Was lookin through the pics section of the forum and found an E30 with just 2 headlights, 1 either side. Gave me an idea. Not sure if something like this has been posted before, apologies if it has! Just fiddled around a bit and came up with this. Not much in the way of photoshop skills but kinda reminds of an E30 version of a Dodge Charger...

Yeah but how cool would that be if you get it sorted like that by using gizmos etc to mask and unmask the lights!!

Seem to remember that the Charger's aerodynamic characteristics vary wildly depending on whether or not the lights are on!

It would be exceptionally cool though, I'll grant you.

Can you post a link to the pics you found or is it a car in the members section?

I'd like to have a look at that!

Your photoshop pic looks rude. Definately a nice project.

I'll get round to it mate. Although I think it would look better with the standard 4 headlights, except one being used as an air intake. Check out the link - just two headlights looks a bit.....dunno...not quite right. Unless - two headlights and TWO intakes! Get what I mean?! That could look :twisted:

Headin out now so I'll check you in a bit. Let me know what's happenin with regards to my PM.

Later.
