  • No one cared who I was until I put on the mask (e28 content)

    So I had a thread on the "showroom" section of the forums that was starting to become a build thread, so I decided just to make a proper build thread

    Here's the story of my 1988 535i.

    My brother named it Bane (hence the title; back story to that will come later!)

    When it first arrived



    Soon after we started installing the airlift set up. Took all day and night







    Things were good for a while





    And then this happened





    Because of this


    So while the insurance claims was being taken care of I got these back from Rotiform



    I couldn't wait to get them on the car


    Finally got paid from the accident so I went to Pick & Pull and bought a door and mounted the Style 19s. I ended up replacing the OEM Style 19 bolts and nuts with some RS ones from Rotiform.




    Then I decided to give Plastidip's Vintage Gold a try



    Some photos with the color change








    Somewhere in between all that I switched over to v1 digital and 3/8th line as well as picking up some Epsilons (which I sold recently)



    And then, I put on the mask
    Picked up this AWESOME Vestatec front spoiler
    I've never seen one before and I am having a hard time finding another
    That's when my brother said no one cared about my car until I put on the spoiler
    I even got a thumbs up from the man himself M. Burroughs on IG


    Last but not least, these came in yesterday




    That's all for now. Euro bumpers are on their way from Bulgaria and hoping to widen the RS' within the next couple of weeks.

      Liked everything, until you came with those boring bbs...
      First wheels or the epsilons will be way more original.

                  His instagram is @mingomarcel

                  He was working on the Epsilons until he decided to sell them. I think it'll look nice and aggressive with the widened RS'.
