qube 3570 Report post Posted March 6, 2017 After selling the E91 and driving the E39 for a while I felt like I needed something a bit newer again and had my sights set on a 135i coupe, looking for the perfect one to pop up. But it was always either not quite right and or a bit too expensive. Then I stumbled across this E87 130i hatchback 2010 automatic and couldn't say no to the lovely 6 cylinder engine so pulled the trigger. Picked it up completely stock and have already started the mods like new wheels (Work Japan 18x8.5), debadged and black grilles etc. Huge list of things I want to do on it but so far very happy with the car and will be replacing the E39 as my daily. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olaf 3318 Report post Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) doing a bit of light-painting eh, Kyu? Nice work. I like the setups with the Scooby, with Aucks in the background. The security fencing's not nearly as sexy. PS - that's one ice-cool 130i. Those Work wheels are superb.

qube 3570 Report post Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks olaf haha. It was first time doing the light painting and it was hard to get even coverage etc but had a heap of fun doing it. Really interesting stuff. That sti is a pretty wicked car, putting out about 330hp. Work wheels suit the car quite nicely I think but I would like to paint them bronze hmmmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
