Very nice mate, I nearly bought one of these a couple of years ago with only 32k on the clock. Rear lights arnt my taste though, They look to bling for the car, But hey thats just me.

Dude

Loved the first pic, she looked sweet. Not sure about the lights though.

These are pretty rare cars. Have a chat with BMW to see how many where made and in how many colours. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Personally, I would have started with not such a good base car as a project. Anyway, just my opinion and I look forward to seeing how she changes.

ThatԚ´s true :D IԚ´m REALLY happy with the result and is that kind of thing that looks even better when you see it live.
Those tail lights arenԚ´t there anymore, now it has some LED stuff.

IԚ´m looking forward to see the result of your project. The E30 cab is one of my favourites. 8)
IԚ´m in a middle of an "E30 project" right now, with my 318is but i still have a long way to go :P
Keep up the good work :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I dont like original but there are e30 like limited edition modals which I feel should be original once they are gone they are gone and your car will be worth alot more original then modded.
But good luck with it.
