eef48 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Lifted the car up 15mm Heres a couple of before and after shots. Which do you think looks better and why?and which do you think handles better.Right pic is on B&G 45mm drop coils,Left pic is on german Vogtland 40mm drop.Its hard to tell the difference but the rear of the car is more tucked under in the right pic.

Cale 36 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 I'd also say the Volckners (1st pic) IMO, don't like any tuck on e46's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 First for me too - more subtle! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Prefer the look of the first, looks better and would expect it to handle better too. Second one isn't bad (Vogtland?) but I just prefer the first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg111 13 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 I'm gonna say the first as i will get delt to by the others if i say the second haha, but yeah i like the first one anyways. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eef48 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Cool! I think it looks better as well so thats money well spent.Only had it back a couple of days but it does seem to handle better on the crap roads here in Tga.I think it helps take away that" Pimp my ride" look and the curcumference of the 19" wheels seems to follow the gaurd line so it looks a little more aggressive rather than laid back.I was thinking of putting some crome M3 grills in the gaurds "without the m3 badging".Good or bad idea?

They'll stick out like a sore thumb and make you look like a wannabe. The wheels are pretty much as much chrome as your car can have without starting to look tacky.

hotwire 352 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Agreed entirely with Yuen - you'll be heading back to that "riced" look. Great as it is & Im not a great fan of chromes normally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eef48 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Ok Ill take that as a big NO!then What about some side skirts or one of those little M style lip spoilers?I want to change the rear lights to the clear 2001 models Ive seen on trade me which seem a bit pricey.Who is a good wrecker to contact or would they charge about the same?

Lip spoilers look really good IMO. But definitely update to clear lights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
