sunny day and BBS RS

After a year of sitting in my spare bathroom i set about polishing the BBS and fitting some new boots, and now they are back on the car. Not sure about the tyres as i got a very cheap set of Pirelli Pzeros but in 205/45/16 so they are a little skinny at first glance but i hope they will grow on me, i do not want to drop the suspension anymore but maybe another half cm just to fill the front arches.

anyhow...as it was yesterday..

and in today's partial sunshine...

Dont take this in an offensive way, but why is the tech kit a different colour?

Love the wheels tho!

As Barry says its a Japanese spec so the car is sterling and the lower kit is granite silver, when I first bought it I planned to paint the lower kit sterling but after seeing it parked next to a full sterling car it looked too plain and the two tone has grown on me!

It looks better at night as the rims stand out against the dark kit, I did have my black schnitzers on but they looked pants, too dark.

Exhaust is quite big but it's an eilsemann so I would need to cut the tips and weld smaller ones on, and I can't be arsed! I have issues with small cats sleeping in them but a good blast clears them out!

I am very surprised no eye brow comments!!

its also a full six branch system so it sounds quite nice, i had considered painting the exhaust tips in black to see if they look a bit less noticable, i may even try black chrome.

on the subject i am waiting on my spare kidneys to come back form the paint shop where the guy is spraying them black chrome, so not sure how that will look, but if its good enough for the Bentley conti sport then its good enough for my E30!

eyebrows are a marmite thing, on some cars i like, on others i dont, mine do not appear to offensive so i keep them on!

Thanks Pete, that's what I meant to type.

By the way you will be pleased to know I am looking at a Surburban as my daily turd tomorrow.

Good man, just when I thought you were a lost cause , you've redeemed yourself ! :)


Go on, make us sick, how much is petrol per litre ? :(

it depends on if you use the expensive stuff (95 octane) that is a pricey 17p a litre, but with the way the pound is devaluing that may stretch to 18 or 19p soon, however these yank turds will run off of anything that burns so we use the 91octane fuel at 13p a litre, but those with the smarts go over the Saudi to fill up where the cheap stuff is an eye watering 7p a litre and the expensive option (and i must confess i do splurg on it from time to time) is 10p.

lucky as my dodge durango uses a coke can of fuel per mile :eek: this is why it needs gone for a more economical 7.4litre surburban, 9th generation version for the anoraks
