that looks good!
if you're going very low with a M30, remember the front will sit lower already and is heavier.
after fiddling and the complication of having a M30 touring, i'm now running Leda coilovers and i'm very happy with the result! More touring car than just touring!

Looks crap. You need to chop the roof off. I've got a chain saw. Would be happy to give you a hand if you want winkeye

Just cant imagine you in a non cab E30 :?

Loads of potential there dude - going to look very good.

Have you thought of not fitting an Mtech Kit? Would look nice de-trimmed and all the holes welded up on such a simple car. 8)

shaz, this looks very impressive, i think calypso red is one of the best colours in the e30. if i were you, i'd resist the temptation of the tech2 kit, you will save money and and this car would look alot better with a euro/german look. either way i'll be very interested to see where this car goes...

Looks very classy and i love that colour. Get the kit on there mate and that would spot on although the suggestions of not having kit would make it equally lush.

How is the search going for the complete kit?

Rushy that kinda looks spot on,may go lower :mad:

Giggz got hold of the both side pods & skirts,also a lower front valance,other than that im still searching.
