I'm pretty sure I'm doing the car the justice it deserves by making it more stealthy :P

A few pictures of my little E30 taken a few days ago when we had a bit of sunshine :)

ooooh look at the dirty baurness. Not keen on the look of the car with the back section of the roof down but its all good with the targa section out! :)

interiors next on the list for some love. Might try to get a proper sport leather interior or I might get some leather dye treatment and give the seats a good going over?

I'm sure it will look a lot better when you had a cover for the foltdown section.

That looks superb, One of the best M3 replicas I have seen done.

I'd say cloth recaro interior or sport leather would look good.

thanks for the comments, as always they are appreciated.

Plans for the future include getting the front to sit a little bit lower. It sits about 20mm off the front wheels give or take where as the back is about 5mm lol.

I also have the spoiler to trial fit to see if its something I'm going to put back on or leave off.

After that bar the interior who knows. I'm not sure there is much else I want or need to do to it really?
