Yippee...finally got the car of my dreams E30 325i cab :-)

[Gert_8]

Cabs exchange hands rapidly, what's
To say the op is keeping this and
Not just enjoying it for the
Summer?

[gillsl500]

looks lovely. Same colour as mine. Mine also has the brows, but I will be removing these, Genuine smoked hellas to the front, which IMO look very good. Enjoy.

Cheers buddy how much would a set of those smoked Hellas cost and what other variations available as opposed to the Hellas?

Cheers

[gillsl500]

Does it need a roof, hence the hardtop, and is it manual or electric?

Nice to see the interior.

The roofs perfect mate it's and electric roof and works too....double thumbs up

[gillsl500]

Guys come on!! "In your opinion you wouldn't put eye brows on etc" If everyone had the same E30'S it would be a boring e30 world we live in, i say do what ever you want to do with it bud, what ever style you want to go for, just do it. However saying that, i've recently got my E30 cab and i've done the complete opposite to what you are thinking of doing, changed the blacked out kidney grill, put the standard indicators & side repeaters back on & took off the eye brows. Why? Because i love the original way a E30 looks, you however may prefer the slightly more modified look, if so fair play.

You know that time when you just type and before you know it you've just been ranting on for a bit, well that was then

Lovely looking e30, enjoy it

Cheers mate, I'd always do what I'd think was best anyways!! Have to say though that my choice and opinion in styling a car has changed now from what I used to prefer 10years ago. So maybe one day I will just appreciate the car for the OEM looks?

Cheers buddy

[gillsl500]

Ignore the Dins,smoked headlights rock.




Nice car, cabs look much better with a hardtop fitted.

Now that's what I'm talking about

The M3 thats pictured in advert banner for the zone (top right hand corner)....well that's what inspired me to go for the smoked look ....stealth

[gillsl500]

Well I'm thinking of doing the following and would appreciate some ideas with regards to where to start or even new ideas too. It's all cosmetic stuff really and not sure if I really want to mess around with the performance side of things just yet?

1) thinking about getting hold of some eye brows...any body know where I could get some?

Your car, if you like them go for it.

2) thinking of going for either BBS RS or RM's or even the DZ Exclusives? How ever have no idea on size of wheels, so any ideas welcome?

15" RM's in 8j and 9j will be about £800+ for a fully refurbed set.

15" RS's, there's a set on sale here from "CharlieOgden"
16" RS's, hope you have deep pockets, as they are about £2.5k for 4x100
DZ Exclusives, good hunting to find a set.

3) smoked head lights or even smoked lights all round? Any body know where I could get some from?

Me, done loads for Zoners on here.

4) Coilovers? But don't know if i'l need them, suppose depends on size of wheels? Any suggestions?

Be careful, as usually Gaz ones will rub on the front wheels and you'll need spacers to clear the spring seat.




Car looks Nice.

Cheers for your help buddy...

So how much would it cost to get my lights smoked and what method do you use?

Also I'd just be cruising in her, so would coilovers be wasted? Im not sure if I want to slam her or lower her even further? At the moment the rear is 60mm and front 40mm? Any advice appreciated?

Cheers buddy

There would be three rules on here if I were king:

1. OEM, right down to the oil filter (and no aftermarket headunits either)

2. Spelling and grammar to be 100% at all times - three strikes and you go to Zone jail for a stretch

3. No eyebrows

ignore all the bawbags who think standard is the only way. stick any tat you want on it, its your car. by the looks of the e36 thats exactly what youll do anyway.
on a side note id maybe set my sights a little higher if an e30 was my dream car.

[Alpina99]

Very nice looking car as it stands,
(Put it this way, I'll keep photos as examples for when I start mine !!)
At the end of the day though, it's your car so you do with it what you wish,

The ones I supply are Bosch and half the price of the Hellas, and do the same thing.
I'm sure a zoner will be along to clarify the workmanship on mine.
I use crosshairs that are laser cut to suit the Bosh lamps and look exactly the same.

[Gert_8]

^^ Good quality stuff from what I gather. Rav you forgot to give him a price.

[Rav335uk]

Sent him a PM.

Fair point dude...many thanks for the heads up

[sajad09]

Biggest mistake I made selling this!!! Lol I hope it still looks as good today

[Fastroad]

What spec is this car? 318,325??

- eyebrows, lights, wheels, suspension... Do it all if you like and keep the original parts for if you ever want to put it back to standard.

Everyone has a difference in opinion on what they like, so just do what you like

[sajad09]

Do you still own this gillsl500?

[Brianmoooore]

He was thinking of putting a M52 in it about ten months ago.
