OK, depends what look you want and how much attraction you want to attract.

I personally think a light (legal) smoke on the windows is nice. Likewise, some original Alpinas or Hartges or wide BBS Split rims with a nice drop. If you can't get these, then re-furb your BBS alloys. They are perfect for the E30.

I wouldn't do the badge thing. Rather the opposite and de-badge. Some German plates would also go down well.

Just my opinion.

If you want performance mods, then talk to some of the others on here. Sal will be able to provide you with bits of kit.

would consider preformance mods, but would that not basically mean more fuel consumption? cant afford this, only 19, hard enough to afford the car, nevermind the fuel.

U don't need to tune the engine at first. I bought mine and overhauled the suspension and brakes at the same time. It's cost alot but made such a difference. I could really make use of all the power all the time with predictable handling and safe stopping. I'd rather that than a shagged car with a good 2.7 as i'd shit myself all the time wondering if i could make that bend and then stop at the traffic lights.......

Why don't you LPG it? Then you can drive it hard and afford the fuel :)

Half that will see a M20 profesionaly converted, and most of us can find LPG at a fair bit less than 48p, if you stay away from BP.
