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

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

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

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

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?

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 downImysE30 wrote:I've got an electric roof on mine, motors are not cheap![]()

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.
