Making shit shine......

[eko]

Who said you cant polish a turd

Had nothing to do today so decided to give the old bus a bit of a makeover.

Opinions welcome

[gooner1]

That don't look like a turd to me Tony, engine install looks very tidy.

[aj_mckay]

Very nice. The only thing I'd consider if it was mine is a spoiler on the boot - maybe the standard lip one like you get on the iS or even a Tech-1 one?? Lovely looking car though!

[fuzzy]

you can polish a turd but at the end of the day what you have is still a turd but just a bit shinier.
only joking. it looks very nice.

[d6dph]

That is a cracking car Tony, You have very good taste. I've enjoyed seeing pictures of all of your cars, Always modified so tastefully.

[capri_rob]

Mate thats a beauty !

The extra dials in the centre console are - did you liberate them from an Audi ?

Don't change a thing - car looks

[capri_rob]

Is that a 2.8 Lump As well ? - Bet it shifts !

[e30topless]

simple mods, clean lines, great engine, awesome colour with nice wheels ! I love it looks great I wouldn't change a thing

[Jon_Bmw]

Great car and a great conversion.

I am still not certain what I think looks best in terms of a rear spoiler. I love my new tech 1 spoiler though

Keeping the chrome round the windows as well Tony?

[E30BeemerLad]

looks superb mate, all the right morsels. Nice subtle OEM styling and of course a nice mill under the bonnet.

Defo does not need a rear spoiler

[shane325i]

I love this car,think the window chrome should be binned tho

[eko]

No rear spoiler is going on it,not in my ownership anyway
Thing is if I put a Tec1 rear spoiler on(only option) then id have to fit the SE skirts and dechrome it too to make it all blend together.
Then it would just look like 75% of others on here.

Wheels will be removed in the next couple of weeks and either sold to Benjy for his touring or put on here/Ebay.
Fancy a set of deepdish all round if budget allows or maybe even a set of Porsche wheels with some adaptors,not to everyones taste I know but thats what its all about innit

turd

looks

your air con switch is in wrong place

[eko]

Shane ive thought about the window chrome many times but it goes with the 316 heritage(and boot badge if and when I fit it).

Alex,the aircon switch is now an electric fan switch

[hubble]

Very nice and understated. 16" Alpinas too?

dyed black carpets look good too that will be one my first mods on me next e30

Yes genuine 16`s mate,even got the wider rears too.
Not the tidiest condition though

Fair enough - I see your point and it does have a very distinct look about it the way you have it now, good on you - very nice car!

[DanThe]

Nice one mate

[Felix79]

I really like the black with the Alpina rims , it's a really nice contrast

[toby]

One of my very favourite cars on here! Keep up the good work Tony. When are the new (repeater-less) front wings going on then?

The wheels look schmoove. Wouldn't it better to just get them refurbed?

[E30BeemerLad]

Ever thought about a set of renault clio turbines Tony?

[e30owner]

Try Porsche D90's or 928's I've wanted to do that myself. wounder how'd it look.

[OBs]

When are the new (repeater-less) front wings going on then?

Ive got to pull my finger out and get them sorted for him Toby... Will look miles better

I really like the look of this car mate.
Its about time you treated the 'weapon' to some new plates Tony

[eko]

Porsche D90 are what I had in mind to be honest

Pressed ali in Black/Silver

[bss325i]

Looking good Tony!

[oguz327]

Looks wicked Tony, very nice!

[Jindmahi]

The car looks very sharp! its nice to see subtle styling once in a while...looks good..

I like it fella the Alpina's are just ultra

8x16's on the rear too hey. Now your just showing off

I promise one day (Are you listening Barry) I will have me a brand new set of these rims, then when I realised how much I've spent will go and have myself a lobotomy

[cliffybabe]

Tony she is a beaut i think its one of the nicest E30's on here it is so sleek and simple with all the toys and mods to make it even better and with a sleeper of a engine too congrats

off topic how hard was it to fit the car up with the 3 extra gause a mod im interest in cos u can get chrome rings for the dials

[eko]

To tell you the truth Neil I not really keen on the dials where they are.
I want the Hartge type pod but cant find them for righthand drive.Snoops has got the one in his but despite me hounding him he wont sell
Only the volt metre and backlights are working at the moment as ive not had chane to look into the relevent senders/fittings for the other two.

[Jhonno]

Kos had a template or actual holders made up if I am thinking of the right thing..

[shedrool83]

Thats looks the business tony

I think it was one of Kos's holders he bought...
