Thanks chap, I think so too! Nagaro silver BBS's next?? I do have the tech 1 spoiler to go on too.

[dazleeds]

MMMM THATS NICE

[ImysE30]

Looks stunning




I think the standard silver looks good tbh

[SimonBlythe]

I think you maybe right. Thanks for putting proper size pics up, I don't know how to do it

[Ollie_bwoii]

The tyres ruin that car imo, they need to be a higher profile.

Other than that it is rather tasty.

[SimonBlythe]

That is a very good point, I knew something wasn't quite as good as it could be. What size do you suggest? I have noticed a tech 2 on the for sale thread and it does seem to sit better.

[bss325i]

It needs 205/55R15, the original size.

It also needs a chrome kidney grill, orange indicators and side repeaters, UK plates and a tech 1 rear spoiler.

Then it will be back to standard.

[gooner1]

Could,nt agree more re Grill, black is so passe.
Very nice looking car though.

+1

it looks great

[dano0]

also needs the front wipers replacing or the the wipe stops removing and lose the m// badge but it looks other wise

tech 1,s rule

[SimonBlythe]

As I said guys NEARLY there The spoiler needs spraying, I have a grill and I will buy the indicators however, as the car is in the UK and I don't live there at present it isn't so easy to do. Be patient guys she will soon be as she left the factory.

[bss325i]

Good call!

[mabz]

awesome car mate well done.i think it looks better with lower profile tyres after all its an e30 not a tractor

[gaszman]

this is mine wheels need a referb

[jaymos]

i think i see a dead fly stuck in the grille, i wont like this car until its removed

[Falkster]

There's nothing like nit picking, the car looks awesome mate. Tech 1 beats all, best bodykit, best rear spoiler, they're just the dogs danglies!

[SimonBlythe]

I agree the tech 1 does beat all. It is good (depending on your point of view) that they are becoming a rare breed, if posts on here are to be believed they are as rare as the Audi RS2 I used to have! I toyed with selling and getting a tech 2 but decided against it, I think a manifold and possibly a BBTB may just finish her off nicely.

[gaszman]

the m badge was a dealer fit from new on delivery sheet so it stays

[adit]

no it wasn't! that's not standard!!!

[SimonBlythe]

A few more pics including the day I picked her up!

Wow love the Crown Jewels. Tech1 is delicious!

[oakey]

I remember this being for sale for strong money. Got job on returning back to the BBS. Looks like a very clean tech1.
How much did you buy it for if you don't mind me asking?

[SimonBlythe]

£2800, it has had a full restoration ie new rear arch and back panel and all rust cut out then a full respray so I new it was solid. I put the standard springs and wheels back on also a hew driver's bolster, I have put the fire bottle in too and recaro badges in the seats. I will put a manifold on and get most of the running gear and subframes re-finished. I would like a genuine Alpina one day but hey wouldn't we all!!

[Baz666]

Lookin good fella...never did like them wheels makes me want a tech 1

[Blitz]

Thats very nice.

[SimonBlythe]

Cheers Baz I must admit guys I do like the wheels that came with the car sorry! However, I am a greater fan of standard than I am bling so they had to go. Who knows I may get a cheap E30 just to stick the wheels on....like the wife will wear that one.

[tom325sport]

Wow i really like that! What is the correct colour - Lachs?

[SimonBlythe]

Not too sure Tom, I will check when I go back to the UK at the end of the month.

[gaszman]

will you put a tech 1 wheel on too

[SimonBlythe]

Don't know yet, I do like the wheel that she has at the moment.

[SimonBlythe]

I have got a 6 branch to go on along with a sump guard and gearbox cover so that should keep me busy. I aim to get the subframes and suspension shot blasted too so should keep me busy! Anyone know a good sandblaster in the Shrewsbury area?

[SimonBlythe]

I don't know what else to do to the car, any thoughts?

[SimonBlythe]

I was in the UK last week and discovered the tyres are 205/50/15 So the hunt is now on for a set of 205/55/15's which I think will make it sit a lot better.

[smithysmith]

Indeed its only a small thing but 55's are just more in proportion. Get concealed balancing while youre at it for the cleaner look i reckon
