front end update

[Eric]

the front of my track car was looking pretty lame. So i decided to hide some cash from the wife (she still caught me) and upgrade the front end a bit.

here is before



here are the parts for this evenings garage time



and



after about an hour it now looks like this:D





I've got a few more goodies for the front, but they aren't ready yet. Tomorrow should be a few little things for the interior, then it's a full weekend at the nurburgring:eeek:

If anybody is interested in my build thread, you can see it here

thanks for looking!

[Fast Frankie]

i like those mirrors, where did u get them?

[JamesE30]

Looks awesome! Want to sell me your RHS mirror?? (RHD in Aus:))

IMO, they would have looked better black. Fresh white kinda stands out from the old white

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

you should also re-spray the valence.. would look great

Not for nothing, but the valence needs to be re-sprayed too.

That's the same thing I was thinking!

there is only one mirror in the picture, but i like it double as much as stock ones, so i guess we can count it as plural.

I only had enough change for one can of white. and i wasn't really feeling tearing into the front end just to plug some ugly holes

i like those mirrors, where did u get them?

a junk yard actually! (that is why there is only one, the door was missing on the other side)

never got it. buy the CF replica's made in the states

yeah it does, but it looks way better being a bit off than with nothing there. the front is nice to look at with the camber and the lip and no big holes. I was thinking of black, but i'm trying NOT to do the panda look, so i'm trying to keep the black accents to a min. Soon the side mouldings will be back on and the lower rockers will be black so that should even out the whole car. the grill is getting some more black too :)

you should also re-spray the valence.. would look great

Nah, i'll spray the new FG one i get from the check repulblic that weigh's 3 pounds. until then that valence isnt' moving

Not for nothing, but the valence needs to be re-sprayed too.

see above and above above

Is that an I lip and an IS lip??

Yes :D

thanks man! I really like the 4 door. so much easier to crawl around in, and looks better too

I should be getting some cool pics tomorrow!
