albino-jay Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Very nice motor that looks very clean. Obviously its your car if you like it fine, but I'd change the wheels IMO loose the chavvy cheap boombox and ditch the NOS sticker on the fire extinguisher. looks so baller with that hardtop tho! and in white.

Lex Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks Jay, As I said I'm thinking about getting a new set of deep dish ones, my mate got the Cades Tyrus and looks great on E46. About the fire extinguisher, I just borrowed from a friend as I have quite few wires around and I might use it just in case, anyway I'm gonna buy a new clean one. Boombox you mean the woofer? If so, I like a bit of bass in trunk, HK is not really impressive, I might upgrade in future the audio system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiksilver_TR Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Nice. Thought about turning my indicator DRLs back on yesterday, if I get chance over the weekend I think I might just sort it. Front needs to be lower IMO though.

MarkyN Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Very nice looking car! Looks super clean and fresh! Gonna look awesome in the summer with the roof off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Yes very clean looking, but as already said ditch those stickers out the back window. It's a Bmw, not an old works van. Oh and those m power plate surrounds are horrid too. I dunno why people fit them to a Non M. Its the same as putting an M3 badge on the bootlid, you just wouldn't do it would you.

Sach_UK Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Nice with the white vert, but each to their own i know but its a bit of an insult using BBS caps in 'Cades' wheels? IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_F Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 i hope mine doesnt look this high! OT just the stickers and tint on that rear screen need shifting, otherwise looks well. other wheels looked gash, so nice upgrade Lex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT just the stickers and tint on that rear screen need shifting, otherwise looks well. other wheels looked gash, so nice upgrade I hope in your area you don't have huge speed-bumps like in here. I'm still thinking about lowering it, if is lower I will hit my bumper everyday when I'm getting out of garage, and is not really the thing I want, to respray it once per week. The 5% tint on my windows is just perfect, I like to be dark inside and is good that no one can see inside. About stickers, well they're only on my hardtop as the soft top is clean. Nice with the white vert, but each to their own i know but its a bit of an insult using BBS caps in 'Cades' wheels? IMO BBS cap on them is wrong lol. But wheels are a much better improvement from those other ones you had. I bought the wheels like that. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Mark_F Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 for me, IMO, relating to cabs/verts/droptops, whatever you want to call them, why oh why would you want privacy glass and ruin the look of the car? i can only imagine that once the top is down on a nice day, people with tinted glass must feel like a pleb. i know i would. the roof would never be down. id have bought a coupe. or a fiesta. or <insert chav box here> you have a great looking car, a few things ruin it. remember, less is more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Thanks Mark_F for reply, In the summer with the top down, the windows are also down. Now I'm waiting for summer to get back on my garage and fix the body kit as I said with M bumper and skirts for a better looking.

DJ Syxx Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm thinking to get some carbon caps but I'm not sure if they'll be wrong again if they're with BMW logo as they're not an OEM BMW wheels.Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSpeak to Raj https://www.facebook.com/fullhousecustomsukHe can knock you up centre caps whatever design you want.

rickeh Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 that front bumper looks really good! the rear looks like an SE bumper, but the side skirts aren't SE? unless the vert has diff side skirts. is it reg'd as an se on the v5? quite tempted to get one of those bumpers... they're 115 on ebay now days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 The car don't have an V5 as is on different country so I can't see that, but I'm sure is an SE as you can see the interior, steering wheel, etc. I think the side skirts are SE too, they don't look like M Sport or M Style. About the front bumper, I'm not sure if is OEM or replica as the ones on eBay, I will find out and let you know. I want to get back my M Sport rear bumper as soon as possible, makes a big difference.

bungers Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 You can check whether it's an SE using it's VIN on BMW's website. It won't be an OEM bumper as they don't fit non M3 cars (without a lot of 'fettling'). I agree it needs an M sport rear bumper to sort the rear end out.
