Nicely presented car that! :)

BBS wheels look so much better than the old ones. Don't like 17s on E30s (sorry everyone!!)

Maybe find some centre caps?

And I think the yellow high beams look good! :mad:

I really like this iS, in fact it looks in such good condition that I find it hard to believe the wing could be rusted, how much have you had the car lowered... it looks just about right.

The iS is such a student's car! lol

wheels ae bit gash, but looks like a nice buy.. wheels will sell to fund something decent i can imagine, that style is popular in VW/Vaux i think

The car was lowered by the original owner so im not sure how low it is :( but it does look good and i get no problems with wheels rubbing.
the rear wheel arches have been rolled a bit though

Image

The plates are from dubmeister.co.uk

I fancied going for the simple looking ones without the D band, and theyre less likely to be noticed!
Havent had any trouble with them yet though(touch wood)
although my brother got a £30 fine for his (pressed plates but with GB band) This was when he was parked in a car park :s

Theyre quite expensive though especially with the M Power surrounds.
If your wanting some it could be a good idea to look on some dub forums and sneak in on a group buy winkeye winkeye

Sorry all you yellow haters, its cool :cool: it's different and they're staying! 8)

Not sure but I think my E30 had rolled wheelarches like that from the factory. I think mine's only ever had 14" wheels so I can't think why anyone would have rolled them aftermarket...
