    Nice plate frame :D

    The car looks very nice too! I always wondered what my car would look like with an M-Tech II kit.

      By bad...looking back on the older photos you can really tell that it's lachssilber

        haha, thanks, I was wondering when someone would notice. To be honest, I've always liked your (nearly identical) car too, and it made me wonder if I should go Mtec, because I quite like the standard black plastic bumper strips. But I think once I make a few changes (sideskirts, exhaust, maybe front turn signals, etc) the Mtec kit will look right at home.

        No probs... I think that it fades over time, hence why in the old pics it looks darker. Plus I would imagine that no 2 paints (DuPont, Glasurit, etc) would look exactly the same for any given paint code...

              I'll ensure the pics get put up once it's all done (probably another few months, but I'm not too bothered as I'm in the UK 'till August).

              Any other cosmetic suggestions? I want to put some side turnsignals in to make it EU compliant, and I'll get the black part of em painted silver... your thoughts?

              Thanks... the frame is from this site: http://www.autoplates.com/ or a similar one. If you get a black one it helps to clearcoat it to stop it from fading...
              Can't remember about the tires though... either 225/45 or 225/50, I'm thinking the latter. Some people don't like the "donut" look, and prefer stretched, but I think the fatter tires look pretty decent on the Ronals. Plus you get good protection from any curb scrapes...

                Once you get the mtech skirts, your gonna be golden. A euro front plate and rear plate filler i agree would also look good. Maybe some wheel spacers too.

                          It's missing one of the pieces... but I'll replace the skirts on both sides

                          Peugeot 505... rock on dude. Is that grey market?

                            Definitely mtech II skirts. You also need to get either chrome kidneys or shadow line the rest of it. Looks good though.

                                I think it will look great with the mtech11 sides. Very OEM.

                                Not a PS of your car, but this is V's old car from my local forum. Very clean e30
