I like! Minty fresh.

I'd do it the other way round. Lower it a little, find some decent wheels, then if you still want, get the kit. I prefer no kit.

Take good care of this one m8!
I would keep it 100% pure original.
But congrats, it's a beautiful example of how nice E30's cabbies can be :)

It looks a little tidier now as I replaced all the bumper mouldings and those little spring loaded flaps near the hood mechansim. There are a few little marks that are being touched up this week and then its' out with the Meguairs next weekend. I had a few people suggest that i should put the M-tech kit on it but the way I see it these cars are getting rare and maybe should be left as they left the factory.
