Dude, that car sooo needs a boot spoiler.

I have a proposition for you... I have a very nice spare boot with a small lip spoiler in dolphin grey that I was going to use for my sport for the euro look. I was going to remove the lip spoiler and get the wholes welded and sprayed over.

Would you be interested in doing a swap because yours doesn't have a spoiler and that's just what I'm looking for.

dude, that car looks SOOOO straight!!!!! nice 1!!!!! and yes, okay, that scorpion does look okay too. :)

i half agree with what e30adam says about the spoiler...but im not 100% convinced (mine has an SE spoiler, and i like it) but sometimes i think the std boot looks very smooth!

Hmmm, i'd also have to look at it with a spoiler onto see if i like it, we dont live close so i think posting would be the only option and it would be expensive!

Unless you've got any ideas ads?

Thanks for your comments, and see scott!! doesnt look that bad :cool:

Amber indicators will make a return into fashion one day, but i, as always, will be the out of fashion one...ive just bought brand new front and side indicators from BMW. dont ask the price please, my total bill was somewhat more than anticipated. but i love the original amber! adam, be uncool, stick to amber!

adam, maybe MAYBE u were right....... but still no pics of ur missus, so i wont agree to sweet F.A. till u post some new ones! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

yea we could do, just realised, this boot lid isnt going on your project is it? As its already got a nice 318i badge on it. :teehee:

I know your on the south coast somewhere, but where would be halfway between where you are and plymouth?

What do you mean it needs new number plates,the front one is as clean as a whistle, the back one maybe. :mad:

Looks like Bridport/Lyme Regis/Honiton area would be best which doesn't look too far from either of us.

I just got some deep dished wheels for my sport so am looking for a smooth boot for the euro look. I'm keeping my boot with the m-tech 2 spoiler and purchased a nice spare one but it's got a lip spoiler on it. My plan is to have 2 boots so that I can swap and choose along with my wheels.

That looks nice, Deffo a set of clear indicators on it, they look better than smoked on a Grey car IMO.

Looks nice mate.Im not sure if i should replace my standard exhuast with a differnt one (Just the back box, not a full system).At the moment i dont get to many coppers looking as my car isnt loud lol. Nice being quite for a change :P If i can find a second hand twin pipe i might get it,be nice to have somthing a little louder than stock,and the fact it looks nice lol.

mate, that is so sweet, the 'classic look' the car is real nice

advice - red rear lights are needed there

leave a boot spoiler off and dont bother putting sprt skirts or anything like that

id have that car no porblems 8)
