I want my car to look like yours have you spent much onit ??

[sweep]

[Dave_M3]

the above and coded bumpers to make it look like an iS...

I wouldn't though as the black bumpers with some other black bits like the mirrors and brake vents and a lip in black with smoked headlights can look very very cool.


For 200 quid, you have done extremly well for yourself!!!
My iS was bought for nearly 10 times that

I also fitted a black boot with tech 2 spoiler the other day going to get pictures laoded up soon to see what you people think i have had some comments of it lookin lik a taxi im so two minded

[Alex]

white bonnet and boot would look better ?? no?

then if you have funds, colour coded bumpers but dont paint the whole thing it looks terrible

[sweep]

Sell it too me for a profit

[ImysE30]

I'd fit a black one but without a spoiler for the cleanish look

[brewer]

Sell it too me for a profit

how much lol

[sweep]

A small profit on top of what you got it for..

[brewer]

Its not tht pal there is alot more to this car than people think it had a hell of alot of work on it allready theres lots of parts suck as bigger brakes 51 mm struts eibech suspention and everything which i have inhereted so probs wouldnt do it worth a tty tho

[Dave_M3]

Yep, black and white looks very cool on an E30 but white bonnet and don't do the chequred roof!!!

Christ, Alex you really are abit anal

[Alex]

Not the first time ive heard that dave

i can carry on with the list if you like

[commando]

Yeah good luck dude, all that graft will pay dividends

[Dave_M3]

I wouldn't be keen on the black bonnet and boot or a Tec 2 spoiler without the rest of the kit to be honest.

Black bonnets and boots only work on track cars in my oppinion when they are either carbon fiber or grp as well as a non-reflective colour on the bonnet is better for racing (Not that we get much sunlight anyway!!!)


Black iS lip, brake ducts, wing mirrors, bumpers, shadowline trim and Tec 1 spoiler on otherwise white car FTW

[rh306]

Ronal Turbos would look

[brewer]

Thankyou for the input allready given guys I think ive made my mind up im going back to all black and white bonnet and bootlid too
