hopefully it doesn't peel off - used high temp paint with the first two coatings (black and then white)

at worst, can always paint back to all black! hahaha

I actually quite like that rocker cover! Congrats all you have left to do is get rid of the chrome on your car!

Leather looks in excellent condition.

Good luck!

Your car looks sweet mate, Those type 1 acs look and i like what youve done to your rocker cover.............Any more plans ?

[aceraf]

I was just about to say it could do with de-chroming before i saw the last few pics.

Looks great!!!

[320iAN]

looks smart mate, nice job
might just be the angle of the picture's?? but one thing i'd consider would maybe fit a set of spacer's on the rear wheel's, they look like they sit in to much?

[mdc]

thanks guys!

and i agree, i have to put spacers on the rear! haven't had time to buy; but that was my initial concern when i placed on my spacers for the front

more mods to come

french lights and eyelids

i dont really think that these wheels are the real deal but do look good never the less. good job. keep at it.

[320iAN]

they look like real schnitzer's? they are the same as what my mate has on his E39 SHNITZER except his are 5 stud and are 19" ..... oh yeah and they cost him £1000 a corner (without tyre's!!) .. he found out about the price when he had to replace one wheel


ive seen a few E30's fitted with type 1 shnitzer's so who know's, type 2's might have been a rarer E30 wheel to?

set o 5 stud ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-OZ-AC-Schnitz ... dZViewItem

type 1 SCHNITZERS

Nice motor.Wheel are spot on.

[joseph325i]

cool! mdc, you're finally here!

guys, i was the one who painted the head cover of this car those guys in the first few pictures are all my boys who work in my detailing shop. the pics of the breakfast funrun beside mdc's 325 is my m3

on the topic of rims, those are japanese replica ac schnitzer wheels that cost like the original 17 type1s. i know because i used to own the rims and my friend (mdc) bought it from me for dirt cheap since i dont have use for it anymore.

[mdc]

^^^ welcome my friend asshole in the hizzouse! hahahaha

now post pics of your ///M3

[joseph325i]

well as of now its all stock. i just added the evo lip and the blaupunkt stereo. i plan to keep it that way not unless a bbs hears me when i ask for 16s or 17s mesh

[Speedtouch]
