I like them!!! Not council, as they don't stick out like a sore thumb, in my opinion..

Although I do agree with others saying that they should be matt black..

I like the one on daryls m3!! have you got a pic of the whole of it??

I think they look good only if painted matt black.

They were fitted by the PO of my car and I wasn't totally sure about them at the start and considered taking them off but they've kinda grown on me. The make the car look that little bit different.

Grille looks pretty decent, shame about bumper though.

i like the kidney grill but as i always say each to there own. i think it would look different with a m tech bumper might not be as in your face if that makes sense ?

I like that, a lot.

but I think you should spend another 10 hours and bring the bonnet down to a straight edge (where the kidneys were) and fill the recess in the lower panel (where the kidneys were again)

or spend an hour to take the bumper off and spray the valance black,it will look much better.

That looks very cool! 8)

I think that wouldn't have worked without the unibrow though, so I'd have to say those brows were cool....but I don't like them on normal E30s....

I'm not a fan of the front kit though, imagine it with an alpina /is splitter....very old school muscle! I'm feeling inspired to take on a frankly ludicrous project now.....

Wasn't going to use the ones I bought but after test fitting them the other day I quite like the look - especially in black to match factory rear boot lip spoiler

E30's already have eyebrows. Why do they need big bushy ones on top?
