undr8d_empire: Varujik's Widebody BBS Kitted Early Model E30

[undr8d_empire]

I really like it but I'd make a few cosmetic changes.

I mean it could be lower, but I think it's perfect height for the meat it has.

These are the changes I'd make: No sidemarkers, although the BBS kit is rare, I'd still shave them.

Then make new turn signal covers because the current don't seem to fit the cutouts. It looks like the cutouts are almost made for late model bumper turn signal covers? Personally I'd experiment if late models don't fit better: A new sheet of smoked plexi with orange bulbs or something to make the front end as clean as possible. Then smoked ellipsoids to tie the front end together.

Besides those small changes, it looks very unique and in a good way.

I gotta say Chris, no full straight on rear shot to show them wide tires though? For shame! :p

I agree on all ends. This was an impromptu shoot and his car wasn't quite ready, but I gave him no choice! :p

He has new Euro Smilies that will be going on, along with front and rear euro plate fillers, and a custom front splitter.

I believe he is going to make something better for the front turn signals. I also totally agree that he should've shave all reflectors.

As for the rear shot, I have one, but I was in such a rush taking the stills of his car (because I was focusing on the turbo E21 Baur that I was featuring) that the car was out of focus in that shot....

Finally a car on R3V with wide RS's that doesn't have a 195-width tire stretched on them. Well played!

Damn this looks so good. The all white bumpers make the car look very modern or updated. I is jealous.

oh and :coolphoto:

This. Stretch is cool and all, but I love the direction that Varuj took this build! :D

Agreed, but as DEVO said, shaving the reflectors would've made it even better IMO.

And thanks for the compliment Chas!

Nice! Was the turd looking one that was for sale last yr? If so he did an amazig job bringing it back from the dead! I remember seeing that widebody and bbs kit on a white e30 that was in rough shape

No this isn't that car, this car was in the works already when that popped up. I actually wanted to pick up that car just so I could have spare parts lol

The car is going to go lower, after some minor adjustments for fitment. It should all be dialed in by Bimmerfest.

As for the markers not being shaved .. It completely left me, until the car was painted lol

The kit was missing a few pieces as well, like the light covers and small caps and what not. Everything is designed to work with early models, Im gonna try to work in the facelift markers/foglight to modernize it a little bit.

The fact that this is also my daily driver makes it harder to mod cuz I'm always so damn busy. lol

any higher resolution photos?

God damn. This looks AWESOME!! I had no idea the BBS kit looked so good on the e30. The flares look perfect IMO. ANd I love the meaty wheel/tire setup. So refreshing not to see it stretched and ruined. Personally, I think ride height looks spot on.

Need rear shot!!!

[mrcheezle19]

The want is incredibly strong with this one.

[kronus]

finally, an e30 with the appropriate amount of tire.

[goarmy]

^^^ yep..

I sure like to see how those meaty tires look from a rear end view

[kronus]

I think it needs a plate filler, though.




and an S38.

[SSE30]

if an e30 and a 2002tii turbo had a kid this would be it.

+1

What are the tire specs? This is a great looking car

Damn one of these kits where at the junkyard last year, I personally thought it looked ugly but after you posting pics of your car with the kit it really changed my mind. Looks awesome!
