chris260 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 iv had this brewing for months cars gettin full overhaul in the build up for e38will post up reasons why when i start, and no i havnt crashed it Forgot you'd said you were doing this!Doesn't look right in this pic but i think it's because it's too high up on the tailgate, looks like you've lowered it down in the finished version, good move. Should look good when it's done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Its in the same place I think. Cause it in the pic where its on the car it had already had the bit cut out of the Lupo one and the recess welded in. I think its just cause its tidier it looks better. There no handle either.
