Its been some time since ive posted up new pictures of my e30 after spending upto £900 on the suspension thanks to GAZ and RPM, £400 on new Continental tyres and my love for the VAG Euro Scene my car came to the conclusion to look as it does after bolting on 12mm spacers in the rear and 8mm spacers in the front shes nearly ready for the 2011 show season. i will be taking her out on the first meet to eatern dubs next week gallions reach hope to see a few e30 members there :D

I'd like to see this in the metal before commenting on the paint, but I do like the way it sits.
Will this be at Santa pod?

Yea its a good touring. I feel like the colour is a bit early noughties of max power but it is pretty cool to look at! The wheels are dappa! Borbets? (i can see the centre cap says borbet) They look like 17s? 9j?? or 9.5j? They would look mint on my golf, or my e30 lol
I'll check with the manager

Borbet B's they are, I'd hazard a guess at 16x9J all round?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I am the same as most post above.
Touring is spot on but the colour doesn't do it for me.
:cool: touring all the same.

Nice Touring.. Poor colour choice. Can never see the appeal of eyebrows, makes the car look sad..

thank for the comments people yh it was painted approximately 10 years ago the paint work really needs a polish everyones got their own oppinions about the colour :D OOMZ i dont think ill be going to santa pod im thinking about the BMW Ace Cafe meet next monday or even the Eatern dubs meet on wednesday :mad: the wheels i went for the 17"s by 9Js all round 16"s i though would have given it hardly and road clearance 17s personally give it a good enough road clearance well especially where i live east london. driving ova the humps here is lyk driving you car onto the pavement lol :mad:

The rear arches were pulled out ever so slightly by using hydraulic rams and then were rolled and the fronts were just rolled the front calipers needed to be shimmed down allowing clearance for the wheels and brake caliper but apart form that the wheels fitted snugly :D

It looks pretty snug as is now. She has the lot anyway by the look of it! Not mad on the colour but that's personal preference. What engine has she or did I miss that post?
