Nice first post, welcome to r3v!
I love it all except the lip. Interior pics?

[ahrensNW]

All the money to make that touring gorgeous, and you still have a vulva lip on it. Is lip or bust on that beautiful car.

[ohthejosh]

Mount the vulva lip right side up, it looks better that way.

[MadMatrix]

Thanks guys for opinions! It's really nice :)
Interior pics... Maybe it's stupid, but i don't have actual interior pics :P
Only a few from mounting black roof lining:

BUT this pics aren't actual ;) Now i have car headrests on rear and black cover at sun roof :P
Volvo lip... Sorry Guys, but for me this lip is the most beautifull lip what i ever see at E30 ;) And probably i only add to a little splitter under this lip.
With side skirts this lip is gorgeous ;)
I want change material of seats to red from Design Edition like this:


Ahhh! At a last weekend i made some changes at cluster :)

Wtf. I've been an E30 addict for 5 years and have never seen a red design edition interior. I am in awe. BRAVO.

[MadMatrix]

Thanks Guys! I'm very happy about yours opinions!
About seats... Yes, i don't have them yet. I want make those seats from my actualy seats because in Poland original red Design Edition seats aren't available ;)

Very cool touring! Actually I'm very fond of the volvo lip suits the car very well!

Are you happy with the quality of the TA technic coils? I've been thinking of getting some for my daily e36, how to they handle and feel?

I live about 12 miles from Schaarbeek/Molenbeek, it's been a strange week here and ZERO threat whatsoever! Funny to read US media coverage of the whole thing
