Truthfully, I'd probably leave it as is and sell it on...but if I had to keep it... I'd buy this:  cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-750_W0QQitemZ270027141187...and transfer as much drivetrain as I could (that's a V12!) and every gadget possible that could be fitted without detrimentally effecting the character. Then to finish off a silver paint job with a black roof, a set of angel-eye headlights and mirror-polished 18" BBS split rims. |

I thought yuck to the descriptions - what a way to ruin a wonderfull classic
I was wrong and the green one changed to orange would do it for me - esp on those rims in graphite rather than chrome - awesome!!!

<excuse the lack of potatochopping - wagoneer, if you fancy it....> Theme is '60's organised crime' with a twist: - Body: Dark grey
- Roof: Black
- Wheels: 2 inch wider light grey outer/ Body colour inner steels with shiny chrome hubcaps, whitewalls to suit, with plenty of profile
- thinner bumper sections - ala 60's vw T3, lose the overriders
- High torque diseasle for cruising, running on chip fat
Also, anyone suggesting arch fender things should be shot. Alternatively, 15x15 black steels (chrome studs) with wide-body arches in dazzle camo  strip and caged interior + suitable BMW engine FTOldtimerW |

Having read the rest of the thread, did I over-do the body mods?  |

yeuch! do not like!
so... if it had to be modded... it would get a front end transplant from say an e28, lights and grille mainly, and then chocolate brown over very chromey wheels, prolly 5 spokes as chopped above (green one) cream leather interior, done.

But the front end is lovely, especially bumperless?

Filmidget - that is soooo super-subtle! Love it. I'd keep the bumpers though Straight six FTW. I reckon a very mild roof chop (max 2") would help the car a lot as the glasshouse does look pretty tall once the car is dropped so low. Just found this image on flickr (not mine) of the Pagan Princess. Pagan Princess |

I'd keep the body and interior stock (same colour too)
Slam it and add a set of 16X7 polished 5 spoke Fuch's.
And transplant the engine with a V12 from an 850
Job done!
