Nice one mate thats miles better, Are you going to do the rear lights too?
Im going to look at a black e36 vert tomorrow Only downside is that its a 2 litre.
What engines in yours? I keep thinking this vert tomorrow will be slow as ive got a 2.8 atm.

the 318/320s are very slow but to be honest a convertible is more of a posing car, if u wer bothred about speed ud go for a bigger engined coupe which will have the same insurance as a lower engined vert
