Topic: Update on my Red E36 Coupe Posted: 18-May-2005 at 05:55 |
I haven't been on here in a while, joined up about 3 months ago. I've been a bit busy juggling work with working on the car and also going out getting girls.
Last time you saw my car it looked a bit like this...click to enlarge
Since then its had new headlights, new carbon fibre rear spoiler, lowered, rusty rear arches removed and rolled and a new front end.
Carbon Fibre boot spoiler...
Car rear...
Front...
arch before:
arch after:
Also cleaned up my engine bay...

Very nice
Great colour and that engine bay shows an owner who cares. Nothing worse than seeing a good looking car then lifting the bonnet to find a filthy engine bay!

Next month: Rear lights, exhaust, black 18"s. The spoiler was from taiwan, I had it shipped across! It is genuine carbon fibre yep, I saw the advert on ebay!
As for women... i know they are expensive, but having just ended a relationship its nice to let them do a bit of chasing and having a bit of fun myself

Where did you get your bodykit from?
I'm thinking of getting mine brought out of 'Bog Standard' look and, until now, haven't found the right look for the car. I think you may have beaten me to it.
The lights and indicators have been done, The rear spoiler I'm keeping. The Wheels are pending all I need now is the bodykit.

It had the brackets for fogs, but I didn't want to spend out on fogs that imo could potentially ruin the bumper. Round fogs on a pretty square car don't really suit!
Wheels should be on next week, aswell as a new exhaust!

Looking Really Nice
I think a set of 18's or 19's will really set your car off Depending on your Budget. Also Projector front indicator lenses and M3 Evo Coupe back Lights, Just a Thought
Keep up the good Work
P.s Come Clean My engine Bay
