Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 hay man, that looks sweet! a couple of small points to make it look even better! 1 - pin stripe! lose it! please? look better without! 2 - the rear numberplate - take it off and remove the jap spec bracket underneath, drill 2 holes in the suitable place and then stick the numberplat back on. Looks a lot better without 2 big ugly aluminum hook/loop things hanging out underneath!!! (these are just suggestions, but i feel it would look a lot smoother - ie no pin stripe to break the cosmos colour etc.... oh yeah and big BBS wheels or somthing!! very nice tho!) :mosh: :mosh: :mosh: :pimp: :pimp: :pimp: :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 Yea, I'll be ripping those plates off soon and sticking on euro plates. Not too sure on removing the pinstripe but I probably will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 (edited) Not too sure on removing the pinstripe its pretty easy - we removed the pin stripe on my mates cefiro project before we painted it - got strong / long nails? thats all you need man! its time consuming, but worthwhile, but im not sure if its a case of cut n polish the car after removing it or getting the affected parts resprayed. (same as removing a sticker.)what car dealers do when they get a car that needs part repainted, (ie the lower part of a door) rather than repaint the whole door, they paint part, and put a pinstripe along where the paint edge is so as not to have a noticeable difference in colour. Wankers should just repaint the whole thing in my opinion!!! Edited June 20, 2004 by Napier_E36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 I did ask when I collected my car from the body shop how much a full respray would cost, and was quoted around $3.5k which is a bit more than I expected. I'll wait til I get my E30 project to an acceptable stage before looking seriously at the E36, but all I can see in its future at the moment is M3 style mirrors, angel eyes and some ACS rims, and getting something done to tidy up the brake calipers a bit. Trying to spread money around several bmw's is going to be interesting but hey, its worth it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
