My new 325i SE MoreDoor

This is my new 325i SE MoreDoor that I acquired as a bit of a project. Not too sure where to start and would really like everyone’s opinions on what to do to bring it up to spec... Nothing too crazy, I just want to roll round in something OLD SKOOL COOL.

Get a f* grip,we are talking about 20+yr.old sub £10k cars here,NOT the crown jewels!
It aint too bad underneath, it's had new rear arches and font wings, all the break pipes and fuel lines are new too...
New front valance is on it's way... Not sure what to do with the rear valance its quite a big job to fit a new one isn't it?

It does doesn't it! As Josh said get down to halfrauds!
If it's an SE, it probably would have had the colour coded side skirts, and a lot had the 'iS' lip as an option, also usually colour coded. Frankly either way is reasonably 'stock'. Not sure any came from the factory with the whole of the bumpers colour-coded, so stock would be having the centre sections bare plastic as in Ollie's photoshop. I'd be tempted to serve up the BKs on ebay and get some 15"BBS, but sorting the rust is the first job.
