bmw325i 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 Its a totally different car yet still feels identical to driving a factory manual. So tight and responsive. Highly recommend Ray @ HELL BM for that one. M Shifta came from Euro Italia over in the north shore there, picked it up on the way back from Rays. Also a very good place for quality european parts. The shift did however come with a hole in my pocket and a burning wallet lol wasnt cheap but was more than worth it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmw325i 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 Have decided to put the motorsport rim project as a seperate thread but thought i might throw this on here. Gotta love what uneven surfaces do to independent rear-ends =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmw325i 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 Finally got the ol parcel tray removed - stripped the rear of the car out just about to get it out easily and without breaking something. Kinda quiet like the weight reduced driving now too . hmm lol. Anyway heres a before and after pic, cant wait to get it in and see the difference.

greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 Great outcome man. Doing mine now too. The trays out of the car, just need to buy the paint. Out of interest, what paint did you use? I use the VHT Vinyl and Fabric Dye. Works mint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmw325i 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 Cheers Nick, I used the dupli-colour flatt black becasue the vht was a gloss and the flatt gives a slightly more original looking finish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 Sweet mate. The VHT stuff I got was satin, should still work allright I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 SERIES 92 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 Cheers Nick, I used the dupli-colour flatt black becasue the vht was a gloss and the flatt gives a slightly more original looking finish. Looks great! Where did you purchase it from and how much for the can? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmw325i 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 repco, $17 got a $1 discount for the good cause. ha na im not sure why they gave me a $1 discount actually. VHT has a 30% at the moment though and they are already slighty cheaper at $15 so you can get that cheap if you get it soon. They only had gloss black at the pukekohe store today though hence the reason i got dupli-colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted November 26, 2009 Beautiful Car! Love boston green and everything else about the car, you've done a great job with it. Only thing i'm still not sure about are the eyelids ... can't decide whether i like them or not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmw325i 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2009 Funny you say that actually Ollie, just recently i've been questioning them also but like you i cant decide. I like them and i like the look it gives the car but i also like the look without them so its a win win either way but still just cant decide :S I may take them off when i make the changes im going to be doing in the next few week but will see what happens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
