Lightbulb Any ideas for my car?

I just recently bought a 1987 325e and was wondering if anyone else had one and what mods they have done to theres. I really want to keep with the europeian racing style but still want it as a daily driver. If you have any ideas or coments please shout them out. I really need ideas and opinions on body kits or skirts and any engine mods.

what u need is a drill and a small drill bit. there is shocks that hold the front bumper on to the car. and what u do is drill though the shock and then kick your front bumper and rear bumper in. because i dont think there is a single person in the world that likes the metal runing boards. the front bumper will go in about 3 inchs. and the rear about 4. it will make the car look ten times better. if u look at pics of my car u will see the differnce. and its huge. also what color is your car.
