I just couldn't help it. Alecs and I took a few more pics today and I just had to share a few of the better ones. Forgive me? ;)

Hey, is it just me, or does everyone's pics get downsized on the forum? While they are loading, they are "normal" size, but once finished, they downsize even more. I have already downsized them from the high res in which I took them but they get further reduced on my screen here. Is this everyone? Should I upload them in high res then?

Yes, the Zone reduces the pics to fit the screen. Dont bother uploading higher res pics, they will be reduced as well.
You could reduce the pics yourself to a smaller size so they wont be distorted.

For comparison: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=75559

I used the same size pics on both sites, but you see the difference in size?

Yeah, r3v leaves the pics the original size, but you get the scroll bar at the bottom - this screws the page up on the Zone, so the pic is reduced.

Try this pic size.....

I never have used Zaino. Usually use P21S, but was out so I used Wolfgang products this time around, and I don't think it's ever looked better.

More nice pics!

I prefer the look without the wheel centre caps personally. I think it looks a bit meaner!

Mate that is such a gorgeous and slick example of an e30 you have there. Well done!

I personally would take the badge off the grille but thats just my opinion.

Keep the pics coming I say :cool:

Really cool looking car, I have always loved the red e30s they're athe ones I remember the most as a teenager in the 1980s. I would buy one myself apart from the problem of red fading or oxidising. Really impressed keep up the good work.

You just have to find the right one. Mine is original paint all over and it's in incredible condition. Sure there are minor little rock chips/pecks here and there, but it's in fantastic shape. To illustrate the point, I just installed the Mtech I rear spoiler, it was new, and had the top insert painted in 308. They didn't color match, just went by code. Once installed, you couldn't tell a bit of difference between the 16-yr old paint of the decklid, and the 1-day old paint of the spoiler. So yeah, red CAN oxidize/fade, but all the colors can, white can be one of the worst at being flat.

Just hold out for the right one. :wink:

No, unfortunately, it's not an option.
als87e30 wrote:alpina wheels? If so, sizes please
Yes, Alpina "replicas" aka, Kopis available here: http://www.abrahamsmotorsport.com/ , as well as other places. Size: 17x7.5" and I'm running Goodyear F1s in 215/40-17. You might know that the Alpina reps available in the UK are slightly different in design than the ones I have. The UK versions have a flat rim surface, mine are smooth/rounded.
