Your car looks great NOW!


Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Cheers Guys

Some good comments.

Im still thinking about losing the M/Sport front valance, and having standard chrome bumper.

Got a set of chrome mirrors arriving from Canada soon too.

I think a bit of chrome will look really nice on your car. I'm thinking of fitting a BBS front spoiler to mine when I have it painted.

Looks sweet dude, really like the motorsport front spoiler with the single headlight grille, exactly the same as mine! Definitely an improvement going back to the original indicators and headlights as well.

Can you stick a side on pictture up, would really like to see how those wheels suit the car?

Much much better! How did you get the chrome on the windows done in the end? I'd say changing the exhaust is the next priority, get some smaller pipes on there!

cheers guys

dont think i can bring myself to replacing the exhaust, it just sounds way too good!!!!

I want a happy balance of performance with original looks.

Its got a 2.5 E30 lump in it, so it runs nicely with that exhaust system.

Regards the chrome trim. I had a donor E21 and carefully prized the trim off, and reattached it to my car.

Will be getting some trim for front and back screen, might attatch chrome door mounted wing mirrors and see what it looks like with standard bumper and front.

I think I'd leave the exhaust too! At least until it needs to be replaced or is it stainless? The exhaust on my car is one of the best modifications I have made to it. It just sounds like a standard system till you floor it and then its like a whole new car! :lol:
