Nice wheels mate

[lew_bucket]

cheers they are borbet style alloys 8J front and 9J rear! lol

[leeparkes]

What size tyres are on the rear?
Would look so much better with some more meat on the back, ie 225's, looks like you got the room to do it aswell.
Do you know the offset on the rear?

Not a bad looking car, IS front lip would look nice.

looks great!

I am pretty sure the IS lip is still available from the dealers for about £100;

[lew_bucket]

really?! did not know that thanks alot

have a look in your local scrap yard as the volvo splitter is identical, to the IS near enough and fits in the same mounting clips as the OEM one they normally fetch about £10

^^ i thought you had to modify the volvo a bit and mess about not just clip in ? the is lip is the better way to go mind and its not big bucks, car looks great although a tech 1 or is rear spoiler would give a much better old school square look, do love a red facelift

[lew_bucket]

i dont suppose your know what volvo splitter it is by any chance? and thanks mate ive taken of the spoiler now just got a boot lip i thought it "spoiled" it ahah cheers guys

[Rich320I]

you do have to trim about an inch of each end, mine was from a volvo 240, i had it with some se skirts from a zoner.

agreed if you want it fully OEM then the IS lip is the way to go, but for a cheap alternative the Volvo is fine, google BMw e30 volvo lip loads of pictures.
