any photos of the front bumper? where did you get the kit and the lambo door hinges?
I like it but cant help but think some proper wide wheels would look better on it

To be honest it's not really to my taste. As long as you like it then that's what counts.

just a thought, are the side skirts on the wrong way, isn't the little bend/recess in the centre meant to get deeper towards the rear of the car like on the car in my sig? or is it just the pictures :?

I like the lambo doors but jesus the guy who painted it must have been blind cos i've never seen anyone spray over the bump strips and the door locks.

Roughly translated as "I only like Tech 1 and Tech 2" I think, Si...

No reason why people shouldn't have other bodykits though. It would be a boring showfield if everyone's car looked the same.

i agree to some extent...
i mean my BBS bodykit is fine, and it's not a tech 1 or tech 2.... a think something different is okay, as long as it follows the cars character or shape.

Jim if your happy thats all that matters.
Imo those rear bumpers are to big for the e30 but i think the front look ok.
Hope you can make it to a future Scottish meet i would like to see it in the metal.
Hats of to you for being different from the norm.

Not personally abusive agreed, but rudeness is not necessary. If you don't like it, fine, but you don't have to be bitchy about it.
Re-read tristan325i, barryj, Flozman's comment on the paint, pete-m, blaktoutbm, and clig on the other page Fuzzy.
I was just asking for a bit more diplomacy, that's all. Obviously doesn't exist on here.
Oh well...
