Nice....loving the plates. Are you sure thats 80mm? looks like 40 to me

[visionz]

yeah the springs were tiny just need to be driven on for a bit to settle em down.. (i hope) lol

[Speedtouch]

Hehe, join the club: my black 325iSE has an offside smiley and nearside normal projector lamp too!

[visionz]

lol ur the first one to notice i thought i got away with that.. haha.. i must change it back

[massive]

yeah the springs were tiny just need to be driven on for a bit to settle em down.. (i hope) lol

Regardless whether it settles, looks spot on to me as is

[visionz]

cheers matey.. turns out the old front shocks i had were completly fooked.. wondered why it was a bit boaty LOL.. i point it goes now.. standard gas shocks

[zaust]

looks sweet fella. I just swaped my 60/65 for 80/80 and it sits higher at thje moment....

[nasir325ic]

looks really nice, love the all black look, and that to me looks a 60 - 40mm drop,

80mm youd have the edge of the back wheel (not tyre) just under the arch

[maxfield]

Don't forget the springs have to settle

Lovely looking car.

[Razza]

Nice mate, are they blacked out boot & bonnet badges?

Where did you get em

[visionz]

came on the car mate.. look like they just been made tho.. cuz u can see on one of em where they missed and its still blue as for the height of the car.. how long am i sposed to wait for it to settle.. cuz it's higher than the 40mm springs i had on it before.. (on the back) the front is just covering the tyre.

[nasir325ic]

About a week, but wont go much lower than it is already on the back. imo

Wat make springs and shocks you got in there?

[E30BeemerLad]

plates look cool fella, but it can't be long until you get tugged for them

[visionz]

Standard gas front shocks with "J-Tec" 80mm springs and Apex sport rear shocks with "J-Tec" 80mm springs..

Reckon they've sent me the wrong springs?

[visionz]

lol beemer.. i'm just waiting the countdown is on

[stevetigger]

How did you get them spaced like that?

[NIX]

I always liked the look of my e30 spoiler-less but yours is really making me think twice. Would have to be a Hartge one if I went for it. How much did you get yours for?

Sure I've said it on another post but your car does look rude made! Nice one!!

[visionz]

Chers matey.. got my spoiler for 40 quid lol.. someone didnt know what it was me thinks

[steerfromtherear]

Got a link for the J-tec springs at all?

Your car looks the nuts btw, loving the all black look.
Tourer is already on it's way towards a similar theme.
Like the black Alpina rims as well which I wouldn't have thought I would

[NIX]

Chers matey.. got my spoiler for 40 quid lol.. someone didnt know what it was me thinks

Lucky Barst.......!

dont know about that, do they recommend you use any specific shocks at all, becsause that can make a difference

[visionz]

They reccomend their own shocks of course

NIX: about the only thing i've ever got lucky with.. (CARS WISE) lol just realised that sounded a bit gay.. haha

Steer: the link to j-tec is http://search.stores.ebay.co.uk/Perform ... 90QQsofpZ0 but dont belive the "24 hour delivery" i had to wait a week..

[dazleeds]

the arse of my tech 1 looks as low if not lower and i was assuking it was a 60/60 drop???

could be wrong i suppose

give it some beans and im sure she will sit soon mate

[visionz]

[steerfromtherear]

Ta visionz. I will check my balance and get some ordered

edit also noticed in the parts for sale section this 323 is -80mm according to the ad, just for reference

[mudskipper]

buddy, if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for the plates as i am fairly interested in doing this to the touring?

cheers

[nasir325ic]

from the link youve given it is possible theyve given you 40mm springs.


and Daz yours is deffo 60mm coz the arches on the eailer cars are higher

[w17led]

Agree with Nas,

They do not look -80mm, although all new springs settle, but it should be sitting lower.

Nice car by the way

[visionz]

Steer.. that dont look too much different.. but as nas said the arches are higher on pre-facelift?...

Mud.. all together i payed 40 quid.. www.dubmeister.co.uk .. next day delivery.. spot on tbh

[TW166Y]

mate can i ask where you got your plates done exactly like that? i love um and i love the round badges in the centre of the plate... fecking quality

[visionz]

http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/ .. click on "pressed plates" and click on "seals" to see the various available.. then when making your order just state which stickers you want with your plate.. to make my plate i put:

F40:8N PO - Please use "Bavaria" Logo with Green emissions Seal. Cheers ":" indicates to leave a gap for stickers.

Then just use the check boxes to choose what style of plate u want.. "D banded" etc.

ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK U'VE PUT THE RIGHT OPTIONS THO.. Last thing you want it the wrong plate comin thru

[visionz]
