    The paint and body is the last thing I will be doing b/c I hate working on motors over freshly painted fenders. I am debating either e30 m3 bumpers and fenders or just classic euro chrome bumpers with alpina front air dam and skirts. I have many of the parts for either already and what ever doesn't go on the 'vert will get put on my other e30 project. :) I really love vlad's but I don't think it would look the same in alpine white, I really prefer the chrome bumpers at the moment b/c I think chrome bumpers and alpine white go so well together.

      I vote tech 1 alpina. m3 look is baller, but the white wont have the same effect as would a dark color such as red or black.

      The only gripe I have about the chrome bumper, is that is just a tin sheet metal and its all form, and no function.

                Finally rushed it outside, washed it and snapped a real pic right before the rian started up again.

                  Well while not rally parts for my car, my Fiance did buy me shoes to match my interior!

                      I heart cardinal on white. Such a damn good combo. I'm +1 on not going the m3 route, simply because a I think a nice clean white tech one with alpina front would be money.

                          I thought I'd prefer an mtech over the M3 rep look until vlad posted that white vert. Now am just confused. Either way if its done up nice it will look good.

                              Started Spring cleaning in the garage last weekend, Started work on the 'vert for the year, stripped the new motor, media blasted a bunch of parts, installed some new bits, preparing for the swap now that Mike's car is out of my way. Pics will be posted as I start to go through the motor, and finally get around to installing it.

                                Great build. How much did those BBS wheels run you? They are soo hot.
