CSET

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?

Thanks mate - lots of saving & hunting for discounts on parts! Started stickering up for the theme y'day. Still waiting on some parts to arrive.

Which interior package? May be keen on door panels/centre console trim pieces. Christian 021 832 609

^^ Talent. Worthy of a like. Mod335, worth having a crack yourself mate. And order another set for shows

Thanks all - install is really easy, only took 30mins. Just gotta be careful not to destroy the standard brackets. Note: replace the standard plastic brackets with good stainless nuts & bolts or you're gonna have a bad time when someone pinches it.

Bought a carbon fiber diffuser from the states & fitted it up this week. Also fitted a black vinyl windshield banner, in prep for the upcoming rally. Most of the decals have arrived now - it's going to be a fun few days getting it ready

IMO Nissan RB or Subaru EJ have to be the best affordable Jap engines that fit the bill for mid-range noise.

Ermergerd the world's fallen over.

Just wait for the first bird sh*t. Frozen paint LOVES bird sh*t.

Yep. Also matches roof and other black parts. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Jah really happy with it aye. It might be a bit lighter under direct sunlight, but not really that noticeable. If anything it shows up the green in the side windows a bit more. Here's a couple of pics under different light with the rear tint removed:

Oh, that'd be right. Figured I had when I put them side-by-side. No matter, I transferred the handle (which is the only part I was after). Tristan: no CSL diffuser, yet. I'm still thinking about that one - pretty happy with the aesthetics as it is now tbh. Oh, here's some more recent pics. Lip removed for wrapping & tyres painted for theme: Lip wrapped and fitted up. Great job by Seth: Replaced last bit of chrome left:

Stunning photos..

Maybe one more bump because I'm lazy.
