A friend of mine had an F reg 325i 2dr that we turned into a sport rep. We added the full body kit, shaddowline trim, beige sport leather, tech 2 wheel, rear blind etc etc and a full repaint. It had M tech suspesion from new. Last summer he sold it for £3k on pistonheads after advertising it on here when people said it was over priced! Sadly i have no pics.

I also fragged this malashite 2dr.

I have a 2 door malachite green one.

So far spent 6 months looking high and low for a passenger side wing and door and still no luck. So i'd say its a rarish colour.

I'll get some pics up soon when i wind the coilys down finally

Guys get on the phone to Aldershot car spares. Most of the turds they get in are complete cars which are usually quite tidy. Its on the racking but it won't hang around long before its cubed and pillaged. E30 stuff goes quick round these parts!

They have photos on their website, under breaking for parts section
