Now my 318is cabby almost done

[Baz666]

Got this bbs kit throught i would size it up today before the car gose`s off for under sealling, new back arches, new wing fitted and a few other things + full respray.

what do you think ??

[gooner1]

Not too sure about the front valance tbh, but the rest is fine. Do like the rear though. Compliments the wheels imho.

[E30BeemerLad]

don't fit the boot spoiler

[Baz666]

thanks for your comments.

but whats the reason for the spoiler.

[FlappySocks]

Just looks wrong on a cab IMO.

[liam012]

fair play thats gonna look cracking when sprayed.
i would keep the rubbing strips on the bumpers and sides of car to oem black myself,
be sure to post up some after pics!

thanks for that fella yeah my throughts too keep them black, just to break it up a bit from the red ya.

[BigBavarian]

It looks good mate, not sure about the rear spolier though. Cabby's look the nuts with out them

[JGG1]

^^^^^^ Have to agree, cabs look a lot better without the boot spoiler

[Levie]

wow best bodykit ever!!!
but then i might be a little on the biased side of things...
it's good you could pick up one of these rare kitz... they can look the shiz

normally im not a huge fan of uneccessary badging... but i like that E30 badge

[E30zone325I]

Looks good..Zender's front spoiler for post facelift cars looks just like it.
I say get a Mtech 1 rear decklid spoiler.
The Mtech 2 looks out of place on a vert...then again verts look best with no spoiler and no trunk 3rd brake light.

[DavieP]

Whatever anyone says, it's your car and your pride and joy so do as you will. Personally I'm not sure about those skirts - they don't quite follow on from the front and rear, but once they're sprayed in they'll probably look OK. However, Im convinced that Tech2 rear spoiler will ruin what would otherwise be a very handsome rear end. It's pig ugly on a saloon, but a disaster on the cabbie. If you must, go Tech1, which is at least subtle, but better still leave it as BMW intended. Great colour Baz it will look stunning when finished. Look forward to seeing the pics.

[Levie]

DavieP... yea he's missing the side skirtz...

[Baz666]

thanks guys for your throughts.

but the bbs kit might have to come off as i didnt aloaw for the exhurst its melted the back valance abit and also out of shape.


As for the spoiler......sorry guys i hear what your saying but its going to have to stay..... unless it bugs someone that much they would like to give me an tech-1 one.

[Rav335uk]

Loose the spoiler and get a tech one for smoother flowing lines.

[tha_lick]

if it was mine, id use SE side skirts and use just the bottom part of the tech 2 spoiler. . . but it aint! keep up the good work mate, looking foward to seeing it painted

[bmwbreaker]

that spoiler doesnt work for me so I'm with the no spoiler brigade on this one! Not sure on the skirts either really but the front and back bumpers work well

[BigBavarian]

Barry, looks good, good to see you the other friday, lose the grille though, i'll give you a proper one. mdf has no place on an e30's body!

[JayB]

looks nice mate tec1 spoiler though. Were did you get the kit from. I want the front valance!

[Baz666]

just a few more pic of things done this month.

first one went out and got myself a new-ish roof, from them essex boys BigBavarian were you can buy all your e30 parts from






also striped out my boot as it was leaking from some where, was very pleased to find out how good it was under all the carpet side panals.







only had one little hole,





so then while i had it all out i throught i would tread with panalseal.





so thats whats been done this month, so because of all my hard work I had a week in cos-der-del clacton essex kept my eyes open for e30`s and only saw this one.

[StuBeeDoo]

don't fit the boot spoiler

+1

+ another 1. The only spoilers that look right on a cab. are the SE one or the MTech1.

[Baz666]

thanks for your input fella,


sorry but the spoiler is staying, yes they do look good with out one but i love the tech 2 spoiler on tin top or cabby.

[BigBavarian]

Roof looks good barry, once the whole car is painted then im sure the spoiler will look ok.

End of the day its personal preference!

Im sure that ive seen that car in and around clacton and colchester before.

Will we be seeing you at the bbq on friday barry?

now she`s all tooked away in a container at work were i can strip her down.



more pictures to follow //( '.' )\\

[Ziggy]

Front and rear skirts look ace, side skirts not so much... & as for the spoiler, well it's your car I guess! But FWIW I had a tech 2 on my car when I got it - it did not stay for long. They look terrible on convertibles IMO.

[BigBavarian]

Looking good mate, its horrible seeing them in that state but when its done its well worth it. Grills look good mate what colour did you do them?
Andy

[Baz666]

just had them done in a satin black but they came out more of a gloss black with a hight shine to them still look good tho

[Baz666]

picked up car on friday the guys done an excellent job.
















loads of filling to do now.

[BigBavarian]

Is that a complete scuttle thats been welded in? Looks like they made a good job of it. Have fun with the rest of the prep work mate..

[chicozoo17]

Nice job man! does any one know where i can find a bbs front spoiler like that, real or rep. I got the skirts, all i need is the front.

[Baz666]

Sorry fella i dont but if your side shirks are genuine bbs and you would like to sell them let me know.

[Baz666]
