i did mate the paint has lifted, moral of the story is never late a mate of a mate work on your car, i need to get the quarter and splitter sprayed, hopefully it should only cost about 250.

No better place to be when the sun is out than riding in an E30 cabrio! Looks very good Matt.....would be finished off with a chrome kidney grille though, would pick up on your wheels nicely :D

Definitely marmite. I love the car and what you've done with, not a fan of the heckblende though. But if we all liked the same it'd be a boring old world. Keep up the good work Matt, red one's come up nicely too

That's fair enough Chris, thanks for your comments, im not too sure on it myself, don't mind peoples opinions, but some people can take it overboard on here as you've probably already seen, love your sport by the way! :cool:

keeping it relatively standard, some 15 inch bbs's a heckspoiler, stainless backbox, yrlliw headlights, indicators, colour coded bunpers and mirrors. Depending how far i get might put a m50 2.8 in, or a 4 litre v8 would be funny, not that realistic though.

Sorry matt, im going to do something i hate others doing. I'm going to compliment your car and then follow it up with what i'd do to it if i owned it or what it needs...

Some lovely motors you have mate 8), but i would switch the headlights over, smoked headlights work well on a red car and a set of bullseye headlights would suit that cabrio alot better. The quad headlights give the e30 that distinctive look, having them smoked makes them blend in with the grill which takes away its looks.

:roll: I'll get my coat

Personally I dont like heckblendes but it seems to work on your car with the red tail lights and the colour of the car..... :thumb:

Thanks guys for the comments and advice, i don't know where im going with the red one yet, but think mtech kit free and fairly standard ish anyway. Although ive got a friend that will sell me sport black leather rear seats in mint condition, with subaru black and grey front bucket style seats for 120 with e30 runners, so might put them in temporarily, as interiors pretty knackered and poverty spec winkeye
