Now that's how a E30 cab should look. Very tidy car. though I could mention some improvements:

the kidneys should allways be chrome, don't mess with them.

There are indicatorbulbs out there that do not look orange when turned off.

And what's that hanging of the the rear towing hook, have you been towing anything lately?

But overall tidy machine. Love the fact that your fitting a Hartge exhaust that just proof of seriously enthusiatic owner.

[Jhonno]

Looks great! What coilovers are you running?

[SilverShadow]

Nice car either way!

No not a Hartge/Birds built car, I have just sourced the parts over the years- All the engine work was done by my self with help from the zone.

The car originaly had m20 b20 in it.

Thanks for all your comments guys!

Very nice, Hartge Kit for your chrome wrongness?.

Thanks for your opinions:

Its just been recently that i have changed the kidneys while fitting that front badge. Still indecisive. (still have the chrome ones in the garage).

Im thinking of changing all the lenses back to orange once the rear Hartge spoiler goes on and the side stripes.

Oh that black thing, thats just a old 80's "Holy Smoke" thing

[dips346]

Spot. On.

What's the full spec on the Hartge motor - similar to the Alpina 2.7?
