Ive been thinking about doing this ever since i bought the touring , now i have mot'ed it and im seriously looking into doing it as my car is solid all round and bit of serface rust wont hurt for a couple of years! I know enthusiasts (cant spell sorry) on here wont think much to idea but fook em lol I just have to convince the mrs!

I think this would look class on a Touring! I can hear the belt sander calling, may just do bonnet and see how it looks!

hmmm, why don't you do the matt black rattle can thing instead? That definitely looks good on a touring.

Rat look looks quite cool on an old '50s Yank or early VW Beetle/Bus or similar, but doesn't really suit the 80's Yuppie image of a BMW E30 imho.
