hello to everyone,

thanks to the people who replied to my poll the other day, either way i was gonna get these wheels but just wondered if people had the same taste as me...the majority did. :D

so one of the first steps to making mine a euro beast is my
wheels, i ordered them yesterday and they should be here within
14 days so i cant wait sorry no pics on car will post them up asap.

ive got loads of stuff to post up anyway ive just been lazy! :roll:

ive changed my standard shite interior for full grey leather with
black piping and r/hr. and ive also taken the 1.6 and put it in the
bin and christened her with a nice 2.5 and a few bits here and there.

all this has been done for nearly 2 months but i havent had a camera
but seeing as i got one for xmas i now have no excuse.

any way enough jabbering here is a pic of the wheels ive bought
in 15 7.5

Image

ive got a quick side view pic here post more pics up soon.
this pic is to show the quick vmod that my mate done after.
so il put the before then after

before

Image

and after.....

Image

.........with black rims and polished lip, it has been slammed, dechromed, the door lock removed and light smoke window tints. this will obviously not be to everyones taste but its just a small taster of what it will hopfully look like in months to come. i want a proper dark euro cruiser :cool: :cool: :cool:

hope you like what you see ...feel free to pass any comments :D :D

cheers eun

Very nice mate!!

This is similar to how I want to do my 318i which is also black, but gonna keep the chrome around the windows to match the polished lip on the black BBS.

All in good time tho. I've still got to get round to swappin my 14s for some 15s then get them painted. Not to mention get round to swapping my 1.8 lump for something a bit tastier.

Yea im good thanks bud, i see your busy with big engines etc! If i still had my E30 thats probably what i would do :)

@ Lee, yea that sounds like the same one, was outside the front of My Vue cinema driving past. Used to also see a white T-ech 2 kitted 2 door E30 out aswell, not a touring though.

I used to drive a 318i,

Image

Image

Had a set of BBS's and Alpina reps for her
had 325 ARB's
325 front brakes with ATE power groove discs and Pagid Fast road pads
Scorpion DTM backbox
Lowered 60mm on Pi springs
Full Cloth Recaro interior :cool:
iS front lip spoiler

But she was only a 318i and i wanted sometghing quicker, so got a 200sx :D

Image

And have spent money modding that now. I might see you around as i go Plymouth uni and go out alot etc.
