hi peeps, this is my iS as it is at the moment.

i've owned it for nearly 18 months now, and i'm loving every minute! even when she plays up!

ive recently had my wheels refurbed by Lepsons and i'm really pleased with them

When i bought it, there was no iS lip spoiler, standard indicators and repeaters and the alloys were in bad condition with a few pot hole stories to tell!! now, ive got clear indicators and side repeaters, all red rear lights (not shown unfortunately!) an iS lip spoiler, sexy wheels and a few trick bits inside, which i'm not showing coz they're not worthy yet!! unfortunately, due to a computer meltdown, i've got no pics of how she was before...

i've also got an engine project on the way, so i'll try and update on that, as and when

anyway, here's the pics i've got at the moment, so enjoy them for the mean time...

before the makeover...

and after...

hope you like these pics guys! i still gotta paint the small screw for the centre caps black, but other than that, there looking superb i think!!

Stu these wheels look shit hot mate, they look even better rolling down the road, evil in fact were have to put up a vid of them rolling mate

thats a good idea actually mate!! we'll try and sort that out!

Posted: **Mon Jul 17, 2006 9:14 pm**

Looks well nice mate,wheels look awesome!
Think the only thing im not too keen on are the eyebrows,but thats only my opinion.

Posted: **Mon Jul 17, 2006 9:24 pm**

cheers mate!

i forgot to even mention that i put the eyebrows on it!

they're definately a personal preference arent they! some people like them, others dont. i think they look good with the rest of the car tough. if i had a different colour E30, then maybe i wouldnt bother, but im digging it at the mo

oi, go wash your mouth out!!!

georob, i got the refurb done by Lepsons in Gillingham

im currently, in whatever spare time i can grab, trying to negotiate a deal with Lepsons for Zoners who want their wheels refurbed. im not saying too much, in case nothing can get sorted, but i'd like to try and see if we can cut a deal with them?

Sorry did i forget the "jap style" wing and gullwing doors!

Shall be watching the progress of this car closely, looks very nice so lets hope the future brings more shiney stuff.

Posted: **Mon Jul 17, 2006 10:12 pm**

well at the moment the engine is in bits! so im thinking that i wanna up the compression ratio, increase displacement, shit like that! not so sure really, i just want it fast! i've also been talking to Dips about s'chargers!!!

but nothings definate yet. future plans are a suspension upgrade, possibly the h&r cup kit, interior revamp, and obviously the engine! thinking about getting a resray too, coz it does have its little nicks and dinks! im looking to get a daily user shitter, so im not using the E30 as much!

i also forgot to mention that i've got a 3.91 slipper on it! very fun indeed!

thanks for all the positve comments guys...
