Styling ideas

[chisel]

Morning All

I’m new to the whole E30 but not to BM’s. Up until recently I had an E36 motorsport, it was an absolute minter until some little chavy C*********T decided to write it off. Anyway that left me with a bit of cash in my pocket and I’ve opted for an E30 325i Cab, it’s beautiful (pic on the link below) I got it off of one of the site members. Any how I got the car for a really good price, I’d seen one a few days earlier for top money £7k and it was mutton so for what I paid for this one I saved loads of money so am happy to spend a good few quid on her. Sounds will be going in over the next few wks but I’m looking for ideas as to what I can do with the styling. She’s wearing a genuine Mtec kit and I’m looking to enhance the look even more, only with genuine BMW gear no mikey mouse, two bob, Halfords special shite and am after a few recommendations from the forum, web links styling ideas, wheels suggestions etc.

Any help much appreciated. Cheers
Chisel

Nothing!
maybe loose the 18" pinas for something with a deep dish (bbs splits)

[chisel]

Lee you read my mind, they're going out the window straight away for exactly that a set of BBS splits.

with that attitude you will fit in nicely here

sorry to hear about your e36

car in the link looks awsome, worth every penny IMO

i would sell body parts for that interior

good luck with what ever you get

Alex, nice.

The cars sweet and such a good price. With wheels in mind I've got a friend of a friend sellin a set of 15" BBS rims, they are 4 stud (4x100) and written on the centre of the wheel is 8Jx15HS ET18 and they came off of MK2 Golf GTI, will they fit my 325i Cab???

[Alex]

they should do ive seen old golfs with bottle tops on, the bbs wheels i got sat in the garden when i baught them were listed as golf wheels although they had bmw stamped in them

[chisel]

Nice one Al, gonna cost a bag of sand but when they're on they'll look the nutts. If I manage to get them I'll post up some pics.

your car looks mint with those wheels! don't know why you'd want to change them,

really nice clean cab you have there and i would agree not to mess it up too much!!

things i have done to mine, all fairly low key and reversable are DIY smoked headlights - i wrote a how to http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/inde ... ked_Hellas

debadged the rear - i am writing an article but its easy

and i went for all red rear lights - but in your case that may not suit the local plod

i also got an old kidney grill and painted it black, it suits some cars and not others hence why i bought an old scrap one to try it, and i still have it on.

as for wheels i have a set of BBS RS splitties and a set of schnitzers (which i prefer but hard to come by) both 16x7

and a 40mm drop

pics..

They're not bad rims but they're miky mouse and 18" which are too big. They'll be up for grabs in a wk or two if I get these others so if you're interested let me know. All brand new with brand new tires.

Cheers for all the compents guys. Mr Lee, two lovely BM's there fella I like the cab and am a big fan of those rear lights. I wanna get the same for mine but after you said that I'm not sure if they'll suit the colour or not. The grills coming off at the wkend and being sprayed black which I recon looks heps.

Someone mentioned flared arches, what do you think?????

[mrLEE30]

only a small thing too but makes the cab look good with the roof down - read head rests



better view of the lights - note red indicators are illegal in UK so you could either partially paint red (look at the reverse light on an E34 and E39 and do the same with your indicator)
