Is an E30 retro enough for minilites?

[Ziggy]

sorry Zig, being a bit thick, is that software you have on your 'puter or a web site I can visit?

It's a photo editing package that you install on your PC...

sorry about the size of the Avatar, experimenting!!

Dont really think them wheels are fit enough for an E30 they look to old school ford for my liking,.. Buy like they say each to there own

[Turbo-Brown]

how did Ziggy & Turbo Brown mange it on the earlier part of this thread?

Photoshop

PAINT! I've no idea how to use photoshop for anything other than making gif files

OK this looks really dodgy because of the rough/ amateur paint effort on my behalf, but I think E30 smoothed out with no side strips or bumpers! dropped as low as possible on some nice deep dish minilites could work, just don't know if I would be brave enough to spend my hard earned proving a point!

don't know if this link or photo will work either....

doesnt look to bad mate TBH!

can I get the number of the dude who did your paint?!

[m1key]

i had a little play..... now i think this looks pretty hard!

after seeing that i got hard and had a play !

looks so mean that low.

[E30BeemerLad]

Mikey - that's totally the look I was going for, now get rid of the chrome, side rubbing strips and bumpers and I reckon it would be a retro flyer, albeit a low flyer!

Any lower and that motors gonna need bumps in the wings to clear the wheels

The Tire Rack lets you put wheels on cars http://www.tirerack.com here is the link for a 325i http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/ ... toModClar= don't think they have minilites though .

Those dont belong.
Cant see those on a e21 either.
Would like prime on an '02.

[CaesarBob]

I can just picture this with a Confederates flag painted on the roof and 01 on the doors.

Not loving the Minilites idea i'm afraid.

[Jhonno]

no need to be a sheep..

The Minilights/minilight style rock, look different but cool on the e30 imo

[Lowm3]

Do IT!!!

will look phat slammed, esp if you go for 9's

[Ziggy]

Jon, if you read this, PLEASE don't do it to my poor ol' car!

[E30BeemerLad]

Jhonno, I think it can work too, it was just a daft thought I had after looking at a 2002 with them on (cover page of Retro Cars a couple of months back)

I think the car would have to lose the bumpers and and side strips etc so the bodywork is totally clean and smoothed, plus no chrome around the windows, absolutely slammed - call it E30retrotracklook ??

By the way, is the car in your sig a 320is?

[Jhonno]

na - its a US 325is

i'll get a pic of mine in there when its up to scratch

[DanJones]

I like the look of the minilites but only on the not so low photo.....I quite like the idea of having ronal turbos on a low chrome bumper e30...THink thatd look quite good.

[Chaos]

One of the brands I looked at was Compomotive, they had a wheel called the ML

now those ones i think wud look good.

spokes come to edge of rim, so they look big.
nice design (always loved minilites)

i reckon theyd look good on an e30
