This is one of my all time favorite E30's. Infact it's the car that made me do the Msport. I agonised for weeks weather to use this kit or leave the Tech2 and chose the Tech2 in the end, but i'm almost wishing i'd gone for this now.

Interior is horrible though, which is a shame. A plain cream or white retrim would have worked a treat.


Thanks for the link Deano :wink:


Enjoy

It's top quality work but the yellow interior is nasty, not loving the bumpers as much as the wheels tho

low does NOT equal great handling :mad:

how low is mtech?
how low is Hartge?

and if you DARE to say that touring/race cars are low and handle great, I shall have to shoot you

I know but if it is ont coilovers im sure it would be great handeling and with it being that low the centre of gravity will be low which also helps good handeling winkeye

I'm NOT going to steal bootymans thread and argue with you....

but........ winkeye

lowering the centre of gravity is a good thing... as long as you do everything else that really makes a difference - geometry, castor, camber, ARBs, blah blah... and WHATEVER positive result you may or may not get from lowering, you will ruin it 10x over by having such stupidly low profile tyres - which is why I said I bet the car handles like poo, but looks good

I quite like the attack-by-wasps interior theme :D

You do have a valid point but it could handle great or really bad for all we know...

Front bumper looks pretty aggresive, but works well with the reat of the car...overall it's the rims that make this car look sweet, the interior certainly doesn't :puke:

Still i wouldn't say no winkeye

i am not sure about that at all. the interior colour does not compliment the car colour at all, i think he has made a mistake on that, as bootyman says a plain cream or if he wanted two tone, cream and a colour as close to the bodywork would look so much better. The car looks a bit to try hard for me, but each to his own, its all about personal choice and taste.

Interior is not even worth talking about and i'd have moded the front bumper to be as smooth as the back cause the 2 are opposite, but the rest of the car is fantastic.

Orange you dont build a car like this for speed and handling. It's all about the pose mate winkeye

Oooohh, that is sweet!!!!!!!!!

Do hate that interior - that would come straight out and in goes the lotus white leather retrim!!!!!

Agree it could be improved slightly here and there - bit of smoothing wouldn't go amiss, but i still love it!!!!

If i had money to burn i'd snap that up!! Always wanted a cab!!

Liking that rocker cover though - need to get me one of those!!

Not really Matt. The Msport is quiet standard apart from the slightly flared acrches, and the paint, and the interior, and the ICE, and the wheels and the suspension, but that's it :wink:
