Decent pic...? :?

Can tell nothing about stance from a couple of dodgy front wheel shots..

Not-impressed.

That looks like -40mm maybe -50mm.

You have cut the springs? Not cool Front looks a good height but need some decent side on shots, like mine for example:

why is that council? not a massive fan of the wheels myself, nor the colour combo on a 36 tourer but the car looks standard bar the drop?

is it yours kos? i can see a pattern......

i would expect to see this on a council estate more than the tourer!
tourerz is 4 us that got class bruv get me? cos i can carry all my man dem and bare Lidl bagz at same time yeah

ps: not dissing tourers, i've got one and its :cool:

OP more pics please! i'm guessing that cut springs isn't a permanent solution?

it is council and almost standard but if you dont like the car then thats an opinion that differs to most others

no i do like it mate, i was sticking up for it! theres a difference between not liking it and not choosing to do the same yourself! i like the way you carry the white theme through all your cars, the m3 looks wicked, its a real motorsporty look. A lot of people probably wouldnt like my tourer.......

packing some stance aswell mate, most on here would probably think mine is council!

yeah it is avus mate, it looks gorgeous when its polished up but hasn't looked clean for a while!
and thanks!
on the white thing, i know what you mean, my e30 is white and its so hard to try and make it look different without ruining it! i think your at the same school as me, buy a car with good looks to start with then use wheel choice and stance to set it apart! seems a popular way these days but there are still ways to stand out without going overboard, just have to wear your thinking cap 24/7 eh!

oh and crackin little compact! did i read a thread a while back about an engine swap in this thing? my mates got an m50'd 318ti and its a hoot!

yes, thats right. its an m53 2.5, 5.5kg fly wheel, m50 inlet. 220bhp with a problematic vanos.

its now pretty much dedicated track car

as for avus blue, stunning colour.

in regards to moding them, my school of though it like yours. we like them enough as they leave the factory so there's no need change much on them.

Like the 2 Tourings on here. 8) Though a plate effectively saying "Tokyo" is unusual on a german car.
