Hamann Lip Installed

[BigFas]

Picked the lip up from the painters this morning and due to them not actually being open officially, had to install it myself. Frickin' mission. Only took me 2.5 hours!!! (Huge thanks to BodyTechnics in Slough for doing an "emergency" paint job. Dropped it off to them at 1pm yesterday, picked it up at 11.30am today!! These guys rock!)

Anyway. I honestly think it's the best mod I have EVER done, it has totally transformed the front end to what I can only describe as "a beast". I cannot tell you how hardcore this looks in black!

I'll let the pics tell you their story!

Fas i know the paint work was an absolute cock up mate.. but it does look the buisness im glad your happy with it ;)

[Afif]

whoa looking good.

[BigFas]

Digs, pics were taken with the foglight removed. I forgot to put it in if I'm honest :D, but it's all back and in place, if you look at that second pic, it's actually the last pic I took today and it's there ;)

Kam, thanks bro,

James, cock-up isn't the word. My painter looked at it and just laughed. But if you were happy enough to send it as it was , then that's cool.

Afif, thanks dude :)

[James325]

Fas Im a joiner not a painter what do you want blood i wouldnt know the right colour to the wrong colour black like i said to ye give me your address and ide send you a cheque for half of the re-paint but you chucked ye toys out ye pram and never got back to me:rolleyes:

[BlackBimmerUK]

Not to my taste, just looks like its stuck on. But definitely changes the appearance of the front end. :)

[BigFas]

The last thing you said on the matter was "we'll see"

Then I had to go out to dinner - far from throwing my toys out the pram.

Also, wasn't just the colour. The quality was up shit creek too

[James325]

Ile put to you this way then the message i sent you was

I aint going to fall out over 35 pound send me your address and there will be a cheque in the post, now wether you went out to lunch or not that message
will have been on your msn when you came back because you were set to away all night

Hi BigFas

That Hamann lip looks fantastic, mind you your ride looked fantastic before :) but what about those speed bumps won't it scratch the underneath as your ride has been droped ?

Trust me, his car is still too tall to threaten any speed bumps ;) :D

The Hamann lip doesn't extend any lower than the CS splitters.

[Estoril Sport]

Up in the north, some speed bumps I have been over have been dam high. I can remember one perticuler one I scraped the underneath of my A6 as the front hangs over a lot past the front wheels :mad: mind you it was on a private road.

[BigFas]

Cheers guys :)

Kam, BodyTechnics are Porsche specialists but last year they became the official painters for Altwood BMW. When my car got pranged last year it went to these guys and I got on really well with the manager. He now does cash jobs for me :) Spoilers, splitters, that kind of thing. Any of the bigger jobs, he'll still want it taken through the front door. If you want anything like this done, let me know, I'll hook you up.

Speed bumps aren't an issue just yet, but I'm going dead slow over them :( as for being as low as clubsport splitters, Nick's right, they're no lower than the ones I had before. The only danger is car park kerbs, I tend to park ass in, so that's not a problem :)

And apologies for airing laundry in public. What's happened has happened. It's all about lessons learned and I've learnt mine. Move onwards and upwards

[BigFas]

Nick, as for fave pics, that was you picked out is my favourite too :) Here's another one on the same lines but no zoom, I like this one a lot

[westside]

i'm still not sure on it for some reason i don't know y i'm cofused :confused:

[BigFas]

LOL. You either like it or you don't I guess. I love it, but I ain't gonna cry if you don't like it :) well, not much :(

[westside]

i think its one of those thing that i have to see in the flesh pic never do mods justice i have seensome thingsthat look wicked in pics then crap in real life and vice versa i'll check it when you come to pick up the rear lenses ;)

[330ciSport]

Looks V Good Fas. Now all you need is a proper engine... :D

[westside]

Looks V Good Fas. Now all you need is a proper engine... :D

lol thats not nice ;)

[330ciSport]

I suspect it will be Fas that's taking the piss out of me soon. He seems to be watching a thread about M3 engine installations into E46 coupe's very closely!

lol i prefer the zoomed one. The pipes are taking all the glory in this one :P

[BigFas]

@330ci sport. Make all the engine jokes you want. December 2005, you'll all be left behind ;)

[mysticm3]

I love the pic Peppernick has picked, looks like a black panther prying out...

car's sick bro...love the lip! Didn't know you were getting it tho

[330ciSport]

Fas, just jesting mate. So what's happening in Dec 2005? It'll need to be effin' quick to leave us all behind. I should have my uncle's 993 Turbo by then.

[James325]

Trust me, his car is still too tall to threaten any speed bumps ;) :D

The Hamann lip doesn't extend any lower than the CS splitters.

I think you will find its a good bit lower than the C.S splitters mate if ye go over them bumps a bit to quick i guarantee you it will scrape ;)

[BigFas]

Fas, just jesting mate. So what's happening in Dec 2005? It'll need to be effin' quick to leave us all behind. I should have my uncle's 993 Turbo by then.

Hmmm, it'll be pretty close ;)

Plan is to get a 745Li and take a trip straight down to ASA and blow it! Pennies are already being put aside :D

[330ciSport]

No way dude! That'll be the fastest coffin carrier on the planet. Have you ever driven a longwheel base 7? Its friggin' huge. You'll need a supercharger for each cylinder to keep up with me!

Still, quality idea though. Why not go for the 750?

[Afif]

or the 760li :D :D now that would be something :o

[BigFas]

760 is a £90k car, a lil' outta my league ;) Don't think they make a 750 do they?

745Li, 1 year old, £33k :D Happy days

[peppernick]

Still think a 545 is a better choice :D

[Durgesh]

745Li, 1 year old, £33k :D Happy days

Facelift coming soon.. in a few months.. the pre-facelift prices will drop even further. :D

[mysticm3]

745il you'll be a proper dude bro lol :p need to get some gold chain and necklace etc haha

[BigFas]

hence the December 2k5 change date :p

Nick, 545 may be the better choice, but I seriously can't live with the looks no matter how hard I try :(

But I've seen some amazing 7's so that's where I'm going

[Durgesh]

745il you'll be a proper dude bro lol :p need to get some gold chain and necklace etc haha

And then you need some 19" chrome spinner hubcaps.
