Can you see your sticker Atul?

Thanks guys, it was hartges or staggered Alpinas. Think the Hartges suit the chromie better.

All sport suspension, wee drop, tech1 front end, e28 tech1 boot spoiler, fritz system lots of bodywork and paint and hey presto.

Really pleased as slightly understated was the look i was going for.

Interior is VERY different but doesnt photograph well at all.

anytime Darren.

I'd say it could have been a close one between yourself and & tsw's chromie on Sunday! Cracking this, even better than in the pics

Only two half decent pics I have of it

Love this pic, makes my e30 seem not very retro :(

the chrome bumper, the rubber spoiler and polished exhaust that just sticks out rather then having the valance or bumper moulded around it

Super cool, i'd swap my tech2 for a chromie :cool:
