There are some pretty distinct tuning periods, such that you can generally peg the time frame that a car was modified if it was “cutting edge”. For example, when I saw this 2002Ti pop up on eBay, I immediately thought it was a late 80s/early 90s modification. Most of that, to be fair, came from the dated wheels, but the boxy styling, attempt to update the grill and paint scheme just said to me that M.C. Hammer may have been playing in the background when this car was revised. And like early modified cars and even more recent examples, dated mods sometimes make a bit of a mess – and this car certainly looks dated to me. Despite that I think there’s still a lot to like here; the base is a clean 2002Ti, the box-flares aren’t horrible and inside there are some great Recaros and a Zender wheel. What would you do with the rest?

EXTERIOR
Although the paint is about 15 years young, it shows quite nice..!
there is plenty of shine and well cared for. Modified with fiberglass
front and rear flared fenders.
In the rear molded bumper there is a white reverse light as well as
a fog light. The front bumper is also molded to the front flared fenders.
Side squirt flares on the car. It also sits slightly lower in the front giving
it a great aggressive look..!
ENGINE BAY
The 2.0 Liter engine has plenty of power, the dual Weber carburetors
are in perfect synchronicity. The E21 Transmission shifts smooth with no
grinds at all. Recently replaced all the fuel lines in the engine bay.
The Weichers front shock tower stabilizer improves greatly the handling
on the car..!
INTERIOR
The unique dash has plenty but very useful gauges. Every single one in
great working order..! The high beams, low beams, signal lights, reverse
lights, cigarette lighter/phone charger, horn, dimmer lights all in
excellent working condition..!
The Lenden steering is super comfortable. Car is dressed up with
clothed Recaro seats. There are no rips on them at all… The heater
functions perfect..! Momo stick shift gives it a sporty look.
Carpets are also in great clean condition. The floor mats are almost
new. Driven only a few thousand miles since its importation.
UNDERCARRIAGE
The bottom car is very clean, the only area that I have observed a bit
Of rust is in the front passenger side frame. In my opinion an easy fix.

Happy Bidding..!
Generally, I’d prefer a more classic 2002 modified in the style of the Schnitzer or Alpina cars, but there’s potential here – it’s clear a lot of money was spent on customizing it when new. I think if you were to paint this car a more sedate color combination, for example like this Gulf Blue model, the flare would stand out rather than the color. I’d probably return the car to a single-headlight grill with some round Hellas, too. Couple that with a more classic set of wheels, like these BBS RAs, and the outside would to me look much better:
There’s a mention of an E21 transmission, but no indication if it’s a 5-speed update – though I can’t imagine that you’d go through the work of the swap and not grab a 5-speed while you were there. Mileage is lower and the car appears to be very clean overall. The pricing is a bit high for a car that needs some re-customization, but I think it could be a neat car if properly updated.
