New Joiner - BMW E21 from Portugal

[P_e_a_R]

Hey, from Portugal too!!

Don't do much to the car! The colour, don't fuck it, leave it, please. It's fantastic!

About 15'', forget them! If you want to have minimal wheel gap and a little ground clearance (I bet you want), go for 16''! you should buy the wheels and tyres , roll with them some time and that legalize it! Don't do the homologation now.

The recipe is easy:
1- Lower it,
2 - Some 16'' vintage wheels,
3 - Some nice tyres on it.

But is it true you can get lower on air than static?

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Static or air is your choice, and you'll find fans of both on here. If you're going to go for a static setup, the adjustability of coilovers is absolutely worth it versus lowering springs.

[JohnnyStance]

Are you all big fans of air systems for suspension, or do you recommend sg else also? Coilovers maybe? Thanks for the input, since I am starting that decision process...

[JohnnyStance]

My first impression on the color made me love it... but then with time it felt like lacking some aggressiveness. But it might be due to the overall height, I guess.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

That color is phenomenal. Please please please keep it!

[TheNeek]

Yes, it is! It doesnt look like on the two last photos... "hipstagram" blame

it's quite a desirable color. I wouldn't repaint it unless it were in bad shape.

[TheNeek]

That's not Reseda Grun is it?

[JohnnyStance]

Thanks guys!

[oilcover]

Car looks amazing already! Love the color.

[JohnnyStance]

Im starting by the legalization process for the 15" wheels. We have somehow strict laws here in Portugal regarding that. An then the coilovers for the initial stance... at that point I might be able to know if I like the color or not.

[Simply Classy]

I really like that color! The car looks clean too; can't wait to see how this plays out!

Welcome to S|W

[JohnnyStance]

The starting idea is:

Outside

Coilovers, wheels and 4 lights grills. Mostly keeping it simple... not sure about the color yet...

Inside

Steering wheel, gear knob, seats and so on...

It's my first approach like this on a car, I usually do motorcycles But well, rain sucks, and there's no such thing as driving something stock.

Cheers!

Welcome! That looks like a solid start for something awesome.
