh mate, i much prefer the look of chrome to plastic.
Seems like chrome is undergoing something of a renaissance
on modern cars too. Audis in particular.
Agree on Rushy,s car, very very nice.

Looks wicked dude

And the the rims are well

+1!

So is everyone going back to chrome? I better get mine painted, don't wanna be conformist now innit.

I've been toying with the idea of a black centre grill but this has now changed my mind.
If mine looks anywhere near as good as this when it's eventually finihed, I'll be well happy !!
Very nice looking motor.

A BMW is Chrome & now't else lads!!
