hmmm, tis ok,

I prefer munks actual results tho!

[tailoutcharlie]

real life allways looks best

im very tempted to get the simian to do mine but ill be starting with a white car whereas munlys was black has to be more of a ball ache.

what you think munky?

[march109]

I'm thinking about doing something similar to that to this:



But really not sure, and given the amount I've spent on her I really shouldn't!

[tailoutcharlie]

im only really thinking of mine as it has many a trolley dent (previous owners) and ill be gettin a few rusty bits done soon, cant be bothered to match up new white paint to 17 year old stuff, could look good matt black, only pain will be gettin to all the paint and masking etc.


i just dont know

[tailoutcharlie]

march109 your car looks pretty sweet as is to me, imo

could use an is front splitter as a finishing touch i wrekon.

[march109]

yeah mine looks pretty good there, but notice there is no front splitter (thats split) and a crease in the wing.

The only panels I didn't replace after some silly bint reversed into me!

Do you even need to ask... do it do it do it doooo eeeet!

Might take another coat as its white but i doubt it. I'm getting a garage soon, all of my own so could have it done for you in a day.

March - just change the wheels, that would make it look ten times better

ooooh that may swing it, ill check yours out in newquay before i decide.


speaking of newquay, click my sig and read people, twill be great weekend.

[munky30]

oi dont be whoring newquay in my topic!

[tailoutcharlie]

look at it this way.

more people go to newquay=more people see your car in the flesh(or metal)=more people are sucked into your new cult of darkness.





your own private army of darkness............FLY MY PRETTIES!

[munky30]

A bit better I suppose... still have an air of old man about them though.

split them and spray the centres black

[miniblob]

Munky - loving that paint job!!!!! Looks awesome!!!!

Always been tempted by naughty paint jobs like that!!!

Might do my mini van like that!!!! Or i might just stick with the hammered finish hammerite idea!!!

Edit: is that wicked stripe a stick on vinyl, or did you just mask that and spray it too???

[munky30]

Masked and sprayed.

Matt black mini van (I assume you mean an austin mini (clubman?) van, not a very small transit) would look sweet in matt black... and you'd only need about 5 cans

[miniblob]

Coolio!!!!!

Yeah, it's an old '82 Austin mini van - round fronted, not clubby!!
I'm worryingly tempted to spray it once i've got the new engine in!! (it could be a while!!)

Was sitting in the traffic yesterday, wondering what other matt colours might look good on an e30?? Matt white anyone??

[munky30]

rust-red primer looks kinda cool... but I think that needs to be on a proper old skool car like a 32 ford.

[Grim_Reaper]

that is faaaaaaaaaaantastic i want my touring to be like that (once i get it lmao) but i want a side exit zorst and black momos

real inspiration

doooo it DOOOOOOOO IT...also, is your an 325i? if it is, i thought they were 5 stud, but yours is 4 stud

[maxfield]

Only M3s were 5 stud

[Grim_Reaper]

Only M3s were 5 stud

ahhhh ok...yay im learning

[munky30]

It was a 316 when I got it, but its a 325 now

And yes, as the young'un says, all e30's are 4x100 pcd except m3's which are 5 stud.

[Grim_Reaper]

4x100 pcd you say??? what offset are they??? if they are around 30-ish then i can fit my dub 15s one i get one

[billibob1980]

Damn you mine is being painted matt black next week.... Damn you for getting there first..... Well at least i know it will look sweet.

[maxfield]

4x100 pcd you say??? what offset are they??? if they are around 30-ish then i can fit my dub 15s one i get one

I'm sure ideal offset is around 15-25mm offset.

So a 5-15mm spacer will be ok for them

i hate spacers...

munky, i for the first time i was depressed to drive my car, because it isnt a matt black e30 touring

[munky30]

Billibob -

My army of darkness is growing

I use civic wheels on mine atm. Iirc they are a 38et.

Without 5mm spacers the fronts rubbed against my struts.

bmw e30 ideal et is 15 front and 20 rear I think. Dub wheels will fit with spacers but you are right, spacers suck. at 85-95mph I get horrendous wobble because of mine. Eaily solved though... I just keep it under 85... no really I do

[tailoutcharlie]

I just keep it under 85... no really I do

hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm if you were doing 85 at the south west meet then my speedo must be broken, better get that fixed

[munky30]

I found out the other day that my guess of a top end of 125 with my diff was way out.

On a private road me and doddy did a gps verified 139mph. I was on the limiter in 5th at 7000rpm. It was fun.
