filthy and getting used every day but i thought i'd see what you lot think of my new 'is' splitter?

I think it finishes it off a treat and will be the sum total of all spoilerage ever to be placed on the car by me, unless i build a M3/touring. All or nothing! :D

Looks awesome, how do you live with it being so low!?!?!? I struggle getting around with 40mm drops.

cheers gents :D
the smoked lights dont show up too well in that pic but they do better on my sig pic below :cool:

it's about where i want i looks wise now. simple, mean and not fussy. :D
the touring is my favorite E30 body type and could only be bettered in my eyes by a 'M3' touring :cool:

i don't have many problems getting about at all. even though there are horrid 'bus bumps' on lots of roads round here, it clears them fine. my suspension is hard enough for it not to drop much further :D the only places i have problems are the long curved speed humps, if hit them too fast as the rear picks up and can throw the front down hard. easy to detour round though. oh and the little rubber ones in car parks can sometimes catch on the backs of the wishbones and exhaust :D it gets into multi storey car parks ok though.

the 'is' spoiler has taken a few scrapes when i've forgotten about it but it's 20 years old so who cares! :D

it does look low but it never bottoms out and is totally stable at speed on 'real' roads

My E30 looks like a stripped out shell, in primer ready for its repaint in the weeks to come, had a major resto in the last 16 months

Alpine white 2 , 2 door C2 2.7. Non sunroof.

Been a long time coming, not driven her for 2 years easily !

You're doing my dream E30 engine transplant! That's the 5 litre V8 from the E39 M5, right?
