Dont know wether to stick to original plan to put an IS lip spoiler on the front or go for the M-tech II front valance like 6potwills got. think both look good with the SE skirts and M-techII boot spoiler.

Cars lowered so dont know which ones deeper either, as theres a few bumps round cardiff!

+ Any thoughts on wether i should have the insides of my BBS painted grey like the motorsports...........just an idea winkeye

ok, in my opinion just having the tech 2 spoiler without the rest of the kit makes the car look a bit front heavy.

disagree, i think it helps with having the raked look, which really suits the E30,plus the iS lip has been done to death and falls off

Maybe you should change the title of your thread dude ? "Don't know what to do with myself" conjours up all sorts of horrible images and none of them have anything to do with cars :D

Give us an indication of your buget and we can suggetst things within it, otherwise most of what will be suggested will not be cheap winkeye

If you ask me, it'll be wide arches massive alloys and lots of toys to play with inside. That's just my style :D

Just a lowly student so funds are always short, but theres always the student loan to spend winkeye

I think an Is lippy is Ԛ£90 at a stealer, and the mtech isnt much more. the alpina cow-catcher just slightly out of my price range

if you want an iS lip, then just follow Karan around until he gets to a speed hump and then collect it from the road :duck:

Tech 2 front on its won wont look 'even', it has to be the full kit or none in my opinion. Go for the is lip. 8)

The Tech II on my car did look a bit funny without the bumper/rest of the kit but i think it worked :)

Main problem with the iS lip is yes, they seem to fall off rather often. I used to keep losing mine when i had the iS :?

i got an Is lip on mine and it will never fall off...

I noticed on the bottom of the front valence there was 3 holes 2 at the side and 1 in the middle at the front.. I thinks hmmm these could be useful so drilled matching holes on the lip and got some cable and tied it on, solid as a rock! now.. I think I might have to use the std lip with is lip now I've seen the drift slag! looks awesome!
