[marcp1987]

Hello, been around since febuary ish time now, and this is the first picture I have shown, was taken on saturday outside work with its new IS lip and mims, starting to look how I want it now..



Opinions?

Thanks!

Edit... For I are retard.

[bigdw]

i want an IS, and a black one, so im jealous looking good tho, any plans for it?

[marcp1987]

Just keep it, tidy it. Doing the timing bits this weekend, then I want a LSD next, eventually a respray in the same colour just to tidy it. Mims need a refurb, nothing too wild really, personally BMW got it almost spot on from the start.

I'll get some more pics.

Cheers!

Mims just look so right on an E30

[love30]

smoked indicators, repeaters and german plates will finish the car i reckon...

[THE_GODFATHER]

nice, wanna c the finished product!!!!!

[marcp1987]

Gash!! Just turned down my mates smoked lenses as I thought everyone did it!

Want to tint the main beams yellow though... but dont know if I should.

Done the german plate thing on my old Mk2 Golf, got fed up of the fuzz, they look so right but dont know if I can botherd with the hassle.

I need to get more pics. Atm its sat on the drive mid way through timing gear replacement!

just fitted se side skirts to my iS. makes the sills look sooooo much better! p.s. an isle-of-wight registered car by the look of it, so gently treated at first?

dont worry mate, very common on these old boats and a fairly simple fix.

looks good mate.

[marcp1987]

Found more pics earlier, the rust is now sorted, ended up making plates and patching both front footwells, but have lost the pictures I took with my old phone.

Anyway, more pics, one recent, most of the others from earlier this year.







A trip to Kent with the woman,









Need some new pictures really.

[leeparkes]

where's the mims gone?

[capri_rob]

Looks great on the MIMs

[adit]

marc! you're not allowed to have your fog lights on in non-foggy conditions (if at all!). it's against e30zone law. hold your breath and wait for the flak! march109?

p.s. nice car btw. good to see another cherished E30 iS on the road.

[marcp1987]

Its the first time I have ever switched them on, I swear!

The mims are on it now, sorry got confusing, the pics with the BBS's are from aaaaaaaaaages back when I first got the car, almost a year ago.

I'll try take new pics soon beacuse the interior is slightly different too now and stuff.

Collecting its new engine tomorrow (another M42), once thats in and settled, its whats next, ARB kit or some bucket seats perhaps. can never seem to get totally comfortable in the sports seats tbh.

[marcp1987]

Riiiight, my friend sent me some pictures he took a few weeks ago, the car is filthy but we didnt plan on taking pictures, just happend.

Many thanks to teh DRRRRR for taking them, and bringing pimpy along for fun.

Whoops..

[bmwowner]

[blackcountrybimmerman]

Liking the lip spoiler and the old skool wheels.
