I actually don't think it looks too bad, although I would never fit it to my car. At £500 I doubt anyone else will either.

Beautiful is a stretch but it's not arse wrenchingly hideous. There are worse things that could be bolted to an E30.

It looks like a lot of effort has gone into it and the quality actually looks pretty decent. I just dont understand the logic behind it! 8O

Seen those before and it just looks s***. There is only one widebody e30 that looks good and it came from the factory

There's actually some 'logic' behind such a kit, if you happen to be a drift king type who wants to fit huge rims, without having to buy an M3 bodyshell.

That comment was in regard to the steering wheel! I can see the appeal of the widebody, as you say on a drift or track car

Ergonomics, innit? It's probably very comfortable, particularly on long-haul autobahn journeys across Europe.
