C'mon people help this guy out..

He's after some money for Uni right? So let's say we all put in 5 into a kitty, with the number of members we have that should generate a bit of cash and hopefully meet his reserve price.

Once "we" own it.....

Torch it.

It's a sin on E30's.

End of.

You haven't son, you haven't. In fact, I think you're wise beyond your years.

Funny thing is, back in 1977 when I was your age OTT body mods were all the rage then too. Instead of Max Power we had Custom Car.

I guess fashion (and stupidity) just go in circles.

thanks. Considering I'm only 20, i dont think Ive done too badly. Its hard not to modify it OTT, because most of my mates own stupidly done up cars. Its only taken 2 years, one engine, one interior, one new bodykit to replace the old one, one respray and over three times the amount payed for it in the first place. Nearly there though eh!

That cadburys one doesn't look too bad, although I wouldn't want to own it.

The thread one made 700 odd quid.

Max power!!!!! All that money and they didn't even put leather in it? Looks like the passenger has thrown up all over the door builds too.

Sorry not my cup of tea at all but each to their own. Didn't Brian Harvey (East 17 fame)  have a similar body kit on his convertible?

...well... think it speaks for itself really...

"The reserve is 850 and i might lower it a bit more, as i already bought another car and i need to get rid."

He needs to get rid... probably damaged his street cred - that is if he had any - if he didnt, after that he will never get any...

And those rear lights... its just too much...think burial is a good idea...

Hi Guy

If you went to the BMW Show at Donington you would have seen Ben Lartys Reiger convertible as the main display car on the E30 Register stand

Hey peeps,

do you think that modifying e30s is a big no no? I agree, that looks pretty crap, but its not all bad surely? I'm only saying that because my car has the full Reiger GTS bodykit on it (even the side skirts!) and I wouldnt wanna be slated if i was to roll up to one of the registers meets. The problem is, you can never please every body!

I still cant understand why someone would choose to do their ironing on the back of their car though!!!
