[Rav335uk]

Yep I know, i spend alot of time in Cov, most of my mates are from there, and I hardly see and E30's at all.

[FMH]

My wheels, will be refurbed right at the end of the project:

[/// KAMI]

Looking good...keep the pics coming

[FMH]

Ok, let me go take some... Be back in a while

[ImysE30]

Looks like Style 5's are flavour of the month

[FMH]

Sorry for low quality pics, just tempted to show off the bits:

MINT manual roof:



MINT smaller tech 2 wheel:


Front bumper, the rest of the kit is locked away with the car, so pics of that later:

True say but its a good thing, the wheels set of any e30.
Mines should look something special once they refurbed

They do look good, one of the best wheels if you go 5 stud

Nice carpet btw

Either style 5's or the E36 contour's. Suit the E30

[FMH]

P.S. The roof will be a temp, till i save up for the red one

Agree with that

Red roof will look very nice with the red leather

Surely.

If not, keep the roof black, light smoke tints all round, matt black around the screen.

Looks good mate...what colour centres are you planning on getting?

gold centres, polished lip, gold studs

Not sure about tints on a E30 cab tbh, red roofs are available

[FMH]

They burn a hole in your pocket, and they don't look like a genuine roof. The screen is bigger iirc, look a bit odd

[ImysE30]

DaveD has one on his cabby, never seen one in the flesh, might be able to dye a roof

I posted a topic in regards to dying a roof, not got much response

[Rav335uk]

I don't think you can

[FMH]

badboy007 has a red hood on his calypso cab, the screen looks a bit funny.

[ImysE30]

DaveD:



Screen does look a bit bigger but i like it

[FMH]

Not feeling the bigger screen, altough its a zip in, its £220.

[ImysE30]

£220 just for the screen? Less than £100 on eBay

[FMH]

Just a snap of the evo set up, DIY job, painting the calipers and wishbones



315mm compared to 260mm standard e30's. NICE

[/// KAMI]

Looking good mate.....you going to do blue calipers?

[FMH]

Looking good mate.....you going to do blue calipers?

they were blue when i got them, changing them to red before i fit them

Looking good mate, a bit like my project.

Im respraying mine in Black with cream leather interior. Has the black roof.
Smoked rear lights,
CCFL Halos and HID's on the front.
Aplina Wheels (need to get these refurbed)
then the Sound system/speakers etc.

Pics to follow shortly. Car was delivered last week. Need to start stripping it.

Finally will try to convert the roof to electric. Has this been done before by anyone?

Not worth it IMO, i have another cab, with electric roof, when they f*ck up, they'l f*ck you up pocket wise.

[ImysE30]

I've got an electric roof on mine, motors are not cheap

I've never used a manual but it it can't be that time consuming can it?

I don't really know, this is my first cab with manual roof. I'm sure its not much of a mission, push the roof up, pull the lever in the rear quarter, lift the horse shoe, fold the roof in, put the horse shoe down

Sounds good, but don't fit the Halo's, look sh*t i think

[Faz2kool]

Thats why im going for them again.

[Faz2kool]

[FMH]

Dye from black to red

[Faz2kool]

Youll have to send some pics of it before an after as i might do that to mine. Cream's not in very good condition.
