Unfortunately his car is an automatic! the only thing wrong in an otherwise well rounded car. Out of interest Ron, what mods did you do/know off that you are referring to? Mines a manual and I'm interested to hear Edit: Just for those interested, Abi's car is the silver 328i in here http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....=42762&st=0

http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....c=41807&hl= Perhaps not the exact wheel... but you get the idea

Cheers Julian. Will probably need to do exactly that as Team McMillan haven't got back to me. But to do my swap I'm waiting on the actual carpet under the mats. Figure it will be a bit weird with everything black and a grey carpet then black mats on top of that haha. Seems impossible to source in Auckland atm!
-
Love my bikes too, just that cars trump them for me! Still got any? Had to get rid of mine, but its tempting to get another with better weather around the corner...

The plasti dip phase didn't last long. Peeled it off and was surprised how easily it came off, nearly in one piece. Managed to score myself a genuine IS lip but for reasons unknown I think I am going to stick with the Volvo lip. Car is in the garage at the moment getting a 4.4 diff fitted.But here are some old pics
-
You doing it yourself? Once you have details, PM me the cost haha
-
Nearly there. I have everything except a black coupe carpet to do the black swap over. Not easy to come across!
-
Looks good! Wheels will look sick with a rebuild.. You going ahead with the m50 swap?
-
Cheers bro! Btw if you're still keen on an IS lip... Hit me up I sense you don't like our direction
-
Haha I wish I knew how to edit pics... I did try snapping a few but the camera had too many settings Funny you picked one of the iPhone pics lol
-
Last month, we had a mini meet with a few friends and Marty came along and was kind enough to bring his camera for a few shots. Weather was shitty as but we did the best we could. Couple of iPhone pics in there, sorry for their shitty quality! And I believe there is more to come... As usual all C&C welcome... I think...
-
Prices are extremely reasonable too! Ill be trying it for sure on my vaders.
-
You sorted the radiator for 8M3 I'm guessing? Bet they turned a few heads!
-
Its the thin, facelift lip.

Chuck up pics of the Escort too! -
Haha I guess everyones opinion differs on it. However I can say that the person who bought it off me is a member on here and his cars are definitely tastefully lowered

In case anyone here is interested. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-529671929.htm

Looks good. Love the colour. Maybe just the front lip to finish up the front end?
-
Looking forward to seeing it on Sunday. Doesn't look like it needs it but I MAY have some autosol lying around if you want to hit the wheels with it.

Been a while since I updated this... Fixed a jumping fuel gauge. Other than that no big improvements besides general services. Today I swapped back onto the original chrome kidney grills. Really in two minds as to which suits more haha. Going to clay it as well as cut n polish it tomorrow! Oh and also followed Tristan's lead and plasti dipped my wheel. Only done one so far and again mixed feelings about whether I like it haha. Probably going to get the clear coat (glossifier I think they call it??) and see how that looks. Gonna be a b*#ch to keep clean! Ignore the overspray on the tyres, I was too lazy to mask and even lazier to peel
-
How are you planning to dye the carpet?
-
Would definately look the biz if done right!
