hello everyone
i am new here
i used to have an e36 coupe and was a member of a well known coupe forum :wink: for over a year

i have always wanted an e30 tourer so decieded to sell my e36 and downgrade

however after the first drive i found it to drive a lot better than my old car so was well chuffed

i am now the proud owner of an 316 93 tourer in bright red
i have allready started the long road to my ideal tourer

firstly i have removed all the front grille and resprayed in satin black

removed my fog lights and got blanks

ordered my pressed steel number plates and surrounds

i am planning on lowering it about 60mm if anyone could show me an example of what this would look like i would be graetfull :D

i am sticking with the 15 inch bbs for now and am getting some skinnier rubber on them and some red and gold bbs centres

also planning on an is splitter or any ideas again :?

and some se side skirts or similar

i hope to be aroud quite alot and would be greatfull of any advise or ideas

p.s i will post pics as soon as i can my pc is down and am using a turd laptop

thanks, if your still reading, barry :mad:
