318IS nice subtle mods :)

[P_VIDDY]

I bought the car about 5 months ago with plans to lightly mod, however from the start things went wrong. The engine started rattlin within a week, afetr about Ԛ£200 spent trying to find the problem i gave in a bought a new engine. About 2 weeks after i fanally dropped the new engine in(another m42) the steering rack died i then spent a while trying to source a new steering rack and once i had found one i had to wait a month for delivery due to various problems. If that wasnt enough i found out i need new brakes

However after a new engine, steering rack, brakes the modding began...


Heres the car when i got it...



Heres the car after:

tail lights, head lights, indicators, side repeaters proffesionaly tinted
scorpion stainless steel twin dtm exhaust
se side skirts
removed pin stripes (yes it had pin stripes!?!?!?!)
15"bbs rims to replace 14s
all side trims, grills, rear number plate surround etc sprayed satin black to freshen up the appearence
black kidney grill

looks quite nice mate have you got any more plans for her

[gooner1]

Looks neat mate.Good move getting shot of pinstripes IMHO. How do you rate the dtm backbox?

[eko]

That looks sweet,well done mate
How about a tiny drop in suspension,especially on the front,say 20-30mm?

[P_VIDDY]

thanks for the comments guys,

well i REALLY wanna drop it but as u can see by the pic above if it goes 1mm lower i will not be able to get on my drive due to the slope

i have just bought a 325 oil cooler vent to go on the front and i am having the front and rear valence smoothed and sprayed so that is matches the car as that stonechip crap is hard to polish up. thats about all i have planned really as i dont want to ruin it, any ideas of subtle mods welcome tho

i love the dtm exhaust its looks great and sounds awsome without being too loud

[cass1_5503]

if it was me i would stick some smoked headlights on it make it look evil lol

Loving it mate. i like red e30's more and more recently.

Loving the plate, my 318 IS is H608 AFB.lol also loving the Old Skool Bimmer.

Se skirts make a heck of a difference too.

[P_VIDDY]

ye had to have "old skool bimmer" on my plates

the head lights are lightly tinited

[hammoj28]

Cool, i need to replace my plates soon and think i might get summat like that done. Maybe just "old skool" tho.

Lovely looking motor mate...Looks exactly like mine when i got her, all those years ago
I had the se skirts that had been put on as a option, but only 14" bbs, oh and it was low as fook on the front too...shame you can drop it any more..

Well Done...Another RED baby

Pal

[mr_s1ngh0]

bloody hell, i was gonna buy this car! i remember drooling over it

[kunjani]

hey p viddy loking good bro, i also reckon you should dig the driveway up

anyway liking the car, only thing i'm not too crazy about is the eyelid,
i reckon yours woud look better without it

i think pal has one (could be wrong) and it works there for me but on yours the more subtle the better

but to each his own and your cabs still a looker

[mr_s1ngh0]

heres an idea, stick some planks of wood at the peaks of the drive and the road. problem solved, now get that car dropped, i know i want to do the same to mine, lookin at some of the is's on here, its looks like the way forward brother
