rolls_on_19 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Well this is my 318is with 19 inch chromes. Pretty rough but i'm just doing it up. The last owner treated it like crap. He thought the best way to fix an oil leak was to put about 6 litres of oil in cos it took longer to drain out Edited January 9, 2006 by rolls_on_19 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rolls_on_19 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Plus it's manual. Next plans are for a low pressure turbo. It's in the build. It's got awesome A/C Schnitzer springs in it and it's as low as it can go in the front. Spacers needed for more drop. Back can go down more. I removed nearly 200 kg out of the interior just by removing sound deadening and carpet with no real noticable increase in noise. If you're after some interior carpet give me a holler, i might have wot you're after. Edited January 9, 2006 by rolls_on_19 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiss 1 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Yeah dude, actually while Im no chrome fan, I really do like the chromes on your Beemer - must be the colour of the paint that makes them suit the car or something. Anyway, as long as YOU like them, it really doesnt matter what others think. Boy that must be some heavy carpet to way in at 200kg - either you meant 20kg or it was full of water But yeah, that sound deadening material is real heavy and I was considering doing the same thing to reduce weight. One more thing - the blue and red lights on the rear parcel shelp - whats with that??? Edited January 9, 2006 by ducatiss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
318is 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 As above said, we love our cars in our own way I'm a bit a BMW purist, as in keep it in the bonnet and suspension.. MY personal opinion , is LOOSE the $5 repco flashie lights on the rear parcel tray. The chromies, if you like it, power to you man. Drive your BMW with pride and show to all that not all beemer drivers are, ummmmm... jappa rice speed homies!! :mosh: :mosh: :mosh: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rolls_on_19 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 Okay now. Those lights were from the 2 dollar shop. We had them in there on new years drivin round the local beach. They were only there for 2 days. The numberplate surround is to replace the missing trim in the front where a europlate should go. I know it looks crap but it's so much better than it was. Once i sort out new front kit i'll sort out something better and more permanent. Trim was painted by me. I know it looks crap. I've just been trying different colours just to check them out. I photoshopped them a couple times but i preferred to see it on the car. The guards were done by vicegrips lol. I was at my mates workshop when i lowered it. I baseball batted the guards perfectly. Got about an inch more width with no damage thanks to using a hot air gun. Then i tried some 15mm spacers to stop guard rub on the chassis on the inside. Worked a treat but was tiny amounts of guard rub in the fenders. Small flares are on the way so didn't give a toss about making it look crap just so i could drive it. Thanks guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
