Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 just need to decide now when I do that wether I swap to a coupe shell and cage it and swap the good bits over got 6 months to decide haha. Cheers James. FYI. when doing my 325i swap, i paid $500 for a complete Coupe shell from mosens in Hamilton so really its not that expensive, you could also buy a coupe shell and start doing the m50 conversion and keep your current car as a daily while your doing it. Then when your done swap the good bits over and sell the maroon missile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tire 10 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 Looks good mate, esp the bonnet. Smoked indicators would finish it off are you considering them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 ^ Thanks Max. Um I will be honest I think smoked or cleared lights/indicators look tacky...love the OEM orangeness. Flame Suit ON Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tire 10 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 Primes flamethrower Are you effing serious or what? The orange sticks out like a sore thumb! smoked / clear makes the car look a lot more fluid and clean. sariyuslyyyyyyyy. extinguishes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 I rekon smoked indicators clears will stick out too much imo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Well I gave it a mega clean since Boost Junky (Luke) is down in Welly so I thought I would give him the fright of his life in a ultra clean monster Looking pretty good for a 20 year old car with only one repainted panel. Am going to give it a good polish and wax next weekend when Uni breaks off for exam leave. These pics are mainly here cause apparently nobody has seen my car as a whole, just parts of it also had a piss poor attempt at some art shots...im not a photographer of still cars, moving stuff like WRC etc is more my forte Wheel alignment has changed the car, handles flippin amazing and all the money poured into that part of the car is totally worth it...especially the R888's I am really happy with how it looks exterior wise, will probably get the wheels refurbed and powder coated gloss black in the summer with the m50 swap, mainly because the paint is pretty soft but it will do for now and looks good In the middle of those pics is some new ad ons, just a tool box bolted to the floor for some zip ties , 'real' number plates, bottle jack etc etc and also the dished wheel installed, it feels so nice Still more bits to tweak, mainly the soft brakes, fit some brake ducts, harnesses and rear sway bar and this project will be done! For now.... Enjoy everyone Edited May 29, 2009 by Forrest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
