      I'm sooo jealous.

      Where are you going to put the switches for the rear heated seats?

          I vote you paint the recesses of the bumpers and side trim black. You'd have the hottest E30 around.

I think the factory sterling silver cars did get a shitty clearcoat though, there are a few spots where the original paint is still on my car and it looks like ass (front and rear valances, windshield wiper panel). looks like your car will be sweet when it's done, can't wait to see pics!

                    Hey Nando, I'm right with you on that one! My brother has a e34 1991 80,000 miles original owner(my aunt) and the car is Silver and never had to sleep outside- always in the cozy garage and he's got the same crap happening with his clear coat! They eventually look like city beaters after that.:pimp:

                        No, they are original BBS 3D emblem caps. The basketweave wheel and cap was originally designed be BBS and Some basketweave wheels are stamped BBS if they were actually made by BBS.

                        BBS part # 09.23.221
                        3 prong
                        exact fit, looks a hell of a lot better and you wont have to keep buying the BMW ones that fade all the time

                              Nogaro silver centers.
                              Paint matched doorhandles.
                              Doorlocks shaved off.
                              I wouldn't rock a rear spoiler, IMO.

                              Try to paint as much of the car bodycolor.

                              Can't wait to see the finished product.
