hi guys - bit of an update
I have got a set of single headlight grills on the way - should be here tomorrow. They are New Old Stock although im in two minds if the staggared headlights should stay or not!
Also bagged some twin sidedraft inlet manifolds - need carbs and associated apparell - the car isnt slow slow but defo needs a bit of power - and i've decided that a bit of bling / shiney stuff under the bonnet will give it that extra wow when you open the engine bay.
I bought a set of alloys for the bmw the other day. kinda fell in love with them - so had to have them.
They are pretty rare german three piece rims - 15x7 et 25mm so im going to have to run 20mm spacers with stretch tyres or a 12mm spacer and standard size tyres.
probably not be fitting these for a while yet (got bills to pay lol) but heres a teaser.
im also on the hunt for a -60mm lowering kit if anyone has anything please let me know.
Stilll havent got rid of that rear spoiler yet lol.

Looks a lot neater. Think about maybe painting the valance inserts black? Change the look again whilst retaining it's originality

Had it done to my car, so you get an idea.

haha style!!! i wouldnt know what is even if it bit me in the ass. lol
Hopefully i wont muck up an e21 - i couldnt find any lexus lights for it anywhere in halfords.
That painting the bits on the valance in black is a pretty good idea you know Arshad. If you dont mind me copying it - gives me something to do too.

You won't be copying me in the slightest, it is standard E21 trim AFAIK. I see some lovely looking E21's without them painting and to me it doesn't quite hit the spot
