Nice colour should look good once taken care of; detailing and repaint if need be.

Front and rear lights need to change back to OEM, plenty on sale through ebay and here if they pop up.

Rims, the bottle caps probably look better IMO, sell those if you can and buy a nice set of BBS 15" and removal of tints.

After that I'd say it'll look amazing, hardly see a black two door.

Looks like a decent project.

Interior Pics?

Here is some inspiration:

Welcome to the Zone.
Looks like a good basis to make it how you want it.
What are your plans?

I bought my first e30 about 5 months ago aswell mate, an like you i fell in love straight away. And as tanveer said i aint to keen on the wheels, but thats a simple change. Would look good on a set of bbs or imo i love the look of alpina reps, even though everyone will tell you they will affect the handling, which they will, but i couldnt resist, i got alpina reps on mine and love the way they look. Personally i like the front lights aswell. If you have fallen in love you will no dout get the e30 bug like i have. Enjoy!

Yeah just wanted to be clear that was just my opinion, not saying that you should do that. Just being clear in case you take offence, and I mean none at all.

Good Luck mate

Hey Everyone and thanks for the warm welcome :)

The interior is Full Black Leather apart from the passenger seat which is a grey cloth (Confusing i know). As for the wheels, I hate them lol. I want to put some Borbet A's on her (Not to everyones taste but hay hoe). Engine is a 318is but is running abit rough at the moment. Ill keep everyone posted on things to come.

Thanks, Mark

If you can get all that interior matching black leather that would be tidy mate. Glad you hate those wheels aswell lol. Then if you get that 318is engine running smooth you should be on to a winner there mate. Plenty of people on here that will be able to give you any advice and tips. Good luck
