a 2-'007 make-over

[Fanzotti]

I think its the painted moulding's and eyelids make this car look so modern ???

I agree man, Usually I hate painted mouldings, carbon fiber, and all that but on this car I think it looks awesome. You really did a nice job. It looks like a car that could be premiered as a new model. Your painter may have been going for classic but I feel it's more of a retro, like the vw bug, a modern interpretaion of a classic. You broke all the rules and came out shining...now if only it was a two door, but then again maybe it's the four doors that make it so cool. Nice to see someone pull of something that could've ended up so wrong.

did anybody notice the m-tech II fender pieces were molded into teh fender?

[Ray Smoodiver]

SO many things to love!

I'm stealing the smoothed m-tec look, that is plain badass.

Make more c/f lips. I. Need. One.

Is there any other way to do it? and if so who would do it that way?

[M42Technik]

Damn thats pretty tight.

How much for the splitter? Let us know!

I like the Carbon bits and bobs!

Love the white!

Is the front bumper Mtec? or non Mtec?
I want to do the same setup, but am concerned with fitament issues.


Car looks much better pure white!
Love It!

ditch the "trailier" mirrors and youre in the clear...

[Court M3]

side vent and eyebrow delete and you are a true Bigballa shotcalla!!

[AdironRider]

Dont care for the eyebrows, and the vents are cool minus the m3 logos. Good work man.

[moatilliatta]

Fresh for sure mang.

[mtechnik]

Gave yourself quite a makeover there.

*Phew*... thanks bud... i was thinkin twice bout the m3 vents (as possibly destroyin general 'feel' of the car) but yet thot of tryin it out mainly to contrast the overall 'whiteness' throughout ... (without doin retarded things like addin gigantic pink-coloured picnic-table spoilers & stuff)...but probably as i age and feel the need to be more 'classic'.. i'll remove them vents..:rofl:

.i'm still lookin for the gowdamn MtechII front bumper to complete the set up but its so friggin difficult to find it here.. i've seen some replicas but they look so flimsy & cheaply made that if pam anderson were to use the equivalent as silicon impants; her boobs will be draggin on the floor next b4 she knows it...so i've had to keep the current ones on for the mo till then... (probably it explains y the front valance looks like its sagging...)

M42TechnikDamn thats pretty tight.

i got the front spitter custom made for the equivalent of about US$175/-... not cheap but dats cos real c/f cloth was layed over the fibreglass piece to strengthen the whole structure.....(bulk order anyone?;) ;) )

but thanks again to all for yr comments... there are like probably only five, (yes 5!!furkin hell!) well maintained e30s left where i'm at and so its REALLY rare to be able share opinions/views about this car...

in all, this car is the result of the all great pics/write-ups & mods i learn from all of ya!

cheers!

The only things I dont like are the eyebrows and the black stuff on the rear windows. Other than that, it looks pretty bad ass!! I am loving the white, it looks awesome.

[rede30]

the vents work imo but the only thing i dont like is the none white engine bay. That leads my thoughts into thinking its a half ass paint job. Looks good but its why not just do it perfect?

[mockngbrd]

mmm i like the white but the side vents are not to my taste.... at least, change the M3 badging...hmmm...

some locals guys have the vents with the M3 badgings... using the 'Technic' vents instead i think ... mmmm
