My Very Very Rare B-Day Gift

So now I have to ask, Are you going to de-value them and put them on the car? It seems to me that the value is how that vinyl sits now and not on the car, so replicas would make more sense to me if using them on the car.

I can dig it.

If that's Lachssilber, that's a very very light respray. I agree that ///M stripes don't quite look right on Lachssilber but it is a personal choice. It would be right at home on alpineweiss though. Post some pics when you throw them on.

Who cares if they are original or not? It's vinyl. It's like being excited that you found an original gallon of paint that BMW used from the factory.

This did cross my mind. I am no where close to start restoring. So when the time comes I will decide.

Sorry this is not my e30. Yes this is not lachssilber.

This is my e30. I had it for 5 years. Body is good. I have rust at rear corners and door dings. It needs lots more TLC. Interior is decent but I will be redoing them.



Also going with these wheels. I am not sure if I want to do polished, powdercoated nogaro silver with polished lip or lashssiber with polished lip. Can someone photoshop this for me.

Do you have the original paperwork for either of those wheels?

... Just incase anyone is thinking they're fake


For the record I think the stripes will look good on that colour (though a little out of place..) and your vert looks pretty clean. Just funny to see you all purist about your og stripes when you're rocking one set of fake wheels after another..

Also ditch the motorsport knock offs, the colour matched ESMs look much better than some chunky ass 5 spokes (which im sure weigh a tonn). Weaves look good on there, Just need some bigger tires and you're gold. Nice hard top btw

this could also be another example of how they could look

HOLY HELL THOSE ARE HUGE PICS, sorry guys

[lostbeachbum]

Oh and honestly I would not put those on your car. Something that rare should be saved

what I would do if you really want this look on your car is go to a vinyl store and have them replicate this decal.

I agree, then when you have it replicated be sure to send me one :pimp:

Your not serious about the motorsport wheels? I will be getting rid of the center caps. In all due time sir. Rome was not built in a day. Also these will be used as winter wheels. As far as the esm. I think they have great fitment to our e30. At this moment they do the job. Hardtop was my first purchase. Really enjoy the noise reduction. Gotta add my respect your elders sticker now. :D
