Hey guys....my 316i coupe

[E30GAV]

hi guys, im gav, im 18 and this is my pride and joy...

Ive recently bought this e30, when i bought it, it was a standard black 316i coupe, and ive been a lil busy with mods....

First thing i did, is get her lowered with a 40mm kit, which made a difference, driving style felt completely different.

Then i got a full powerflow stainless steel exhaust system, which sounds like the dogs bol**x.

Then my interior felt lonely, so.....i got hold of a full black leather recaro interior, new steering wheel and crazy sound system!!!

Then it was time for the respray!!! i decided to get the factory spoiler removed and both front and rear badges flushed. With the respray i went all out, got a full respray inside out, with all new trimmings, including a mean aggressive eyebrow!!!

While she was getting resprayed, i saw some angel eyes and had to get them!!! This made me change all the lights on the car, and i changed the rear ones with crystal clear/red ones, and i got new fogs and e36 side repeaters specially fitted.

My spending continued and i bought some 17s deep dish rims. I personally think they set the car right off!!!

Sadly, she was involved in a accident, where someone smashed into the side of her, and she went flying into the kerb....

the alloys completely cracked,
the wishbone was completely fcuked and steering rack,
One of the doors was completely fcuked
the angel got smashed with the impact

Luckily i insured all the mods
And she is coming back...better than ever, with all new mods!!!
Once the work has been done, i will post pictures...

Please let me know what you think of the car?
any suggestions? mods? styling?

cheers lads

looking good mate, i personally would recommend a set of Azev A's, like on my sport, proper old skool look.

welcome mate,looking good but your lucky the insurance didnt write it of after the crash.whats your plans for the engine side of things? any conversions on the cards?

[Gouki]

i've seen this car before, was at an Ace meet last year, i remember it because of the distintive colour. U buy it recently then?

what fuzzy said.

why dont you take the cash, must have valued it high if its not written off with that damage, ive sean less damage write offs, what catergory was it?
atleast your keeping her going and if the body work is not so rusty keep the shell for engine conversion, when your insurance premium goes down.

[E30GAV]

ye basically 1 of my dads m8 got a garage n dus insurance work, so he sorted it all out. body work is absolutely fine, no rust wot so ever.
she gona go on 4 a while.

if i was to go for a conversion, whats the best way to go about it. is it better to buy another car (325i for example) and just swap evrything over, or are some of the parts the same.

sorry its just that i havnt gon into engine conversions much, stil know the cars but i wna know what to do bout an engine upgrade.

let me know guys. cheers
