I know I see quite a few Ti's here that I have no clue whats done to them.... so post em up. a. ) do a mods list... and feel free to say what your plans are as well. b. ) pick ONE or TWO photo(s) of your car to post below. NOTE : try to keep pic sizes reasonable, I know the forum auto-fits them, but it'd be nice to keep the loading times on the page down abit. __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 05-11-2008, 03:09 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | in 2 weeks time my car will be done, so here is my list..
