Beige Mtec 320i

Hello, Been on here a while now first post!
Purchased this Bronzitbeige coupe pretty much 2 years ago to the day. 1991 320i manual.
Always loved e30's especially tec 2 sports. I had some cash put together for a 2nd car and decided I wanted an e30. Unfortunately my budget just wasn't enough to secure a sport so I decided to spend a lot less and settled on this 320i.
I realise its not the most popular colour in these cars, but personally I liked it from the beginning. Once I had the car I couldn't decide on whether to keep it standard/oem or to get it kitted. Initially I kept it standard and drove it like that on weekends for about a year and a half. It drove well with no issues and thankfully was mechanically sound.
This year however I decided to change it up a bit. I purchased an mtec 2 kit and decided to contact my neighbour who is a panel beater by trade. The kit consisted of genuine side skirts, abs plastic front and rear bumpers and a spurious spoiler.
I was apprehensive as i hadn't seen many bronzitbeige e30s with a tec 2 kit fitted, but I decided to go ahead with it and if I didn't like it I would just put it all back to standard. The rear spoiler is of poor quality and I intend to swap it for a genuine one in time. It also had a crack in the centre of the bottom part so we decided to cut a circular shape out in line with the badge... almost like those e46 csl type rear spoilers. anyway its done and it looks OK but as I said I'll be replacing it in due course.
The car is very solid in the usual suspect places and didn't require any welding to date.
I purchased an lsd diff which is fitted. I also have a full sport interior to fit once I get time.
Anyway let me know what you think of the colour/kit combo.
