Looks like a lot of work has gone into that! Where did you get the bonnet bra from? I agree, they look good... on E30s at least.

That looks nice except for, as has been said, the sideskirts, grill and those chavy door lock things.

There were a few Baur IS, but no cabby.
I think the car looks great (bar the skirts). The wheels a very nice.

Thanks for the comments guys was a bit worried about butting it here to be honest,
but like i`v said earlier the sides are temporary untill i can find some BBS ones yeah sorry Neil it`s a BBS kit not the zender one
The wheels i had imported from the U.S there is a guy selling a few sets on e30owners for good money.

Looks good mate, far better with those wheels than the ones in your sig! How far out the arches do they stick then mate?
Wont be long till you crave a real engine rather than the toy one you have

I remember we spoke with ross and he said to ask someone else who has a proper rolling machine that he knew, not had the chance to get hold of them yet.
There is always the Alpina way! Heat gun and a mallet just tap it gently, that how mine were done on my 1st 2.5 and how richard did all his turbo technics xr4x4's didnt break the paint on any of them

only way to roll your arches, i done mine this way with a few mates sitting on the boot lid and then drove it backwards and forwards with the bar in the arch.
that looks way better than i thought it would
