Will stuck a picture of this:  ...in the NR,NR thread. This car needs words. I genuinely believe that all cars have potential, but in this case, the mods done shouldn't lead to something as 'right' as this. I was talking to someone about this recently - thinking of things to do to cars isn't alien or particularly difficult for me (or at least, the process is enjoyable enough to not seem difficult)...I like to think that even on a restricted budget I could create something cool - the true test, for me, of a great car is when I look at something I wouldn't have done and wish I had. Anyone know any more? |

That's really nicely done - a classic example of a forgotten car generally thought to be lacking potential that turns out to be so very right with just a few touches  |

That is a lovely thing alright and something I would never have given a second look at - even when they were new they weren't nice. I have seen a saloon one here dropped on minilites that piqued my interest too. Everything has potential? It appears that in the right hands everything does

...something I would never have given a second look at... You're so right, I wouldn't have considered this as a base candidate for modding for one second. It works, though, it really, really works! |

Surprisingly popular though, only one E90 on the Bay of E, and already over £400 with 5 days to go!  [ |

Now I'm torn between Equip 01s and 03s. Damn.
Anyway, that is very nicely done. Clean.

I'd never even consider a 5-door .... anything, actually, on the basis that only saloons and 3-door shapes respond well to modifying. This just goes to show how literally anything can be done, with care. It would've been very easy for the owner to carry on adding skirts or other tat and ruin it, but he's managed to pull it off by doing exactly the right amount. Optimo!!
