Looks really good mate. Leave the m badge if you like it, i like them also (although yours is the modern kind :wink:)

Reminds me of my first 318i that i lowered 40mm, added a tech 2 kit, 15"bbs and sports seats!

Good work.

Plus unlike most people you know theres no rust under the kit!

Josh, It looks the dogs dangly bits mate 8) Well done on the tech 2 rightness............The best look in my opinion.
I think white tech 2's are one of the best colour and kit combos.

Just a tip mate, If I were you id do your rear lights red where the amber is winkeye

Keep up the good work and keep them pics coming.

Looks great! Shadow line will finish it off well, maybe get twin exhausts to fill the rear valance slot unless you already have?

Looking good josh, its come along way. A credit to yourself especialy for someone so young, when i was 15 i was to busy getting drunk/stoned/laid to be bothered with cars alothough i did have a rusty Mk2 escort to tinker with at the time.
Look forward to some more pics.
