Brad smith Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Yeah I'm seriously tempted to just get them. Think they were £60 but just made sense as they were a direct fit, bit annoyed as they look as though they are going the same way as the old ones.

I won one of these on eBay but the seller turned out to be a complete waste of my time and never posted it. He never replied to my messages and in the end I had to open a case and received a full refund. I was gutted as it was a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad smith Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 So today was the day I fitted my coilovers and Simota. All sorted now though ! Rears old vs new Fronts old vs new Few of the ride height after, not finished still will probably make a few adjustments but I'd had enough for today ! I'm pleasantly surprised I thought I wouldn't get on or off my drive but I was find also took it for a little drive went over a few speed bumps and I was okay. So I'm really happy. Ride hasn't got worse probably better and handling is defiately better, however yet to give it a proper test. Pics anyway cars filthy and only the driveway nowhere interesting And finally the Simota!!!! And the sound !! Can see me putting quite a bit more petrol in now [emoji16] gaz-777, TERKIN, R11CH and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R11CH Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Good upgrade on the suspension and simota! Looks as though the rear could do with coming up a little but other than that it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennno2005 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Looking very good! If you haven't had the car aligned yet get it done - made as much difference on mine as changing the worn out suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad smith Posted June 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Thinking of getting this set as a few precausionary measures. Would there be anything else I would need. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Offer-BMW-3-0-Overhaul-Kit-Incluidng-Vanos-seals-DISA-Valve-Lug-bolt-Guide-/151049799725?hash=item232b45082d:g:QysAAMXQO21RniRf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz-777 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've just painted my grilles gloss black and I want the rear diffuser gloss black too. So I would say do it 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R11CH Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Do it! I had my front lower grill, foglight surrounds and rear diffuser all painted gloss black and it made a hell of a difference. All nice and shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
