Nickso has one and he's in Aberdeen, not hard to do but quite time consuming.
You need the clocks out and bits of the dash.

They cost me a fortune for them, I must admit I wasn't that impressed when I first seen them but once the windows are tinted you won't be able to see the 6x9's

Bigpimpin I pm'd Nickso in regards to the OBC and told me that he had sold it

I was thinking about getting them plates where can they purchased from? It's took me ages to decide which wheel to go for and was tempted to go for BBS Splitties but were far too expensive and there is still alot more to be done, so would rather spend the money on upgrading the engine so if anyone has any ideas please advise, sound system still to be completed, rocker cover and inlet manifold are also coming off and getting recoated not sure what colour yet.

Cheers for all the comments guys

well as for the plates, i recently bought mine from Ebay, there was a company which had £19.99 buy it now price, very good service and the plates are UK legal, when you buy your sound system make sure to get component speakers and tweeters with you sub-woofer, the set-up will be excellent, make sure the sub is above 600watt RMS as it is hard to extract good bass from a saloon. Good luck!

Alreet Daz,

Just be needing those front seats if you still have, just away to move house to other halfs so will have a severe shortage of room for storing. Might have someone to buy your other bits though.

Got a phone again so gimme a buzz when your back on dry land dude!!

Cars looking awesome, good work bud!!! :cool:

Most of you will know I'm not into cosmetic mods, but I do rather like the red interior. Nice contrast between the silver paintwork. :D

you had a Mini h'mm wonder if I know you were you a member of any of the Mini forums.????

Your car looks very good.

However I would have been tempted to find and fix this grinding noise from the rear that I read about in a very early post on this thread before doing all the other work.

I would defo loose those speakers in the rear and 100% get rid of your head unit it just not for that style car. You angel eyes are good. Your interior is sweet is that a custom trim done for you or is it bought of the shelf

Your sport looks awesome mate....Ultra clean 8) I ahve a little bit of constructive criticism though, I think you need to get rid of the angel eyes as they dont suit e30's....Also im not a fan of De-locked e30's, I was thinking of having my old sport de-locked but the guy at the body shop pursuaded me not to and looking back im so glad i didnt. The colour coded handles look cool though.

Well guys cheers for all the comments, in regards to those speakers yes I know they look out of place but tinted windows will hide them, I didn't know how they would have looked but there on now, cheers Hubble didn't think you would have liked it since you have one of the most cleanest and most original Sports of them all. The mini that we had can be viewed in the events under Seaside Spectacular and we were on newminiscotland.co.uk forum.
As far as lists of what I've done to the car and how much it has cost will be revealed later but to give you an idea of cost it's near 18k :cry: :cry:
e36boy!! I'm keeping the Angels but the delocked handles were already done before I purchased the car and has caused a few problems so far when the battery went flat a couple of times.

Wasn't custom these are Cobra Le Mans and as far as I'm aware these were the only set done in full leather there are a choice of 3 different colours in Leather though, the rear seats and headrests are the existing mtech ones when I bought the car but just retrimmed to match the front
