do you know which 16v it's running? m42 or m44? BMW only started putting the 16v (M44) into a e36 4 door from 98 onwards, So it must be a conversion. Do you have any engine pictures?

thts what i m doing tomora after i pick my plate blanking strip up from bmw so i will post pix up of tht tommora :D

Needs black kidney grilles, M3/m-tech front bumper, personally think you should get another proper bumper for the rear so the rear defuser fits better and remove the rear spoiler so it looks more sleek.

Also i think the wheels with a black centres will make them look to small, maybe just a shadow silver colour with polished lips and red bbs centre cap for them :)

Am liking the whole lamin-x idea, it works realllly well :)

cheers mate considering they only cost me £117 to have done and didnt cost me a penny to get thinks i am gonna make a profit if i sell em :D

that's certainly a step up from the polo :lol:

should look sweet with the BBS's on it but i'd keep the spoiler on it tbh, they lok pretty plain at the back without them

£80 seems like a steal. Just need the right tyres and you'll be onto a winner.
