More mods, latest pics.

[lee330sport]

Now had my Rieger CSL style front bumper installed. Ive yet to put the CF splitters on though as it sits pretty low at the moment.lol

Also got rear strutt to fit, and my ducted grill this week plus windows are going in for the gangsta look.

And yes i know the car needs a wash.

[Stock323iSaloon]

WOW!!! Any lower and you'll be mowing the grass soon! i think the tints will just top it off:) BTW, how is the fit by the wings?

[Afif]

maaan what about the mirrors :D The rest is looking awesome so far [bow.

[Shuriken]

Nice work mate, I'm with Afif; mirrors? :)

Shuriken.

[mysticm3]

wow knight rider evotechnik style... :D I'll see if I can get you black halos instead lol

[Shuriken]

Get one of those knight rider leds and mount it face down behind the number plate, that would be amazing!! :D

Shuriken.

[330-Singh]

Looks mean! a very well done motor!

But it does look like the Bumper is wider than the wings ie: the bumper overhangs a bit? or is that just the angle in the pics.

[BigFas]

That looks lush!!! If I had to start all over again, I'll definitely be copying that!

[kris d]

Looking good lee!
Fas, where did you get the spoiler under your front bumper from? Is it the same one as James' old 325vert?
Also, do you get any speedbump issues with it?
Cheers
Kris

[BigFas]

It's not only the same as Jame's 325's vert, it's THE one :D I bought it off him when he sold the car for the M3. Don't know where he got it from though, it's a Hamann item, I know Roy sells Hamann items so hopefully he'll be more suited to getting hold of one for you.

Speed bumps aren't a problem, just approach them slowly, what IS a problem is multi-storey car parks. the inclines between the floors are shit and this catches them every time no matter how slow you go and as you know, the width of the ramps is only as wide as the car, so it's not like you can attack it at an angle. I remember one incident, the NCP car park behind Debenhams in London. People on the floor I was approaching heard my exhaust / intake and they had obviously stopped what they were doing to see what car was approaching. I creep down the ramp at 1mph, and then sccccccccrape, hit the bottom of the lip and they started laughing :(

99% of the time it's fine, it's literally just car parks that's the issue

[mattj]

lee, that looks awesome mate, very phat! love what you did to the rims....

as said needs mirrors-ive got a set of genuine m3 mirrors that would look good lol

[Mits]

Lee that looks really good. [jam
Your car is just looking so smooth now, i've not seen a better black coupe. :cool:

[peppernick]

Looks awesome Lee. Most aggressive make over I've seen.

An ACS decked rear wing will suit your car very well [cool

[Ali]

Looks wicked man!

[lee330sport]

Cheers Guys,

The bumper does sit about 1mm further out than the bumpers, but this is an M3 bumper not a coupe so its bent in as far as it would go.

Mirrors and rear spoiler are def next along with the tints.......damn list keeps getting longer.

Nick, which spoiler do you mean?

[pete]

another awesome mod lee :cool:

no ones gonna miss that round manchester!!

[Black Sabbath]

[cool That looks really impressive.Much respect is due [bow .
However as I found out to my cost :mad: those mirrors will
now earn you the title of "elephant ears".Dont wait too long
before you get them done :D :D

[scorcher]

Phwoooooar - well evil fella!

Nice :cool:

[evil_elmo]

oh your car looks awesome! i really like the front and the rims [cool

[lee330sport]

Guys what do ya think of this rear? Just the addon not the boot spoilers.

[Afif]

i personally think it would go with your car really well with the twin exit [cool.

[uberbmw]

damn that looks evil! love it.

[Nickleback]

Lee, never seen a better lookin black coupe, tho's rims are just sooooooo good [jam [jam

[M5 SC]

Very nice mate.
F**k your cars low! [cool

[lee330sport]

Well im gonna get the Kersher rear with the ACS Racing CF spoiler ill see what that looks like first?

Matt how much are you after for the M3 mirrors?

[BigFas]

Not to piss on any potential sale, but Lee, your car is a late facelift which means you will have a ribbon connector for your mirrors. I'm assuming Matt has either a 6 or 12 pin standard cable connector? If so, incompatible. If Matt HAS ribbon connector motors, then snap them up, they're rare on the aftermarket

[kris d]

Anyone know where i can get a cheap set of ACS mirrors? I think they'd suit my car better than the M3 ones.....

Yeah ive sent hima pm asking what type they are, although some on the E46 fanatics are doing retrofits now onto the facelifts by splicing the wires. Have they not changed to ribbon connectors on 04 M3's?

Think CA do some replicas, i might have a look at these too.

[444bhp Ray]

Lee i didn't know this was your motor mate seen another pic of it from Nick and i must say mate that front spioler is the NUTS [bow i want one for mine. [bow

[mattj]

lee, ive emptied my inbox now lol

the mirrors are standard 12 pin, they havent changed the 04 m3's to the ribbon types. i bought them for my 04' 325 face lift cab(there sprayed silver grey) and they wouldnt connect up because of the 12 pin to ribbon connector, but fitted perfectly. i was going to splice the wiring but in the end i never got round to it and just had them fitted but not wired up! at least they looked good lol

there are a lot on fanatics who have spliced the wiring.

[lee330sport]

Pm me a price then Matt. [ok

Ray our cars will look the same if you get that bumper.lol Except mines lower :p

[444bhp Ray]

Lee i will want them side skirts as well mate. rearly mate what a difference they make to your car soooo sick, :eek: will be my next mod i hope then the GTR hood. ;)BTW i have to lower it first then spioler,side skirts and GTR hood. :p

[lee330sport]

Yeah im waiting for the GTR hood in facelift they dont do it yet :(

[Raj]

Lee, your motor is just sooooo SWEET. That front has completely transformed your motor for the better. I haven't seen a better looking black coupe. Once, you've changed the ears and added the rear spoiler, it's going to look demonic [bow .

I am pretty sure your ride would be Darth Vadar's chosen mode of transport if he clapped eyes on it. I could imagine the fight scene [fight :D

[lee330sport]

Rear spoiler though which do i go for?

This

Or this molded to the bootlid.

[Raj]

Have to say that I really do prefer the second one as I prefer the sleeker looks it would provide. The first one is definitely more aggressive but I think with the curves of your ride second in this case is best.

[Ali_]

This would be the one id go for mate, aside from that your rides looking mint, so much from sooo little time its just emotional :D
