CSET

Hi all, I've changed my runaround so my Corolla is up for sale. This car is in very good condition (even for my picky eye). http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=763834904 Let me know if you're keen to have a look. Christian 021 832 609

Headlamps are black from factory - the depth is just enhanced with the sidelights. Brake ducts are really easy to fit - but do require a bit of a push to get to sit correctly.

I reckon as-is, the car looks awesome. The kidneys match the side gills & wheels; If you change these black, it'd look out-of-place without changing the rest imo.

Haha I've seen worse. This was from this morning in traffic. Normally average around 16-16.5 tho, this is a fresh reset.

Yeah they're growing on me too mate. With the stripes + clear/orange corners + black & grey, there was way too much colour going on in the front-end.

That grille looks good! Any shots further away?

Haven't updated this in a while - some new bits have arrived & been installed New carbon fiber steering wheel trim. Fitting it was a bit tricky, with the torx screws located behind the airbag assembly. Can do a separate write-up on this if you need. Replaced fog lights with projectors and new housings. Old vs. new: Added a set of brake duct surrounds The purists are going to hate this one. Added new black corner lights

Yep. Part # 51 14 2 337 863

OEM M6 Performance stripes, which I trimmed to fit my bumper. Yep got a couple of stonechips, touched up already haha Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Congrats!!!! Looks very nice indeed - watching keenly for more pics

No more decals... keeping the stripes on the front bar for now.

Sorry - Mitre10. They're out of stock in Onehunga FYI (I bought it all haha)

Stuck on with the stuff below. I initially used 3m double-sided adhesive, it is BAD. This stuff sticks like sh*t to a blanket. It's about $9/roll, and you need at least 2 rolls for a spoiler this size

Sure mate, here's a few I took when changing them over: And here's a comparison from before:

Gumboot Rally #2 over - and what an adventure! The car's theme came together well over the space of a few months, and went down a treat. I've picked up & installed a couple more parts since last update too, CSL brake pads & carbon fiber rear deck spoiler to match the diffuser:

Mint silver e36 coupe in Greenlane/One Tree Hill, sporting a matching silver Bimmersport decal on the RH rear window last night

If it helps, I'm running a set of Nitto Invo's, and won't look elsewhere. Strong grip wet & dry, plus the tread pattern Free plug for H&R springs too - they give good drop without sacrificing ride quality. Don't know anything about the seat bolster inflations - may be more cost effective to simply replace the seats? This way, you could look at some nice aftermarket ones (eg Recaro Sportsters - nom nom)

Congrats - looks awesome! Love the colour!!!

This will be on the cards if mine ever lets go. I found a build of an s85 into a Z3M Coupe a while ago. Apparently it went pretty well.

It really depends on what you want. Size: 18-20" seem to be the common sizes. 20's looked a bit big on mine and rode hard, 19's seem to give a good balance of aesthetics & comfort. Colour: Complementary to your car colour (Assume it's red? White on red may look a bit 'plastic-y' imo) - Gunmetal may suit depending on other mods Brand: Depends on your budget & priorities - if you're only after aesthetics, you can pick up a cheap brand. If you're after less weight or guaranteed strength then this may be important. Style: We all know BBS LM is a classic style which suits the e46 m3, but do you want something a bit more extreme/stand-out? I like the multi-spoke CSL style, but am also partial to some dish. Heaps of options, have a look at google images for some inspiration

Awesome looking machine I have such a soft spot for the e60... in fact a dream of mine is to shoehorn an S85 into the e46 m3 chassis one day. That the gas mileage is worth every penny, right? Riiiiight...?

Great work, and stunning result

Looks stunning - the wheels are awesome. Ray - where'd you source the Supersprint please? I have a family member who'd be keen as chips for one ...

Beauty thanks - will give them a call if the OEM ones fall through. These are the ones I'm looking to order: Also, arty shot because it came out awesome.

Cheers mate. There's more on there now, have the M Power banner on the bonnet & need to order some OEM motorsport stripes for the bumper. Sponsor decals usually come out a week or two before the event, so we'll have heaps of time to sticker up. Are you planning to have a theme?
