      Wow, nice score for $500. I actually don't mind the eyebrows on your car.

        yeah, I actually like the eye brows, I'm still iffy on the body kit though. I guess I'll have to see how it looks after the body work and new paint.

            I can't believe how many people have told me I should have kept the green accents the car had all over it. I am all for uniqueness and individuality but I typically go for a clean subtle appearance when modding cars. The BBS's will be mounted on Monday!

                      Nice pickup for $500!! Looks good.

                      Nice 1 series too!! I really like where BMW went with that car. Maybe I'll trade the e46 in a couple years for a 1 series.

                        the link provided shows a comparison you gotta scroll down tho a lil bit to see it.


                        and here is a link for a DIY http://r3vlimited.com/tech/tuck/tuck.htm

                        i'm going to do it eventually to my baby. Also i saw it the other day on another car and it looks surprisingly better.

                          Your car looks one MILLION times better with the new rims.

                          I prolly would of kept the green calipers, i like weird shit like that. I painted my starter green. My calipers will be yellow.

                              looks like you're starting off just about as bad off as i did 3 years ago. stick with it, it's worth it!

                              just a suggestion, buy your shit from a reputable euro parts dealer, internet or local. pelican has always been exceedingly quick on the shipping end for me regardless of location, priced ok, and you can get oem or equivalent instead of autozonez-made-by-god-knows-who stuff. just sayin.
