Looks good. I might be biased, but red E30s look cool :cool:

What width are the wheels?

I have no clue! i've got adjustiable platforms on the rear and the front has some springs on from when i bought it :) speed humps are an issue, and with my smaller tyres on (front being sont this weekend) i think i will be alo worse as they are about 20-30mm lower! good job i got a good solid sump guard haha

Got my wire brush on the angle grinder and hey presto!

Did the same with my 51mm struts, Before and after shot:

I cleaned up the brakes with a wire brush and painted them with high temp silver paint (thought red brakes would look abit cheap on a red car?) :

Image

Whats a washing line for?? Its for hanging your brakes on of cause!

Fronts:

Rears:

I could have cleaned up one of the rears a bit better but it was dark and they looked pretty good! oops! but never mind :)

Finally, i painted the backplate of the diff:
