Yup, I'd love my E30 to look exactly like a Charger, bet its a lot of work though :D



On a serious note, not sure a 'full grill' would suit the E30 either. Did he make the grill rotate or just hide the lights behind it?

Looks rubbish, the lights are too small and too far apart for it to work. Just makes the whole front end look distorted and odd.

And before you rush out and chop your grilles up it might be worth finding a suitable headlight for the outers with combined dip and main beam :wink:
cheers,

Magpie your picture is highly distracting.. It took me 3 attempts to read this thread 8O

It would be interesting to see a e30 with a full grill not a fan of the single head light grille tho.
