if I can get my new E36 looking half as good as yours ill be chuffed. cracking car fella. Thanks mate Blimey, an update! I took the day off work today to get some motivation going on... Lacquered the n/s rear arch and flatted it back with 1200grit followed by 2000 then 2500 and much G3 and elbow grease. Really pleased with the way it turned out, the finish is actually better than the existing paint, bmw left orange peel...I didn't! The match isn't 100% though, still slightly darker but ho hum.. Rubbed down.. Reflection shot.. Then I broke every rule of spraying... done the o/s arch..Filled/primed/painted/laquered/flatted/polished in fours hours! My bad!! In actual fact it looks damn good, just have to flat it back more as I rushed(!) it, other than that...rules are there to be broken.. No more pics as I had been outside for 10 hours and am fooked. I have my mojo back I think..

Thanks bud. I wasn't sure if the colour was too dark (I hate black wheels) but I'm warming to them now, it was either this colour or white

I like that a lot, it's 20 years old so retro enough for me. I was going to say oooossssshhhhhh on the BBS RC041's but the contours look great dark too

I liked the BBS's but wanted more dish. Another plus is the contours are a quillion times easier to clean/autosul up as they have no bolts!

Perfect! Not much more I can say. Has to be one of the nicest E36's I've seen.

E36's are great, love the look of yours. I quite liked all the yellow tint front end you had. Ive never had a 318is but ive got a 2.5 for drifting. I did have an e30 318is with th em42 engine, great fun.

Spectacular !! The enlarged nostrils do it for me, great touch. The new wheels look epic too. Serious stuff right there

Lovely, I liked the dark centres but it looks really good with the white centres. Great clean car......

Got some new wheels people.. I bought some Schnitzer reps off a 5 series, 8.5j et13 all round. Wanted some of these for ages. They came with 245/45 balloons which I changed for 205/40 NS2's. The wheels are scabby as fook though, lots of corrosion. Pics! Started on one.. and the kids old Pokemon cards came in handy :hihi
