Replica with all S14 goodies

Thanks to all. Not a body kit, cost in the high teens, i can handle criticism, i am happy with it, and having it parked between two real ones and not noticing the difference its even better, i am very happy with the end results, i just did not think of getting the real one at the moment it was being built, just had in mind of making it as close as possible to the real one.

Ben Careful, Thanks for the comments its all good, as far as the badge goes, its a replica, its not just the badge, if were to remove thins that do not belong to the car i would have to rip appart.
Here are pics of real ones. Rec and Silver, white is mine.

I Dunno man...its a pretty fucking good rep.

+1, i for one wouldn't care that it wasn't real if I owned that.

I like the fact that you straight up state that it's a replica, and a damn good one at that!

I understand what you're saying. I'm glad you can handle my comments better than most of these little R3v teenagers.

My only point is that it is a replica, albeit a great one. Look at how Superformance badges their Shelby Cobra replicas. They use a Superformance Cobra badge instead of a Shelby Cobra badge.

That's all.

the M tech II spoiler on the red one looks like sin.
On the other hand, your car looks beautiful. you have any motor shots? How long did it take you to put together?

Teenagers, right Ben...

22. Act your age.

That's kind of the point of a REPLICA, is to make every attempt to make it look like the real deal, including the badging. We have a 1929 Mercedes-Benz roadster replica, do you think we're going to take the Mercedes-Benz emblem off of the hood because it's not real? No, that's what makes it a replica, trying to make it look authentic. Seriously, put the ///M-Police bullshit to rest.

That car is badass, and it's THE only M3 cabrio on the forum, real or not. He's got more of a right to put that badge on that car than any of the guys that have M-badges on non-M cars.

Just to quote you. Again, look at what Superformance does to their Cobra replicas.

I'm not saying the guy has to do it, I was merely stating my opinion. I didn't see a note in his original post saying "Please don't post your opinion here". The car is gorgeous, either way.

This has to be one of the coolest E30's we've got on this site. I'm endlessly curious about it!

So what was the car originally? Was it a standard E30, or an M3 with the top chopped off?
