Jorge- Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Anthracite, I used to have a gold car and my plan was to fit anthracite wheels to it before I sold up. Only problem is sometimes against the colour they look a little blue. Can't find any pictures to hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 OK, there's lots you could do to the interior, but wheel re-trim and new gearstick would be enough Nav involves a shed load of work for the OEM, all aftermarkets are inferior qualtiy. Heated seats, I think it's the same deal. Very pricey to get fitted. I like the idea of the headlining though true both a good start, yea Nav n heated seats def pricey headlining would be a good touch dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamN Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 How are you finding the ride on the FK's? Wonder what they're like compared to JOM's and other similarly priced 'coilover' kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baz666 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well took a 18 mile trip to work tonight and the drive was superb smooth not to hard. I drove my boys a3 with joms on and thought they were quite an harsh ride....might be because of being a different car tho. Thanks trickster.

baz666 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Gaz do you know which one to buy...or is it just an e46 m3 wheel ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Think you can just buy an M-sport wheel and it's a straight swap.

baz666 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 ok so i need to buy one with the airbag in it. would you say mine is the triangle one as its not round to be a swap over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yes mate yours is the triangle one. The M sport one I linked to will require a round airbag. The e46 airbags came in two shapes. Triangle (for the wheel you have, and circle (for the M sport wheels and SE wheels). I think you'll haev more luck buying a cheap(ish) tatty sport wheel and getting it re-trimmed, and buying a circular airbag seperately. If you buy them as a whole they'll probably be in better condition and end up costing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
