looks like an e36 to me.

Not my thing... but workmanship looks excellent and the paint job is wicked. nice wheels too.

The airbag Steering wheel looks poo... can't you swap it for the one out of an M coupe or something?

I see a little bit of Volvo in the way the front 3/4 looks...

That looks fantastic apples Personaly I dont like the rear lights, I think the M3 EVO lights would look better, but may not fit with the overall finish of the car...... that is one hell of a paint job, georgeous... Mail me if you want the contact details for the lads at fast car magazine.

Done anything engine wise to the car, apart from the exhaust?

Apples! (probably isn't your real name I realise )

I've seen you! Remember thinking, lovely paint job and nicely done - didn't like the rear lights, but that interior looks amazing Looks like it's been done very nicely...

Only other thing I'm not sure about is the wheels, I'm a multi-spoke fan I'm afraid...but hey - that's not bad, I'm veery picky! Also love the front bumper, very mean

Anyway, sure I've seen you around Romsey, my usual haunts are Hursley/Eastleigh (I work there ) and Totton, so I'll be sure to keep my eyes open next time (I'll probably wave as well, but feel free to blank me if you're embarrassed )

Good luck with the mags...

Very nice workmanship - right up there with a lot of the european stuff (which tend to be modern "custom car" rather than "stick bits on").

I assume it's not possible to blend in some E46 headlights? To be honest, it's about being exactly as *you* want - so if you prefer those lights then don't change them for the world.

Nice work.

Cool

As regarding the looks, I really like it.
As regarding the quality of the job done, I really like it too.

It's apples' car, he asked for the car to look like this, i think that if HE likes it, then the car is perfect. Instead of saying comments on the looks, it's better if we all judge the quality of the work done on the car.

I don't like half the scoobs on SN but i never say it, instead i comment on the way the work was done. If you lot believe that you could do it better, DO ÉÔ!
This is his pride and joy. Not yours. All these IMHO.

Nice car apples, good luck with the feature.

I think it looks superb, a very nice job done on it, I wouldn't own it myself but its a very tidy job.

Agree on the lights and the exhaust though, rear passengers are gonna have sore heads if these us the rests but otherwise top stuff

that's a pimpmobile if i ever saw saw one. The rear lighs and the exhaust don't look quite right w/ the rest of the car. Whatever floats ur boat. The paint job on that mug is awesome though.

Stunningly beautiful car man. I love the paint job. Slap a big brake kit on there, and you're set.

Question

Apples, was the car built in the UK?

Looks very cool to me, though I'd ditch the steering wheel for something smaller and rear lights for OE ones.

Is it just me or is there something different about the front lights/grill/bonnet?

As an American might say "Sick ride, dude". [1]
