Chin spoilers and eyebrows spoil the cabs. Cabs even more than the saloons look better standard bar nice rims. The recaros dnt look good in cabs either. Only addition I would save up for is a hardtop now you got some wheels.

Standard cabs on a nice drop with good rims and a hardtop is all you need fella.

Just call me gok wan!

Agree with the lads on the tips to make your car better. I love M3's - wish I could
Find a good one, however not a fan of M3 cabbies. Lines don't look quite right some how.

Will be a nice car :D

Thanks for the comments guys,
its got a mint roof, and original bmw hardtop,
i'm looking into a engine conversion, as the price on rebuilding a s14 is skyhigh, maybe this will happen in few years time as the bm is my 4th car and currently on sorn,

Re build the s14

With an engine conversion the car will just loose value and engine conversions which would do justice or honour the car will cost a lot of money

Get it as close to standard as possible, Ive got some 16" BBS kicking about.

just a thought fella.i came across the one in the pic 4 yrs ago and not seen another in red since .

yours should be worth a few quid when it's finished .you'll mos probably make a decent profit if you were to sell now .

Win all over it 8)
