That looks like a cracker and definately worth spending a year in a Hyundai for!!!
The 318Is is the model i really wanted when i was a teenager but could only get my hands on a 318i 8v, its just not even close.
Never heard of people using Volvo front spoilers? going to have to google that, I am keener on the alpina front ends but these are bloody hard to get hold of which makes seeing Rich Hammond wrecking the one on his E30 on TG the other day even more irritating.
