Running out of things to mess with.

Colour coded top.
Leather will be professional done in the next couple of weeks.
Type 5's would be nice.

Very nice Sir.

Apart from a hard top I'd stop now. It looks spot on.





Brows are 100% wrongness.

yeah, that looks great!!

im a fan of the eyebrows. one of the 1st cosmetic changes i did to my E30. i think i like them more coz the car is black and i've sprayed the eyebrows the same colour as the car, and it doesnt look too bad against the black headlamp grilles. i think if i had a different colour car, i wouldnt like 'em, but at the moment, i think mine look good

like chris w said, its the marmite of the E30 world!!

Gareth... no B&W plates... that's wrong too. The German plates you have look great. A colour coded hard-top and bling BBS's would make it perfect. :wink:

Ooooh, and a sports bra... to stop all those nasty stone chips! LMFAO

mmmm looks very similar to mine, so i am all for it!!

was toying with smoking the fogs, but need to figure out a way of opening them, i will wait till it cools down.

also not a fan of eyebrows TBH, but i am not a fan of the M badge either, hence why its a good job everyone is different!!

oh yeah your next job is easy, swap your indicator lenses so they match :wink:

I've been trying to unearth a can of Tamiya 'smoked clear' paint I have somewhere to try just that.

Love that picture Chris. Who needs a Macau M3 winkeye

I need a 5-stud conversion now cheaper than buying an Macau m3.

Lee, I agree with the M badge but I get away with it, just as its a Motorsport. I think anyway. Macau blue is the best colour. Looks black and then purple as well in the sun.

Eyebrow's are a no-no, in my book.

Gareth... there are 5 stud conversion parts for sale on the Zone... £200 - I would come over and help you do this if you're serious!
