Before and After now with sports leather interior

[andreia]

I had `kofi` for some months now and couldent keep my hands away and this is how it turned up. First to pictures are when i first bought it and the rest is how it looks now. All coments welcome



The transformation consists in yellow fogs and headlights, an upside down volvo lip, alpina replicas, these they were black and i have respray them in polaris silver. They are difrent from the previous replicas i have seen, they have a lip and a slight curved dish, eibach strut brace and mtech1 steringwheel







German flag on

[Alex]

Wonderd where you had gone

Looks tidy Andy, not a lover of the volvo lip mind. Yellow lights look different

Your old cab will be rust free by sunday

[kieran325]

Nice transformation there

I've got some genuine Alpina's if ya interested and I'm in Manchester too

[tonybtonyb]

nice car mate!

[bmwm42lvr]

i know this is a uk site but im looking for real e30 alpina wheels...only thing thats bad is i live in the US...no one wants to ship here and the ones that are here are real damn expensive. let me know. thanks bmwm42lvr

[E30mart]

Very nice mate! The lip looks diffrent too, i quite like it....

[ChelseaBoy]

Hehehe.....I am glad it went to a good home. Keep up the good work mate, its looking good...coming along nicely. Look forward to more updates

[Felix79]

Looks really nice with the yellow tint on the front lights. Also love the colour.

[ChelseaBoy]

I don't normally like yellow lights, but look quite spot on with that particular blue.....not sure about that front bumper though....looks kind of menacing

[staley_turbo]

Are the lights a standard item? I rather like them.

[German-Whips]

Are these coloured lights legal in the UK? Considering getting some myself provided they're legal that is.

[andreia]

[ChelseaBoy]

Looking good man

[shimsheemer]

It looks lovely with the yellow lights.

Will you change the colour of the indicators? Not for yellow obviously, but how about a dark smoke? I reckon that will give it a very clean look, but feel free to treat me with contempt as I'm just allergic to orange indicators!

Looks lovely mate...

Definetly dark indicatorrs and black kidney grill

[shimsheemer]

Awesome, I think that'll set it off beautifully.

[ali50ferrari]

got a black kidney gril lif you after it mate!! cheap cheap 15 with p and p! wow that cheap lol

[ChelseaBoy]

Great idea. Could work really well that colour scheme. But be careful, don't go past the point of no return.

[andreia]

Cambelt and waterpump done yestarday so a few pics

[ali50ferrari]

still got the black grill if you want it mate! ps i like the volvo splitter on the front, what future mods you have planned?

[Jim320i]

I'd keep the grill chrome. Looks mint. Black only looks right on Red, White and any other light facelift models. IMO

[andreia]

No plans as regarding the exterior yet
I want this car mechanically sound
Up to know i have done all the filters, oil and coolant change, new sparkplugs, cambelt , tensioner , water pump and aux belt,
Fited a s/h steering rack mine was leaking
A wild chip from speedtouch combined with the 6 branch what already was on it drives fantastic
I need to change the breaks all round already bought them just no time yet and to sort the abs light

[MurphyE30]

great work mate. exterior looks great as it is

[jann]

Volvo 740 or 940 not realy sure an old volvo anyway

[jann]

Had a look around some volvo's the other day and it must be a 740.
Are they the same size as a E30? Obv it will need some modding to get on.

[appletree]

remember on the volvos it fits the other way up so its easy to miss them as they dont look the same as they do on the E30

[fingerman]

I like the splitter and yellow light

Was that Chelsea Boys old motor, and whereabouts in Manchester are you?

Yes it was, im in Rochdale

[Gert_8]

Nice transformation. It's gone from looking like a sheep to a wolf! especially with volvo spoiler. Love the yellow lights too, thought about that myself, but ended up putting on genuine smoked Hellas instead.

[andreia]

Been ofered a set of 16` Borbet T five stud, so i been thinking if to sell the alpinas and do a conversion, found this on google so this is what im aming for. Coments welcome

[Felix79]

With a 5 stud setup you can have a nice choice of wheels, also might be worth rolling your arches too so you can experiement with different widths of wheels.

[spook]

You should be able to pick up a nice set of Borbet Ts from Ebay De in 4 x100 cheap enough.

I would not change the set up for a set of these mate,
