lol..how yer doing,guess you know me from WW2ol? :)

as for the skirts,well im in the process of styling here but not to sure what route to go,if i go for a m-tech kit with door panels too,i think i will have to lose these skirts and put a diff set on as i think the panels wont fit with these on?

cheers

Not done yet m8...should all be finished by Sat/Sun evening..

Pics will Follow ASAP..

Yea kit was a bit easier than what i thought Nav...everything goes on nice from what ive tested..allthough im going the proper way and using lil plastic rivets as apposed to just self taping it everywhere..

only thing i got to do is drill some 10mm ish holes on the orig body to take the white clips on top of the front spolier..the holes werent there,so im doping my own,dont have to,there are outher ways to do it quicker but im drilling,rust protecting them,primer then ready for the respray on SAT..

TBH the only place im using self taping screws will be on the bottom of the front spoiler,they would orig of had plastic rivets too but dont seem to have alot of room for them and i want a good fix there so screws will do.

Guys,im warning yer now..i got m-tech badges on the grill and Boot (debadged and on the driver side)..

IM OFFICIALY A WANNABE M-TECH OWNER..if i had the money i would sort it out as much as i could..

things i think warrants my behaviour:

M-tech steering wheel
M-tech Gear nob
M-tech Seat badges ..not fitted due to them looking shyte and made of plastic..so i wear them on my body whilst driving..
M-tech Dials
M-tech Door Cills Protectors
M-tech2 Body Kit

Dont be mad.. :D

BTW...im pretty new to the E30 thing..tell me pls.

They do a M- CAB right,the motorsport?....what is the difference in running gear and engine..

Also..what is the difference between mine and a Sport Model Engine and running gear....apart from the engine looking alot better

engine wise all is the same between a normal cab and motorsport, running gear is also the same only i think the motorsports are a bit lower than the normal cabs.

it's just like a 325 sport and non sport not much difference just (almost) all the availeble options, and offcourse the name "motorsport"

interior is different motorsport has very rare bubble leather (look at andy e30's cab) not sure if it was standard or an option tho

That surprises me...so you get wider arches on a Motorsport CAB and diff interior..maybe a bit lower and they go for stupid money...

that cant be right..can it?

UPDATE:

Front bumper reacted to the paint (what a surprise) like a mofo!

Rear bumper got a lil touch on it too..going back in Sat evening hopefully to get both of these problems sorted..then Sunday its polishing,getting rid of any runs..

At the moment i still got my Orig front bumper on which i cant fix as you cant get to the star bolts with the NEW front spolier on 8O

Ahead slow!!

Very slow..

But from whats been done..she is a looker and i know:
:ttiwwp:

.... but your have to wait... :)
