great thead,, loving all the pics and banter,,

only thing is.. reading some of these comments has made me think/rethink that i no longer wish to be an individual and am considering putting my car back to looking factory so i can be excepted by the cool kids on the block,, hide all its bad bits with filler and shiny paint then spend loads of time polishing it as iv got loads of time free at the mo..

i understand that the lowered/stance/euro or what ever its bloody called these days look, is just a look.. the car is a bitch to drive SOMETIMES on bad roads or around speed bumps and if not done right can also be dangerous,, but it often slows me down on roads i should be going slower on anyway..

on the other foot, optimizing your handling on a road car can lead many into a false sense of ability,, meaning that when they do lose control its at a much higher speed,, not good on a public road,

competition.cars need to be the best that they can be..
track day cars are there for fun..
road cars can be what ever the fu.k they want to be,,

peace, love and lentils.. rant over.lol.

lovely.

one of the few facelift e30s thats low yet doesnt look like it's dragging a soggy arse along the ground.

probably a paint to actually use on uk roads, but it looks great 8)
cheers,

And I thought you were the wheel expert Rav :P The Turbos are the 10 spoke split rims OZ made, these are what seem to get called the Turbines.

Look like this now;
