Nice! is that the same place as Johnno's e36 shoot?

Think smoked headlights would be a plan?

To be honest, that is as good as iS's get! i admire this car and i don't think you have much to do, but if you do have the money a set of smoked headlights would look class.

Very nice motor. :cool:

I doubt it, just a local empty industrial unit not to far from where I live.
I have been thinking about smoked headlights, could be the finishing touch. :)

Smoked hellas have got to be the only way you could improve on what you've got there.

I'm not a big fan of de-chromed kidney grills but they suit your car to the ground!

A work of art :D

It is suprisingly ok to drive with the 9j's all round. With the difference in offset the track is alot wider so the car feels really planted. The car is lowered 60mm all round.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm definately going to do the smoked headlights :thumb:

Hi Dave, where did you buy your headlights from? Or are they a DIY job?

Ebay mate, got them off a guy from Germany. They are the real deal, not been able to compare them to some home made jobbies yet though.

I like the stance very much! The rear gaurds hovering over the rims

1). What suspension setup are you running?
2). Rim & tire size?
