I like the way the lights go with the bumper, but i didnt want black lexus lights, maybe their a bit too much though.
Thanks guys

i like it including the rear lights, on a red car keep the lights as they are but black or white bm's i like to get shot of all red and amber, i don't even want a yellow plate at the back

what paint did you paint the rocker cover with.

I agree, on a red car id have all reds, id prefer black and white plates aswell, just loadsa hassle to get them.

Uh i think i used an interior paint from homebase or something, said its good for 250 degrees so its ok, just a project paint spray i think, nothing special, i couldnt find any proper engine or high temp paint.

The rear lights are a bit dark +I like badges but each to their own.Other than that looks nice.
Only you will see the under the bonnet.


what do you use for an ariel as I have taken mine out and filled the hole as it was letting in water.The ariel is lying in the boot and I still get a signal.
ps some front fogs would be nice

When i took the ariel out i took some of the boot lining away so i could get to the hole, and found some brackets, i guess they were just for the wires but the ariel fit in there sweet as a nut, put the boot lining back, no one knows.

And i kinda gave up on the foglights idea as all my mates have em and they are on 24/7, pisses me rite off. But i do want to get some eventually, just to say i got em lol.

Mean E30 mate! Although mine's original. Look great in white don't they?

no ,id prefer mine to be calypso red

Y dont you have BMW badges on the rims?

I took them off and sprayed the caps silver to match the wheels.
I thought there's no point in doing all the work on the bonnet and boot without finishing the job
You like?

Engine looks sweet - Not feeling the rear lights though mate

if you keep the black/white colour code they looks to bollox in my opinion.

Looking absolutely mint and I definetly like the rear lights, just glad I have the pleasure of many journeys in this car, it's quick too .

Looks nice.

Not liking the Tech 1 skirts in black though. Not liking the black rear lights either. Not liking no badges in the wheels too. And I can never understand the de-badging of the boot, but leaving the cut-out in the spoiler there...

[flameproof jumpsuit on]

Call me boring, I know... but that's just my opinion. Apart from thsoe things, the car looks great!

Looking good Sparks...Not to sure about the lights or the skirts, but apart from that, it's looking good

Hmm funny story actually. The only time ive been pulled over is cus the feds thought i was a girl (cus i had long hair at the time) Cheeky bastards eh!

Im told that as long as the reflector can be seen when there is a light on it, its legel. Yet i wouldnt like to let a cop have a close look.

And Pal318is im well up for a meet. I went to my first the other day at south mimms, only stayed for a bit but it was cool.
