I'm still not 100% sold on it yet. It needed a rear valance, but it now makes the SE skirts look small. :?

Lee, get bodging. Once the bumper is off, the valance sits really tight against the back panel. Then putting the bumper back on, more than secures it. Getting the bumper secure is the biggest challenge/biggest bodge. What does the front of yours look like?

Looks good, definately an improvment over standard. I was dubious when you first mentioned it but it sits nice :thumb:

I like it - the SE sideskirts and Tech 1 rear spoiler look great. Could do with some front fogs........

As I am too thick to do indooviduaaal quotes:

Lee - I was going to post a picture of a hairy arse, but I got rather scared after a google search 8O :puke:

Bob - Its remaining at 4x4 spec at the front :eek: I just can't be arsed with having to go 1mph over speed bumps like in the 205.

Ollie - You are a 16 year old chrome lover, so your opinion is not valid :D And it was also left in reverse 8O

Dan - You can say you hate it, you cock :)

Rob - i have HID's so no need other than asthetics for them. If you hadn't guessed it doesn't get a huge amount of money spent on it(ie fogs)

Jon you scumbag, if i hated it I would have said.. I just don't think I am a fan, I reckon it needs different skirts and front valance to work properly.. :)

looks good jon. what how did you do it in the end fit it and fill the holes or did you try what we talked about at oxford.
started repairing my breyton front valance at the weekend. so i will be sending it off to be painted soon but want to know weather to fill the holes in the rear.

any one know if breyton actualy made side skirts?

as i have only seen 3 e30,s with this kit and none had side skirts.
i think tech 2 sides and pods are in order.

the front is an arsehole to fit ask Dan318iS he bought the front one i had and found it tough going! So i don't imgine the side skirts will be simple. I expcet the windscreen sealer will have to come out!

Like that a lot, Looks better in the dark colour on your car, but better on the shape of a touring if you see what I mean?

So in Essence I recon it would look best on a dark coloured touring.......but still looks good

that's why I eventually chucked my sideskirts (unfortunate result of indiscrimate clearout..) fitting would have involved blending into the rear quarter & screwing, yes screwing into the step part of the sill iirc

the whole thing way ugly for my liking, but does finsh the lines & compliment the rear.

Anyhoo, behold council circa 2004.. you have been warned.

It was a £250 car for good reason - I'd never seen a rust tear from the pass side loom hole to the floor pan ever before :clin: ..it was finding that which started to give clues as to the nsf camber (as you can see)

The whole thing was horrific, but a legendary rapid 2.5.. comfort seats with half the foam out, manual steering, manual windows & roof, zero weight but no damping - anywhere winkeye

This was my second e30 and I miss her :cry:
