Nice. Slam it and it'll be a corker!

Just don't like the blending of the Tech 2 side pods. :cry:

Yellow and Black works well though. 8)

Yeah looks really tidy. The yellow wouldn't be my preference but it's certainly a head turner!!

Am interested in the black kidney grille, where the hell do you get those?

Also think I'd go for clear or smoked indicator lenses, the orange clashes quite badly!

Looks pretty cool, wheels are way to big for the car though, put it back on BBS, spray the inside black keeping the lip silver, drop it and if you wanted to go that one step further, smoked hellas on the front, will look absolute awesome.

although yellow isnt my personal pref, that looks pretty good. From what i see from the pics it doesnt need a drop, you havent got a big gap between wheel and arch, looks like its been already dropped.

totally crap pic, but u can kinda see what state it was in..

i have to agree with a few comments, the kit & smoothin of sides aren't my choice either along with the colour, being on a v.strict budget i done the best i could with what i had. previous owner had smoothed the kit along with trying to fix rusted rear arches, i ripped out the bad work but money left me choice but to smooth it properly..

front indicators r smoked just think lights hit them funny, my list that i wanna do is pretty much wot u guys mention, light smoke on windows, lower profile tyres, current just came with the ultra cheap alloys, which will oneday be replaced, dominitry took the words out my mouth with what i wanna do, lower, black sport or m3 leather, possibly letterbox style exhaust and chip it.. need to do my homework on avbove so will be askin u guys 4 direction at somepoint!

thanks 4 ya kind comments so far though, i'm the only beemer freak that i know round here so its hard gettin advice & tips, thats why i love this site so much. your all top chaps & chappets :D

ps : blatanarrogance, got my grill of ebay, along with me other smoked bits..

rear bumper fits over the old chrome one, cut & shaped to fit round arches and fixed place, whole kit was a sod to fit though. no one part fitted even near where it should, totally oversized

Much nicer than i thought it would be from the original pic you posted.

I agree with most of the comments, slammed with some new rims would look awesome

I think the car looks very nice - I like yellow. Actually when I got my red 325i my original plan was to respray it in BMW Dakaar yellow at some point but I am defo keeping the original bright red when it eventually sees the spray gun. I just feel that to change the colour of a car it has to be done right i.e. totally stripped to a bare shell then painted so that it looks like it came out the factory that colour. There's nothing worse than seeing an engine bay in a different colour to the exterior imo. But as said above your motor looks :cool: and is defo the best colour for turnin' heads.
