Shorty 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 Hey everyone, I finally took some quick pics of my car, now that it is manual and I have fixed the fabric on my door panels. I have retrimmed the door panels with black fabric. My dad converted it to manual so its so much more fun to drive. and the other major problem I had with it was the fact that the cat converter in it had no baffel inside it, so it sounded horrible, so dad made up a new exhaust system for me, it now has no cat and a coby middle muffler and a cooper at the rear with a twin tip, sounds soooooo much better. Since I put the twin tip on i needed to change the rear valance of the m3 bumper to a 6cyl one so the hole was bigger. When I first got it I put the 18's on it, and I had a 15" sub in the boot, which has now been replaced by two 12"s, I have an alpine headdeck, JVC components at the rear and pioneer components at the front. I originally tinted the windows myself but they didn't pass the warrent so I got the two front windows and the rear screen done and just left the two rears as they were. All that I want to do now is get hold of an M3 Evo 2 piece spoiler. Hope you enjoy the pics. comments are welcomed... can anyone think of anything else that needs to be done??

Guest Denny Crane Report post Posted May 13, 2007 Very nice. Only thing I don't like is the corner indicators. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 I like it, same as above, not really feeling the indicators. Otherwise it looks really nice! I guess you could complete the look with some Euro plates, GT splitters, LTW wing. Btw, what % of tint is allowed on the rear windows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you could complete the look with some Euro plates, GT splitters, LTW wing. Btw, what % of tint is allowed on the rear windows? I would love Euro plates, i wanted a personalised one that said shorty but thats obviously long gone as are most variations, also being a student i cant justify spending that kind of money on a plate but oneday when im not studying its definitly on the cards. I will look in to the splitters and wing. I was also thinking of the rear spoiler that goes at the top of the rear screen, but thats the least of my worries. About the tint % i have 20% on my rear windows, when the car is checked on the inside with a light meter it should be 35% so I should not have the 20%'s on my rear windows but I'm to sore pocket wise to replace them, if it fails the next warrent I will rectify it but at the moment it doesn't seem to be a problem. I know most people don't like the indicators, at first i wasn't sure whether to put them on but since I couldn't get hold of a standard clear one at the time of getting my black coupe on the road, I just stole the ones off one of dads cars but he wanted them back to help sell the car. I think they are better then the chrome backed ones, especially when they were on my 325 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shorty 1 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 mean nice ride where abouts did u take the pics looks like a mean background The background is on symmonds street. If you take the symmonds street off ramp when you go to town, you will come to a set of lights at the top of it,go straight (over symmonds st) then its the first driveway on the left, its in like a car park, very horrible pot holes in the entrance but if your careful then its all good. I used it as a backdrop to take photos of one of my mates cars and they turned out awesome so I used it for mine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shorty 1 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 nice mate. also www.germanplates.com. if you go to special deals you can get a set for US$39.95 true I will look into that would love a personalised one though but they are just crazy expensive, considering you can replace a standard one for like $20 (im probably wrong) its probably cheaper then that. But I suppose I could just get mine done on a EURO plate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I been thinking about the GT splitters, they would be awesome, but I think my baby might be too low for them, i would be dramatised if i happened to rip them off on the kerb in a car park, but they would look awesome....I'm going to put more thought into it i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
