The e36 ive got now isnt my first. my first car was an e36 coupe which was only a 316 (it was my first car! but i bought it stock from a fella who took care of it in margate and brought it home on a trailer lol




spent some time on it and money and all the work was done myself and this is how it looked when i sold it.

so far

okay so i picked up this clean 328i convertible in Montreal blue around may this year and it seemed like an honest example with only a few bits that need sorting! but as i started tinkering with the car the story was a little different heres the pictures from when i bought it the style 5's had to go straight away as the lips were ruined do regret not cleaning them up but hey!



Roof down the day i bought it!


so with the style 5's having now been taken off i had to fit a temporary set that where bough with the car i had no choice lol

thing was now able to drive across the sahara with the amount of ground clearance i had

so i had a few bits from my old car which i decided to put on the first being the headlights!

out with the old in with the ermm old
Led tail lights fitted!


kinda fancied running ambers all round so i ordered some original front and side markers from ebay



The headlights then got tinted with some funky fly eye stuff from ebay and the rears got tinted amber with ebay film!



FINALLY!!!
picked up a new set of wheels throwing star replicas and oh boy do they look sweet!
had to get new tyres for the back tho 8j wheel with 205,45,17 looked nice!


rears rubbed like a b***h the new tyres now had a smooth outer wall thanks to a trip witha fully loaded car down to hastings so out came the tools and i maxxed the camber adjustment! from the factory rear arm


simpy turned the egg shaped washe to the max setting!

the result!

DAT CAMBER
so now i had a kinda clean looking car i spent some time cleaning it up and took a few snaps before heading down to ace cafe!



so one day on the way back from asda my roof went bang literally i was outside my house the bars in the mid section of the roof snapped which meant i had to lift the roof up at the start of the opening procedure FML! and to make matters worse the day after the roof stopped mid way i reset it and fount the bars that open the roof had bent! replaced them and nothing so now ive closed the roof manually and have a no working roof any help would be much appreciated?!


while i was at the guys house who i bought the roof bars off i noticed a tasty set of seats so i snapped them up and fitted them the same day!


decided to go back to the factory tail lights tinted of course and got me a new numberplate!



a few shots on the way to top golf, the only golf that i will ever have in my life lol

OEM ambers look great on these like mine it breaks the car up more.

Wheels looks great, can't wait for some lows on this dude
