spikuzi i really like your tech 1. Was this originally a tech 1 (just noticed the skirts and comfort seats)?
The e46 CSL/BBS CH style wheels look the nuts too, and the dark tail lights and other black bits are a nice contrast. :)

it started its life as automatic 323i , one of the first e30's that came to australia in 83/84 and was the top of the range at that time.
the side skirts are tech I, they came out in 2 styles.

Spikuzi, don't do yourself down buddy, that's a beautiful looking Tech one you have. Looks lovely.
Tech1 is probably my favourite bodykit for the E30, and yours carries it off brilliantly.
Colour great, Lambo V12... bit extreme, maybe..?

thanks gortour. i am saying this because a lot of my friends keep telling me to change the colure of the car, and i dont want to. i am trying to keep the car orginal as posible.
as for the lambo v12 its just a joke, i had contach v12 at work sitting for the last 3 months waiting for parts to arrive from italy and its fantastic looking car and it sounds mad :mad:

Guessed the V12 was a joke mate. winkeye

Just think of all the problems you'd have putting one of those lumps in... and then all the problems KEEPING it running... Lambos are tempremental lumps.

Anyway, only one person gets the casting vote, and that's Mr Clarksun... :D

Don't I get a vote for sheer determination of entering these competetions, even if people do think my touring's not worth the space while still a 316i? :(
