Looks great! Don't put valver bumpers on leave it sleeper style!! Don't think the bmc will make a difference if it's too big will it?

well i have got the front one ready to paint so i might try it see what it looks like but the 8v bumpers are shocking there cracking where they been painted before, um bmc it will still only pull in as much air as it wants so no it will be ok :)

You didnt upgrade to valver brakes then if your running 13's lol

no there still the 1.4 cl ones i would like some g60 280mm but like you said my wheels wont fit then :( catch 22

what's it like with the 8v brakes? the gf was after a set of G60 brakes for mine but my rims wouldn't have fitted either so went for standard 16v ones with uprated pads.

its not to bad at all really cuz the car still weighs about the same as a 8v its not so clever when we went to e38 with all ther camping stuff lol but for every day driving its fine i might get some green stuff pads and see if thats any better if not the green mini lights will have fo go :( and some g60s wheels and brakes. how does your handle with better pads?

this car is mint, never wish id sold it now :( was quick when i had it, it got taken care of. very clean mate :) worst decision i ever made by selling this.
