Adam

Cheers dude

Yeah they are - proper carbon fibre, they look sweet as imo, make the standard ones look a bit goofy

At least i got all BBS' on atm.. even if the rears are 15's n the fronts 16's

[johnono]

lookin quite animal jhonno!

16s look fat!

[Zayyan]

On the 16s that low it looks mean

Love what you've done with the car

[Jhonno]

lookin quite animal jhonno!

16s look fat!

they are - 225's - cant actually use about 1/2 the lock atm, need to get the offset M3 bushes on there to move the wheel forward in the arch!

I quite like em tbh - think i'll paint em n keep em, was gonna just run them for a bit n see what happened, altho if some 17" BBS splitties come up right i'd be v tempted..

Cheers dude! 16's look subtly different from the 15's - et20 n a bigger dish, pretty phat imo

Just need some new tyres now.. think im gonna have to run 205/50's up front n 225/45's out back

[Dominitry]

That looks pretty damn mean!

[Karan]

are they the e30 m3 16s??

if so.... offset tca bushes will solve ure prob as ive seen one car with same setup and it doesnt rub at all

[Jhonno]

yeah they are.. gonna try n order some 2day.. need 2 new wings as well, they've been bashed a bit, nothing major but they did need replacing anyways (idiot damage and a bit of rust)

[Jhonno]

That looks pretty damn mean!

thats what i was aiming for It'l have the balls to back the looks v soon

Looks even harder in low light with the sidelights on

[Wyldie]

It is incredible really to think how a few simple changes can totally alter a cars appearance. From what was a bog standard fairly plain looking 316i is now looks quite sporty and something a bit different. Great colour as well.

[jmc330i]

That looks well . Just a subtle change makes the difference.

[Jhonno]

I was after fairly subtle whilst giving it that get the fuck outta my way look..

i havent changed much on it.. n tbh i think the outside is as modded as it'll get.. Might smoke the headlights n do the all red rear lights other than that tho.

Money is being spent on the engine now - Results to come in the next couple of months

[Cotty]

That'll be my missus

and she didnt think you were strange when you took her to a car park to take pictures of your car

[Jhonno]

No suprisingly not... Or at least she didnt say anything at the time

[Jhonno]

Woohoo!!

5 stud finally complete!! Took long enough Few teething problems but they'll get sorted asap (rear anti roll bar drop link snapped when it got weight on it for a start )

I'll get some pics when she's had a wash

Next must be engine conversion...

[Sjoerd320i]

excellent mate nice one

what were you planing again for the conversion?

[johnono]

well done sir!! now pics pics pics pics pics!!

[Jhonno]

S50... should be in n suprising the local Rice crap by beginning of Sept

[Sjoerd320i]

niiiiice

already decided yet on wheter(spell) it's gonna be a 3.0 or 3.2?

[peejay]

Nice pics, like the regular updates.......

Updates on the missus.....?



Peejay.

[Jhonno]

niiiiice

already decided yet on wheter(spell) it's gonna be a 3.0 or 3.2?

its gonna be a 3.0..

already got a deposit on the one im getting a nice 80k example

[Sjoerd320i]

sweet

[coldo]

Another little update.. Picked up these 16" BBS' last nite.. Just about fit under the arches altho they do catch some of the plastic arch liner after about a turn of lock, but then again they are 225/50's and et 20 with the already wider M3 track stuff on there. Hardly touch the arches, got em to scrub once whilst hooning it round some roundabouts but thats it..

Also got the new lip and the mirrors, altho still not got the m3 rear arms on yet!!!!

How much is the car lowered by mate?

Im thinking of going 60mm on 16's but dunno if it will be too impractical?

[Jhonno]

Here you go guys some pics - yes i know my front wing is fecked and it needs a clean etc

[Karan]

awesome!!

[Sjoerd320i]

that is fat!!

[DAN]

Very nice mate, what are the mirrors?

[Jhonno]

Very nice mate, what are the mirrors?

they are carbon fibre DTM's from Germany

[Sjoerd320i]

Very nice mate, what are the mirrors?

an absolute must as it's a 316 auto on 225's wich needs every litle bit of streamlining to make it to 70 mhp

[dazleeds]

very nice mate

[Jhonno]

Bit filthy!! Have not been keeping her nice and clean recently
