Hi guys,
As I've never posted pics of my E30 I thought now would be a good time as I just gave her a wash. Let me know what you think.

Many thanks for the comments guys. Was thinking about what options I'd have for the carpet as it seems to be a horrible shade of grey. Think I'll pop down to Harrods and get some turkish rugs put in lol 
Just had the wheels fitted the other day as it had some 17's on there b4, I must admit that the car is sooooo much more nicer to drive, didn't realise how bad 17's can actually spoil the ride quality. Also just on the look out for a decent supension kit as at the mo its got Spax adjustable's on there which is good but a bit hard, and when on the softest setting can be a bit bouncy

Looks brilliant, the colour combination on the interior is fantastic! Just put a straight exhuast on it and it would be perfect IMO 
when you find a decent set of suspension, i'll buy these then!!?rallye_turtle wrote: Also just on the look out for a decent supension kit as at the mo its got Spax adjustable's on there which is good but a bit hard, and when on the softest setting can be a bit bouncy

I agree, that looks very, very nice!
Hey, those red leather interiors weren't standard were they?

They were an option when new but they dont look original to that car as there is no red carpet or red door pulls.greentouring wrote:I agree, that looks very, very nice!

Quite a nice looking sport there. Eyebrows are the only real poor point but its nice to hear of another sport that gone back to BBS from 17" BK's.rallye_turtle wrote:Many thanks for the comments guys.

Replace the spax tat with Bilstein B8 shocks and either eibach or H&R 35mm springs and this will transform the way the car handles and rides!

Again thanks for the comments guys. Just to answer a few questions:-
- The red leather interior was with the car when I bought it, but as mentioned wasn't factory issued with it as its got the horrible grey carpets.
- The tyres are 195/50/15 which are slighlty undersized but thats because I didn't want them looking too ballony. I think that they also make the ride a bit more crisp compared with the thicker tyres, might affect the speedo accuracy a little though
- The car is lowered 60/40 I think, I'd like to go lower but I dont think the car would be very practical as there are so many road hippos round my area
Future plans are to upgrade the suspension, a straight cut exhaust, and to give her a service very soon as theres only 1 green light left on the SI. Oh and to fix the passenger window as the motor keeps seizing

EDIT: Red carpet is available new from the dealers.

Red leather is pornographic. Lovely car you have there- just sort those carpets out 
I don't like this set-up Blitz. I think a 55 profile is better and fills the arch nicely.Blitz wrote:I would recommend at least 205/50/15.
