Good god this is epic.

Yeah, Jon, that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking? But is that a super duper custom job, or can it be done easily? Like what? I'm not to clued up on my JDM goodness? :o

The thing is, I totally understand why someone would buy a set of BBS RS wheels, they're gorgeous and they stand out from the crowd. On any generic Bora/E36/whatever, then it's not too bad spending a few grand on wheels, because the car isn't going to sap up any more heavy money anyway, other...

Someone that understands, finally.

Seeing as it's my car, I'll put what I want on it. Turinis maybe? Or 2118s? LOL @ "just save up" it's two thousand pounds! I would sooner spend that on a respray. Reps will be fine if that's what I decide to go for.

Ahh didn't see that, I literally only looked at the price and time left! Well I don't want 13" either!! Haha

Alpinas are okay, very mildly successful drug dealer though. Plus they'll go for a fair whack, considering new genuine ones are £450 each.

LOL @ the faux millionaires saying genuine BBS are the only way to go or nothing. The banded steels look brilliant tbh, they would need to be exactly the same as my current ones for it to work (obviously not 13's though!) Anyone know if you can have banded steels with a chrome/polished lip...

Yeah I'm going to look into banded steels, they certainly haven't been discarded! I just can't warrant £2k+ on some wheels, no matter how nice they are!

It'll never be fast, so there's no point in chasing power and lap times. I'd prefer it to look good first.

You saw the price of them, right?

Most likely to be BBS RS, unfortunately they'll be reps :dapprove: Genuine 15's in 8 & 9j go for crazy crazy money.

Just costed up how much those GAZ Golds and topmounts would have come to, had I gone for them new. The struts have to be 323i ones, as the coilovers are too big for 316 ones, so I would have needed donor parts, potentially from Germany. It all came to £1480, not including overseas postage for...

Best of luck with it. Look forward to seeing progress pics.

Yeah, I still need to see your 5!

LOL. You know me. They're a great price, and as per the bodykit, I couldn't let these go as they would've been snapped up within hours. Typical that expensive bits come up for sale, just when I need to be focusing on other things! There's no rush on the final build, so if it takes a little...

Okay, so some money has been spent tonight. Still not on the ignition system, but f**k it, who needs that eh?! :o Anyway, the purchase was: Coilovers :D GAZ Golds to be precise. Very few manufacturers make coilover units for the E21/E30, and fewer still are sold in the UK, GAZ are pretty much...

Each to their own. Stance has it's place imo.

Don't like that they're different colours to start with. That said, the anthracite side looks a lot better, the height is brilliant too. Very nice, overall.

LOL @ not liking an Aston because of the steering wheel. Reminds me of the "would not bang" pictures.

That bit might be acceptable. But if anyone has anything that isn't VAG on site, I would dig my heels in.

If they say you can't park on site, because you have an Aston, I'm sure you could sue them for discrimination of some sort!

LOL! Very true on the "who your real mates are" though.

18 would be much better, like last time. A chaotic grid sorts the men from the boys.

I would agree with you, but then we would both be wrong. Retro goodness is good. I've got a bazillion things lined up for this now, the Classic Car show has given me hella-inspiration.

Some more love for the BBS bodykit :o I think it looks fantastic without the side skirts ect. So potentially, it will be similar to the one above, in just having the front bumper! Also, this weekend I went to the Classic Car show at the NEC, while I was there I decided to join the BMW Car...

Thanks mate, I hope you enjoy your time with it :)

Car was collected by it's new owner on Saturday. It has gone to a nice young chap off here, so it will be staying on the forum. Absolutely loved my 15 months or so with this car. It's certainly had a good life with me anyway :) First Detail: Stripes: Scotland: Light Trails: Rig...

Can we promote this in the Yorkshire section maybe? We're not going to fill 18 places at this rate.

Yeah but I couldn't find anything soon enough, most were ages away :( Oli's dad can weld, so I'll get the equipment, and I'm sure he can run through the basics with me :)
