My first post...

[snowfruit]

seats can be changed and the words 'cheap', 'serviced' and 'not been ragged' sound quite appealing

btw heres a second stab at what I might do to it...

[munky30]

brown

[frogger]

Brown rocks. I dig the old school style you're going for. Chrom works but ONLY if the car is absolutely immaculate.

Looks like the main car from a German version of 'Minder.'

[snowfruit]

Old school styled cars rock IMHO. Not 100% set on the chrome, black might work better, but the bumpers have to be the small chrome/steel type

p.s. imagine a dark chocolate with a slight hint of gold flake...

There is a post in Photo section of a really good looking 4 door. Was a bloke from Iceland if i remember right

in a world of m-tec2 kits and eyebrows there needs to be visionaries who do something different.....no matter what anyone else says.

x3...... up the tourings...... listen to us u know its right.

brown tho......... isnt poo also that colour??

Brown looks sweet on an old-skool look. Not that particular shade though - my photoshop skills are a little lacking.

I have gone and done a silly thing. I've been browsing the engine swaps/forced induction forums
Now I think FI is a bit beyond my budget - for the moment - but... I would love an old skool look car with a carbed/TB'd engine, I think the high revs would suit my driving.... Would you need a 4 cylinder for this or is it just as feasible on a 6 pot?

[stevotheevo]

hi mate, its gonna depend on your driving style, with a 4 pot your always gonna be in high revs, but with a 6 pot you can choose, they will rev up nicely but you can be lazy with them to.
IMO it has to the 6, best of both worlds.

I must admit a cabby had crossed my mind. How useful is a cabby with a hard top?

Need storage space in the summer. They do look fantastic....

Hard tops are for pussies.
