Not looking too different from the last lot of pics I posted but now riding on Bilstein shocks and Eibach (-40 all round) springs, properly smoked front indicators and stamped plates.

Not sure there's much left to do looks wise. The rear has all red lights and no spoiler. Interior has full black sports leather - could do with some spruising up. There are bits here and there which could do with some attention but on the whole I just intend to run it as is for the moment.

At some point I'll post a whole load of pics from start to finish for those that are interested.

Cheers for looking.

I found since putting in a rear blind on my chromie the windows looks a little tinted due to the light not getting in. :cool: And you can drop the blind when you want.


Looks mean :twisted:

Thanks guys!

Pony, it's my only car! Had planned to turn into track slag once I have enough money to buy a new car but with new house on the cards next year I think this along with my gfriends 106
diesel, these are going to be the only cars on the drive way for the moment.

Tempted by window tints but not sure I want to spend the cash. How much do rear blinds go for and where do they fit onto?

Cheers,

Nick

Not usually my sort of thing but that looks like a proper weapon - needs some sort of monster engine to do it justice - maybe a V8 :twisted:

All black looks great, tints on e30s have never appealed to me but in this case yes! Black hellas next? or have the reflectors on the headlights been tinted already?

Thanks a lot guys!

iceox - yes they are and no I definitely don't want to swap :mad: :D

svenga - they're diy cross-haired lights. The pics don't really do them justice especially since one side seems different to the other but in the flesh they look spot on. Friends who have driven in front of me and seen them in the rear view have said they look pretty badass which is good to hear.

Could do with taking some proper arty-farty pics with an SLR or something. Not meaning to brag but it does look a lot better in the flesh - the wrap looks more of smoother/darker black :cool:
