      remember one thing guys - this car was done on the budget, I did not want to swap the s54, do coilovers or Brembo brakes like I did so many times before, this, after all, was a Recession special :D

      I have spare black bumper trim but I don't like it, white trim makes it look more like an Mtech, in my opinion of course. Besides, there are a couple of other white 2dr coupes on type As with black trim on R3V, so I wanted to do something else. Painted Euro trim would be nice, but this was a budget project, well, kind of..

      PS: I hate painted door handles :down:

      Drove the car for the first time today, drives so nice, I was surprised how docile the M42 with the chip is, of course it's not the s50B32 but still, very nice. Looking forward to finish it next week and take it on the photoshoot trip

                    I have the same seats as you sans the microsuede. Was it a local guy that recovered them for you? I love the way they look, and they'll match the rest of my e36's interior.

                      I like, but I feel the smoked lenses around the car are a bit much without black trim, they stand out too much, and with trim the would blend. Nice build though.

                        Needs euro trim, fog lamp delete panels, pass brake duct rigging and SMOKED turn lenses to match the headlamps, those look nite-shaded...but other than that Vlad, it kicks some serious ass. The Borbet's set it off, I see alot of these in Germany and they never get old. Deep Dish FTW

                              I'd much prefer black trim around the car just because it needs the contrast. My philosophy is that if its not an M-Tech II kit, don't try to make it look like one.

                              I do however love the black carpet on the interior, it came out very good. I really like the tails as well.
