I currently have a standard e36 328i sport with the m3 body kit on minus the evo lip. i was just wondering how it would look in other peoples eyes if i done the following mods.

ACS mirrors, carbon evo lip spoiler, black kidney grill, slight window tints and may be angel eyes.

I'm just asking opinions because i don't want my car looking like a modified disaster.

To be honest, it would look like every other modded E36 you see rolling along, don't get me wrong not too much wrong with the E36 - I used to own one, then i saw the light :D

You will never get your money back when it comes to selling it, if anything it will be harder to sell...

The mods i have planned on doing can easily be taking back off and then sold separately therefore that is not really a problem

ACS mirrors, yeah - if they look similar to M3 mirrors and painted body colour. The standard mirrors are one of the things I think look badly proprtioned on the e36 and later e34s with similar mirrors.

I can't say I favour the boot spoiler. I'd bin it, but that's just me.

carbon evo lip spoiler, nah

black kidney grill, nah

slight window tints, mmmm maybe

angel eyes, nah

Get the silver silvatec bulbs for indicators as the orange bulb gives the indicator lens 'that fried egg look' and looks a bit homespun...

It's a good looking car and in my opinion (for what it's worth), further modification wouldn't improve the car's appearance. E36s can look so over the top with too much stuff on it.

nice mota
