Nice car Ian, nicely done without being too boy racer!

I do like the grille (I'm not one for changing the grille but yours is nice!)

Well done chum!

Mike

Ian, is the sub in a box or is it free air. I can't tell from the picture.

I'm thinking of putting a sub in the same place in mine.

Apart from the dodgy air fresheners - have you thought about dual or quad exhausts ?

And - not being picky about the full elextrics - well I am really - the seats are manual (sorry!!!) - me being picky - you got lumber on them?

ive just had the exhaust custom built and fitted last friday, i thought of dual exit's like i had on my last car (here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/500686 ) but there's not enough room to have a decent size box on the drivers side so all i'd have got was noise  as for the seat's yip your ..(picky ).. right they are manual leather item's ... and very comfy they are too  think only sport's have the extra leg lumber (unless ordered from new?)

Just had a look at the galant - now that's nice 

I've always liked them (and pointed them out to the missus when we pass one - like she's dead interested! ) - so that's where you got the idea about the rear spoiler ?

Fair enough re the exhaust - you've obviously looked into it and chose the right option

I have back lumber in my manual seats, but not leg lumber - and yep your probably right about the sports (or ordered)

yeah the spoiler was a "cast off" from when i replaced the galant one, deffo great car's, i sold mine to go for a VR4 Galant 2.5 twin turbo 4X4 with all the safety spec of EVO's ..... after looking for about 2-3 mth's i started looking at E39's and said that if i found a silver E39 with black leather and in a cared for condition then i'd have that instead

 

needless to say "I FOUND ONE" far better than i thought i'd find for my cash at the time, i will still have a VR4 some day though

I like it, and I don't usually like moded cars (Especially lowered ones).

Entirely my opinion.....The front mesh grille, I would have lost the same amount on the other side, to balance the access hole for the bonnet catch.  And the interior blue LED's cheapen it, all IMO of course.

It now looks like a very special E39.

 Ian, glad to see you finally sorted out that body kit. The front grille suits your car, all looks well put together, which ain't easy to carry off on the e39 without spending Hamann money. I tought this was 5 series porn:
