Well done on finding a good specimen.

The RD wheels are period correct and would have been the bees knees back in the day so you may consider keeping them.
A slight drop ...say 15mm will enhance the look if you are so inclined.

As to the rest it looks perfect.

The aerial on those cars tend to be bent by being pressed when they do not fully retract an easy fix for a diy guy.

Drive it in good health.

Thanks gents for all the comments... Loving just sitting in it and hearing her idle... Which led me to find a leaking silencer box :)

Another item for the list...

Yeah this is what I hear about the RD rims. I would like to keep them and suspect them may suit the car a little more with a slight drop but I am not 100% sure I want to adjust the OEM height.

I will tackle the aerial, it still seems to work halfway up/down.

Congrats Gav. Stunner bru.

I rate keep the RD's. I remember they were sought after when the e30's were still new.

My mate had them on a silver iS turbo.

Nice find Gav, a friend had a set of rims like these on his in the mid 90s, Back then they were known as Bavarias,

Hey Tris, Bavarias were a copy of the original Racing Dynamic design guess an old school "replica" of sorts, If memory serves, the Racing dynamics wheels had the name cast on the lip of the wheel.

Congrats, nice find!

Rims do suite the car. Remember them from back in the day, popular on the e30s.

But yep a slight drop will be good. Unless you planning on putting the IS kit?

Where can one get a proper kit from a reputable brand with such little drop?

All the kits available are >40mm, and I hate such low cars. They handle crap
