Well guys, been on this site a long time now but didn't really post anythin.... Until now cos at last i actually own an e30! always wanted a 318is seein as tax in ireland is based on engine size, a 2.5 costs around 1000 euro a year to tax, so the 1.8 is a lot easier on the wallet! so anyway, here she is:
factory fit mtech2 kit as well!

and finally, the day after i buy the car i experience bmw quality....

then i got some new bits for her:
a nice set of german plates, sprayed my grille black and got some eyebrows and a nice stainless back box to fit tomorrow

then:
got lamin-x headlight film in the post the last day so thought i'd give it a try!

Just as well you saved on the tax, cos now you have an E30, you'll be dipping into that wallet on a regular basis!
Nice looking motor :wink:

Which Laminex did you use?

too much council activity going on.it has the correct amount of doors and in tidy white :D

just needs 24v when you get bored with limited action.

ya, it's the gunsmoke lamin-x,
the exhaust is just an egay universal job, wanted to get somethin cheap and and quick to put on.
ya i'm hopin to get some nice wheels for her soon/when i get some cash.
tbh it's exactly what i wanted, not council estate in my opinion, it's a standard mtech2 kit, the only different thing from standard is the alpinas.
also it is a sport? so not really a wannabe!
