Ok so i have been trying to figure out a good set up for a custom exhaust. here is a picture of the rear. I was thinkin it might be different and look pretty good if i put a E46 M3 muffler out the back in the middle :dunno
like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... =p3907.m29

What do you guys think? If i didnt do that i would just use some magnaflow pipes.

Also i am trying to figure out what im going to do with head ligths. I heard you can use e30 ones but they dont fit right.

Anyone know whats on this car or where to buy them?

There's usually this type of mirror advertised in the front of the Total BMW etc but I'm not sure what backplates are available. Do you plates from any other models fit e21's?

I have almost the same mirrors. The one's on the grey E21 are Schnitzers I think, the ones I have are Hartge's. Here you can see them when they where on my E30...

Still not sure if they would look good on my car...
There's no such thing as overpowered...

What do you guys think of this paint idea? It will be brilliant red with flat black where the shaded areas are.

Idea came from the 1er tii concept

I have a rough idea how i would do my stripes, look below, excuse my drawing, its been years since i held a pen in my hand!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ok so the colours may not be how you want as you would choose your own colous, and the stripes say they start from the door and go over the roof of the car to the back rear quarter.. i think that is good, but the mustang stripes is best left for mustang...

Shelby nice!!! the elenor style is magnificant!!

I want the base to be Red so what colors/shades could i go with that would look good.
