Fitted Fogs lights and switch

Full Reiger Gts Kit with mesh in the bumpers

All Red Lights on the rear and Smoked indicators

Removed the M-Tech Rep Spoiler didnt like it

got the rid of the Aerial and Hole

Colour Coded the Door Sills and Handles

cars not finshed yet going to
fit angel eyes, gettin double exit duplex exhaust like a E46 M3, Ice, 2.5 engine conversion, black grill, or colour coded grill

thinking of fitting M3 mirrors,



if you have anything negative to say then dont bother.

Looks cool mate, I dont wanna be negative and piss on your chips but i think it would suit some chunkier wheels.....something like AZEV A's. It looks much nicer without the rear spoiler and the spray job is bang on.

Bal mate thats looks excellent. I remember saying a tech 2 kit would be better, but that reiger has been fitted really well.

Love the hard top and colour. Will take a close look next time im round :)

Get the engine done and it will be loaded! I personally prefer your mirrors to the M3 ones, leave it as it is!

I prefer the lenso's also.

Surely if the outside diameter of the 18's is different then it changes the gearing ratio and speedo reading??
