nevkid91 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Can I ask how did you feed the RCA's from the amp to the hard unit? I'm doing an install this week and that's the only thing I'm unsure about. Also if I got new trim would they also do that? I couldn't get through this morning will give them a call later The RCA's from the amplifier to my kenwood was run down the passenger side. Had to remove the trim and rear seats, side doorcards, under the glovebox. and wire it through. Didn't take that long to be honest. They can also do trim like the door cards, and you can select any colour you want but at the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevkid91 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Whilst just receiving and fitting the 3sdms 0.01, my friends Adzman1 was getting rid of his E46 convertible and selling the parts. The moment he stated his wheels were for sale I jumped to get them! We did a direct swap as he needed 3sdms for a friend so it was a win win situation. I'm running standard suspension atm for various reasons (keeping that a secret) so just fitted some 5mm front spacers to clear. Photo credit to Adzman1: The cars lined up for the swap. We needed bricks as Adzman1s car was completely lowered! And here she was once swapped and fitted. Oh and private plate added as well and finally, what she is going to look like once I get some lows in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockman_321 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Those wheels.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevkid91 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Had the EGR and maintenance work carried out! Towed it to the garage with a spare tow hook I had (got a couple to be honest trying to find the one that fits flush) Just my mate in a honda civic really rubbing it in about Japanese reliability And work being done to fix it. Excuse the red foglights, they are off wasn't really feeling the look and quiet illegal! Edited January 22, 2015 by nevkid91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevkid91 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) The next thing had to be tinting the reverse lights and foggies. Some people quiet like the full red tail lights, but for me smoked rear lights are better First thing was first, I got all the rear lights removed and covered up the rear (cant trust this UK weather at the moment) Then got everything taped up before tinting: Then finally on a warm day the tinting was completed: And the rear finished. I was in love The rear diffuser was also sprayed gloss black to match the splitters. Defo my cup of tea. A little before and after for comparison: And I couldn't call it finished without fitting some bright CREE LED reverse lights: Edited October 13, 2014 by nevkid91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevkid91 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Many of my friends and family frowned on this calling it money wasting but I changed the black leathers... So i went down to Basingstoke to collect the seats and doorcards in pretty decent condition. Had to borrow dads Ford Galaxy: And them all fitted into my car: Definitely was what I was looking for.

nevkid91 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Before I had the opportunity to get the the red leather I originally had different coloured footwell lights (blue) http://vid1277.photobucket.com/albums/y487/nevkid91/footwells/IMG_9700_zps0c97700e.mp4 Then changed to red to suit the seats: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate and no problem. There's an elderly lady working in there and she will definitely take care of you and has very good experience working on convertible BMW's oooh no no no red leds are a bit barry, but its your car Every man to his own wanted this colour scheme to be honest. Something different. Definitely want to drop it but air suspension is the only way I can drop it with the horrible speeds humps everywhere especially on my way to work. Need more help with this though to pick which is best and quality fitters. M3NXN and cos01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
