Was gonna find somewhere nice and scenic but Ive not been to bed yet so thought I'd best get a nap soon.

Having toy'd with the idea of detailing my car I looked at how much the stuff would be and it looked a small fortune and this guy I know was doing a detailing day and wanted to use my car for show.

Got it nice and cheap......Im really chuffed with the results.

Looking good!, the ///M-Parralel's do seem to suit the E30, you just can't beat a shine on a red car.

That could be right mate, will have been my wife. Not sure about Mirfield though, more likely any village on the back way from Huddersfield to Wakefield.

Cheers for the comments. Bollox, I was thinking about going back to standard if you fancy them.

Its so weird that the things that fellow E30 owners appreciate are the aspects of the car that people on other sites....Pistonheads call chav and sh*t.

Malc, that Hartge pipe is sh*t (according to Pistonheads forum members)
My alloys dont suit it.
The back lights are chav.

They are 18" M Parallels found on 5s,7s and 8s. Mine aren't staggered though.

I have been toying with the lights for a while now and thinking of going back to standard but I just walk up behind the car and love it....then dont like it, then love it, then dont like it.

Wow. Really brings out the Red. :wink:

Personally, i don't like the exhaust. Prefer twin slash cuts ala Milltek 8)
Lights work OK on a red car
Wheels. Not sure. my good friend Kev had Parallels on his cab.

Image

Worked on that, but for whatever reason I don't think they suit a red car. :? Maybe someone could "shop" the centres black with a silver lip :)

Just get a roll of black insulation tape. Be much cheaper 8) Also run the parallel line on the middle of the lights in tape as well.

And fix that boot lid so it sits straight when down.
