Looks really nice Gary. I'm a bit miffedt at why they havent blended the Tech 2 side skirts into the arch to make it look natural. As it stands, it looks obvious that you've had your arches extended unless you wanted that look? I'm in Holland at the moment, but i will post a couple of pics of my Msport up when i get back so you can see what i mean. Looks fat though :wink:

I appreciate all the work done to get the 20's on but it must drive like a pig? Tramlining all over the place?

Not too keen on the front bumper or the rear number plate thing you've got going on.

As long as your happy with it though it dude. :cool:

and the thing going on between no,plate is my exhaust.

that looks sweet, do the big brake conversion and get some serious power to go along with the big wheels and you'll be laughing winkeye

Who cares if it tramlines or handles badly its not intended as a track focused car :roll: , you can't deny he's done an awesome job of this E30, it must have taken so many hours of work to get the car like this :cool: , fairplay to you mate i think you've done a stunning job :clap:

It'll only tramline on poor roads with tram like surfaces. Plus tramlining is more to do with width rather than alloy wheel diameter.
