100 £ to spend what to get ?

[adood84]

I have about 100£ maybe little more to spend on the car , already getting CCFls and the silver gauge rings from teddy when I come , My car for you people who don't know is a 318vert faclift model. I don't have any ideas so thought about asking you guys.

lets see what you come up with[jam

[paulm3]

silver bulb kit??? carbon fibre grills??? strut brace???

[adood84]

first of all could this thread be moved to main forum , here is a list of my current Mods which are actuall on the car :
ACS spring kit
Original ACS exhaust tip
Silver Indicator bulbs
M3 steering wheel
BMW aulminum pedals and footrest
BMW Titanum Gear knob and handbrake
and what I'm already getting is CCFLS and silver instrument rings, the Strut brace cost 200+ which is way more than 100;)

[peppernick]

Lip spoiler

[adood84]

[paulm3]

[adood84]

[M5 SC]

Lip spoiler mate! will look phat!

[adood84]

[Doc Matt]

do u have the black kidney grills? they look nice and are not too expensive :)

[M5 SC]

Has got a very nice front end already - so i do agree with ya!
Just something small and subtle! Not a massive thing strapped to the front!!!

[Doc Matt]

:eek: How cool is that estate!!!!

Shuriken.

[adood84]

so where could I get the color coded one , from teddy?

[Mits]

lol I thought you had £100k to spend on a new motor :D
Note to myself...must read post more carefully.

get the acs strut, improves handling for that quick blast.

[Afif]

so where could I get the color coded one , from teddy?

Either do it yourself or get a local bodyshop to do it. Shouldnt be much :). Maybe get the black one and if you dont like it get your original ones sprayed then you can truly decide :D.

[Raj]

I'd have to agree with a lot of the other peeps:
1. Strut Brace - for the handling and looks when you open the bonnet.
2. Black Kidneys - from the pic Afif provided, looks sweet on silver
3. M3 rear boot lip spoiler - can be bought in conjuction with no. 2 for your budget (so you get a couple of goodies for your cash :cool: )

[adood84]

The strut brace is out as its out of the budget, going for black kidney grills and I'll fit them if I don't like them I'll paint them .
The lip spoiler I could buy from teddy but does't look original whats the diffrence between the one he sells and the BMW one?

[adood84]

so here is what I'll bring back from london with me :
1.CCFLs angel lights
2.Silver gauge rings
3.Black kidney grills
4.lip spoiler from teddy (painted , unpainted don't know yet)

[BigFas]

The lip spoiler teddy sells is near identical to OEM, shouldn't have any problems with it. Seems you have a pretty good selection of mods to be getting on with.

Do you already have pedals? A worthwhile mod in itself and should be in your budget. Get the matching handbrake cover as well.

[BigFas]

BTW. Lipo spoiler on a vert ;)

[adood84]

I do have the aluminum pedals foot rest and hand bake cover and I have the the hlaf leather half aluminum all from BMW , thanx for the pics Fas, is that what have you got on now ?

My "I still cannot afford" Mod list is :
1.Eismann Exhuast system
2. Orginal M3 mirrors (or maybe carbon fiber ones)
3. M3 CSL 18' wheels replica from velocity
4. Strut brace from teddy

[Estoril Sport]

What about a metal mesh front like BigFas, have not seen any one mentioned this one.

[Estoril Sport]

try again ran out of time

[adood84]

I have the normal bumper for facelift ,and maybe adding sillver to a silver car at the front will just make it all siver ,if you know what I mean ;), thanx for the effort any way this thread might give other people ideas for modding

[Raj]

I wouldn't go with the metal mesh on Silver especially if you are gonna get black/colour coded kidneys.

[adood84]

the list I gave above was my final list for mods,I'm going to buy from SSDD Motorsport/Teddy:
1.CCFLs
2.Black kidney grill
3.Silver guage rings for insrument cluster
4.M3 lip spoiler
But the question is sould the car be there so the spoiler could be painted ?and How good is Teddy's painter?

[lee330sport]

On older cars its best to have the car there with the painter to get a good colour match, as paint can change over time. But as your cars quite new there shouldnt be a problem in matching your paint. But to be on the safe side, id get it painted back home.

[adood84]

just bee on the phone with the dealer(they have a really good painter) , and they are going to fit and paint the spoiler for 40 GBP , and they are going to fit the CCFLs for me for and check if the xenons need any alingment after fitting an correct for the same price and I'll be helping them fit it ,I'm going to fit the silver gauge rings my self , and tghe only thing left is the the Black kidney grill , How do you fit it ?

[lee330sport]

£40 for paint and fitting is an excellent price, cant go wrong there.

The grill has 4 clips on the back of each one, just use a flathead screw driver to unclip them. 5 mins job.
