You dont have the foglights either do you? Instead you have the much better option of brake cooling ducts :thumb:
that,s made me think now , i might take the fogs out from my se and put the duct's in it makes sense!!

Aston,

Ant's seats are serious improvements over the std recaros, huge side bolsters and you get mounted by them when you're in them :D
Proper race style seats, doubt they weigh any less than the norm as they are bigger, but I so want some, just not sure where to get them from :lol:

Really are better seats for going sideways in :D
So they aren't the Recaros that came with the E30's? Like mine:

Something more like what is in the Lancer Evolution series? http://www.members.westnet.com.au/astondg/untitled1.jpg Those ones don't lift up and down.

The other thing mine do is fold up for people to get in the back, but I think the ones in the Lancer Evolutions do that too.

I have a Sparco fixed race seat in my car so I don't get to adjust it at all. I have it mounted where it is fairly comfortable though, I would like to go a bit closer to the wheel though but if I do my helmet hits the sunroof and I'll have to bend my head down :) .

Surprisingly (at least to me) I still feel myself leaning heavily on the outside edge of my race seat on fast corners at the track, even with my 6 point harness on as well. My E30 wouldn't be making big G's either so I can't imagine what it would be like in a car that could.

As you can see mine is a little tired :) , so they (all seats actually) are away at the moment getting retrimmed. They are nice seats though, they are fairly narrow which is good for me because I am not very wide. I rarely sit in them though because I have the Sparco seat for the driver.

Definitely! They've been changed at a later date though I think, as the foglight dash illumination lights up.

Do you know which m3 models came with the ducts as std? was it only on the evos or was it an option on them all?

Yes mate, all evo's came with them, and I would imagine you could ask for them if wanted when the car was new.

Mine came as standard with:
Front fogs.
Headlamp wash/wipe & intensive.
Sport steering wheel.

The first owner specced it with:
Metallic paint (Diamond Black).
15" BBS.
Electric sunroof.
Anti-theft system (the dealer fit one).

I've added:
iS lip spoiler.
Sport seats (which are being re-trimmed to match the rears).
Rear head rests.
Mudflaps.
3.64 open diff.
Correct shape rubber floor mats.

Waiting in the wings:
325i throttle body (& I'll get one of Ants chips at the same time).

On my wish list are:
MTech1 steering wheel (when I find a 370mm one).
Electric rear windows.
MTech front springs.
Z3 short shift.
Sport gearbox.
2.3 (yes 2.3!) bottom end.

I've taken off:
Front fogs (IMHO fogs are a waste of space & anyway one was cracked and one badly pitted).
Headlamp wash/wipe & intensive (all the wiper equipment was already gone when I bought the car).

Simon.... Do you want RHR's for the M3?? If you do, don't get excited, but PM me, I can get you heading in the right direction (No this doesn't mean I've got a pair of black leather ones!)
