I have to agree strongly with Tng21 on this one. The 2nd pic looks way, way better than the 1st one, but then i guess everyone knows by now that if it aint got a fat arse with fat wheels, I wont be interested in it :D winkeye :wink:

Pic 2 , the way to go !!!

Whilst i appriciate an original standard looking car, my interest is in those cars which make a statment, something a little bit different so my vote goes with pic 2

Each to their own i guess! I personally prefer Pic 1 but then again im a standard man myself. But it would be a dull world if we were all the same!

drop the first one 60/40 and fit some 205/50/14's and she'd be lookng sweet.

Refurbed bottle tops look quite good imo

Usually I would say second pic but there is just something about an E30 with no boot spoiler that looks cool, so first pic it just needs to be lowered 60" all round.

I like modded cars but something that looks standard but has subtle mods looks really cool

yeah i'd go for pic 2 as well, i agree though about the boot spoiler, there is summt about an e30 with out one, the was a cabby in PBMW a bit back, guy had put bus round lights on the back and loads of over mad shit, was a sweet looking car but it had no boot spoiler and i think it made it look better

Definitely, imo the M-tech II boot spoiler ruins a car's looks, it looks like an over-chunky after thought :bolt:

Edit: Yes, i know the spoiler pictured isn't 'tech II.....
