Looks like a lot of work has gone into that! Where did you get the bonnet bra from? I agree, they look good... on E30s at least.

There were a few Baur IS, but no cabby.

I think the car looks great (bar the skirts). The wheels a very nice.

Offset 0 on the wheels.... Now that's what I call a dish!

Really like the car mate good to see someone do something a bit different.

IS is a good little engine, ideal for a daily driver with enough poke to make things interesting when you're in the mood to push on.

Looks good mate, far better with those wheels than the ones in your sig! How far out the arches do they stick then mate?

I remember we spoke with ross and he said to ask someone else who has a proper rolling machine that he knew, not had the chance to get hold of them yet.
There is always the Alpina way! Heat gun and a mallet just tap it gently, that how mine were done on my 1st 2.5 and how richard did all his turbo technics xr4x4's didnt break the paint on any of them

only way to roll your arches, i done mine this way with a few mates sitting on the boot lid and then drove it backwards and forwards with the bar in the arch.
