Default Boston Green on BBS

I have finally got my first car close to the point I envisioned for it over five years ago, before the car was even purchased!

I managed to find (by accident) a twin of my car to compare the difference in ride height, etc.

Thanks for the positive comments guys!

I did not get a chance to talk to the other ti owner, but my guess is the owner is not a enthusiast and probably would not of even noticed another ti!

They actually look great without them, more of an 'aggressive' look I would say. As you can tell, I like the caps on!

Haha I see what your getting at! I have enough trouble getting around as it is! This is also the ride height I drive to Whistler with to go skiing in the winter..so any lower and I may as well be hired to snowplow the highway!

Painting the rockers would look great, but I don't think I will throw any more money at the ti until my E30 project is complete.
