hi i have never done a build tread before so may be bit differant

i reacently bought this mk2 breadvanit has been lowered in springs i dont know how much as this is how it came it is rolling on old bmw e30 steels for now the car is solid but previous owner had started to rat it witch aint my style here is a pic of it when first had it bread-1.jpg

first thing i did when arived was try and polish up the dull faded paint the car had been stood for 1 year

this is what she looked like with 1st wash and polish

still need to find a set of door strips for it but its getting there slowly

wouldnt mind some advice on what to do next and few more ideas :)

Those orange wheels it came with... I think they would look good with the red if you painted them white. What do you think? I've seen white wheels on this colour mk2 bready before and it worked really well. Think they used mk4 steelies.

i really like that orangey colour against the red!
