my car is finally back from the body shop looks great they have fitted the body kit on nicely and also sprayed the hardtop same colour

im going to add pics of before and after and in each stage of how it looks

since i brought the car

I Changed the Carpet to Beige

Fitted Full Beige Leather Interior and Door Cards

Cruise control

Full Obc,

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.


how it was first when i brought it

Image

fitted a different set of wheels that i kept on it for a few months

Image

Image

Image

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.

Very nice mate.

Im thinking of doing my Hardtop any advice?.

Did the bodyshop leave the window in?.

Any problems with the rubber seals?.

Cheers Gareth.

also forgot to mention since i brought the car i changed the carpet to beige and fitted full beige leather interior and door cards,

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,

jus fitted cruise control, Obc, the car never had fogs so fitted them when i first brought the car,

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!

do prefer the look of the Lenso's compared to the khans, would look nice either way.

yeh true looks nice both ways

good thing about the 18"s they raise my car more up from the road which is better
and fill up the arches

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??
