my local club founder, Frankie, and I met up last night and had our run of Crane's Roost in Altamonte Springs, FL........ here are a few samples that have been resized......
These are very low res versions that do not do the pics any justice. They are currently undergoing retouching...... I will post those once they are done....
This is one he very did real quick whil ewe were uploading pics.....
I just cant' wait till Frankie gets done with them......

I am also looking for opinions as to what to do next with this car. While I do not plan on modding it out, I do want to do such things like the Euro Smilies. Any other good ideas for OEM stuff?

car looks cool, i see you got the airbag fitted model, do have to renew those?
And for my humble opinion, how about you smoke the front and side indicators, make the rears all red, and lower her abit say 40mm.
cheers

the rear deck lid doesn't need adjusting, it needs to be latched!!!
It's a power top that was converted (rod's disconnected) to a manual top after it quit working by the previous owner. This means that there is no way to actually lock down the top cover. I recently bought a manual top cabrio with all the latches, handles, etc.... I am in the process of finding out if all that would bolt right in. Do you know by chance?
As far as smoking the corners, I agree. I would like to black those out and also put the smoked front parking lights in with the amber bulbs. I do plan on either smoking the tails or just going all red.
Not sure if I want to lower it. I want to keep it mechanically as stock as possible. It;s already a rare E30 due to being a 1993. I plan on keeping this car for a VERY LONG time. Hopefully, one day, it will start to increase in value.

I was actually born in Savannah and lived there until I was about 12. Still have tons of family there. In fact, I will be up in December just before christmas. Ever seen a Chu's gas station or store? That's my uncle....

not sure if I follow what you are saying? Are you saying I should remove the third brake light?
Did you mean to say.....
"You have the third brake light on the boot lid. I don't like it. I never have."
I actually love the third brake light.

I dont like the third brake but other than that it looks very clean. Think about lowering it, you can always put the oem springs back in later if you want. oh one last thing maybe a front splitter either standard or iS, thats your call!!! I would go for an iS splitter then it would look sweet.
