748adam Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Big updates coming! Fitted new bottom arms and drop links at the weekend, along with the bc coilovers :-D gotta take the fronts off to clean the threads so I can go a tiny bit lower, now the rears have settled the rear is too low especially on the right hand side due to the full fuel tank (any way to stop the massive drop other than running with tank 1/2 full?) Next on the list is new rad and expansion tank as it's bowing a lot more than I thought, Then the m sport kit re spray, then I can order the red dye for my kiwi m3 interior!! Hopefully big changes this year! When I look at the pictures from when I first bought her the difference to me is massive! Still undecided if the wheels should go silver?

glmec Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Adam you can different size rubber coil spring pads that fit at the top of the rear spring. Just get a thicker one for the rear drivers side. I think the standard ones are 5mm, I got one from BMW, think it was 10mm and only something like £7 or£8. That extra 5mm on the pad doesn't sound like much but it lifts it more than this. Cheers Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-B Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Looks sweet, as for the wheels I think you should go silver really. Not a fan of dark wheels on a silver car, currently having a similar dilemma as you, wether to go silver or white on my 32's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Lovely mate! Where are the headlights form? Are they plug and play units? 748adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
748adam Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 They are umnitza angel eyes and are easy to install once the headlights are split, not quite plug and play but real easy to suss out. They look blue in pictures but are ice white in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

748adam Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks Allan, should look a million dollars when it comes back from BMW, having the M sport body kit repainted and some rear arch warranty work done, think I might just bite the bullet and get the bonnet and wings done at the same time, £900 all in though!!

748adam Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Will be getting it booked in for after the house move, I want this to be immaculate then I can think about the big break kit and in my dreams a super charger!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
748adam Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well she's had her paint work done, looks on point now, getting a friend to give it a proper detail and protect with c quartz. More updates this month include retrimmed gear and hand brake gaiters from Jack at royal wheels, also got a m sport steering wheel from him, absolutely top notch work! Stunning to feel, just need a lower trim before I can fit it. Also ordered some clubsport splitters but don't know if I'll fit them as I think it will be a little too low? Front discs are getting a little tired so know would be a perfect time for a big brake kit! Radiator will also get replaced. Oh, found myself a silver grey trim piece on ebay, brand new and I got it for £2! Never seen it before and now thinking of changing my full trims to this colour, opinions welcome, do you think it will suit a red m3 interior? Anyway pictures!! As my trim is now A shade or two darker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evokid Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Good work, not a fan of black wheels either but love the rest of it :-) how much did the wheel trim cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
748adam Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 The wheels will be redone in silver or dark grey I think, I think the retrim cost £170 but not sure as I forget how much I get back on the exchange basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
