I have a not too tidy four door which I'd like to give the same treatment to.
I have a car bodyshop and we create/design in house, the vinyl wrap on the boot was designed by myself and made by us in shop.... contact me for prices where cheaper than anyone on ebay per metre and we can do any design you like????

any how ill not post pics of mine when its done some of you will sob your little hearts out but hey theres not going to be a shortage of e30's yes maybe in another 10 years ..
My point exactly.

It's why people post 6 times and never come back. It is a forum for E30's there should be a multitude of differences on here.

To the OP, stick some more pics up please, I think it looks ok. At the end of the day it is a cheap drifter 8)
exactly how i feel on here people slate other peoples cars coz there not to there tastes
who gives a sh** its there car let them do what they want to it

That looks cool mate, I think you should keep the chrome surrounds to the windows.

Not sure about Angel eyes but, overall with the wheels :cool: :cool:
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Nice finish, tell me something, what's the thing with the bonnet being slightly raised?
I've seen this on a lot of different cars, but I don't get it.

it is a drifting mod/look, it is to allow heat to escape more freely, if the bonnet is closed there is a rubber seal holding all the heat under the bonnet. :x

A slice of humble pie from me.

The finished product is still not to my taste, however the work you have done on this, the quality of the work and the speed at which you have done it shows alot of skill and creativity.

My hat is off to you.
