FINAL MODS on the 1 (PICS!!). Thanks to the drop and mod gurus Kav and George!

[Theivz]

So a huge thanks to Kav (Westside) and George (gie0320) for spending the whole day yesterday sorting out the suspension (and final body mods). I’ll let the pics do the talking! I’m very happy with the result .. looks good and handles like a go kart! All my cars are now going via these two … very happy customer

Hope you like

[Myuran]

Looks shit hot mate! Great job! :D

[Theivz]

cheers mate very happy with it ... mpg dropped to 38 on the way home tho! lol .... enough power to wheel spin in 2nd lol ... will bring it to santa pod an gaydon :)

[Black Sabbath]

That looks stunning :cool: :cool: :cool: ,the kids at your wifes school will love it even more :D :D

[uberbmw]

Stunning mate, top mods there.

[TitanE46]

Car is looking stunning,it could not be in better hands,great job guys.:)

[DennisCooper!]

;)

You just can't beat subtly yet extensively modified BMW's - initially look 'plain' in terms of modifications and then the extent of mods appear :)

Can't beat the Black & White theme too ;)

Thievz/Dharmesh - really liking what you done with the car! do you have any more plans? plus also, at the next meet I do want to have a quick chat with you ! look me up!

Cheers, Dennis!

[Ali-bumble]

Nice little additions there.
Top work

[BMchris]

Looks mint, very aggressive for a 1series!!

[m3edd]

Looks superb m8, bet it handles like dream now.

[shaz350z]

Thats def one of the nicest 1series ive seen.

[Mah_c180]

LOoks great mate. Now get the roof vinyled black.

[sonny]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaam that looks hot! love it, its the best modded 1 series ive seen. although the front slitters i would of left exposed carbon.

[bootyman]

Is that the 1 the was there on Saturday? It drives really nice doesnt it! Kav and Porgy let me have it for a couple of hours :p

[scorcher]

Best 1 I've seen - great work :)

[Theivz]

cheers chaps for the positive feedback. The stance is so much better but still practical. Handles SO much better too-much much more chuckable. Was a bit unsure on the two tone stuff but I think it looks right...

@Ben ... PMSL - yeh I noticed there was only 2mm of tread left on the rear tyres...

@Mark - yes her kids loved the polo - imgaine what they will say to this! lol

@Mahana - mate you're not the first one to say that.... hmmm.... will start saving again...

@Sonny - someone on babybmw said the same thing - but I think overall I was going for a white car with gloss black "bits" so the cf would have been a bit messy. Having said that the CF weave on the splitter was fantastic quality and finish

[westside]

that was fun doing that job even though the fitting of the suspension was a right pain the arse however once finished it was well worth it IMO lots of swearing and slapping george on the head which makes it kind of fun!

[Styler]

well done mate, looks awesome!!! my turn next lol

[mysticm3]

looks like some doggy modding garages in Asian man....vest, shorts, and slippers! LMAO

[Raj]

Stunning..:cool:

[MEGA]

I'd have done the splitters black not white..

But it all looks brill especially the drop.

and yep get the roof done :D

[pav]

looks very fresh mate, i must admit, i wasnt a fan of the 1 series when it first came out but they have really grown on me. This one looks tops. Im gonna be different on this one and say leave the roof as it is. At the moment, the black highlights are subtle but at the same time change the whole look of the car. the black gloss roof may draw your attention away from the rest of the mods a bit to much imho. Some black and white roundels for the wheels will look good too!

[Theivz]

Cheers Pav ... the reason i din't get it done straight away is exactly what you've said - I was worried there be too much black and not just something that ties the car in. It looks good in mostly white and coz its a 5 door I think the roof is actually quite big compared with the coupes/3 doors so the black may be overpowering ... will ponder...

i have the roundels at home ... considering those too :)

Hidesh - if your m is anything to go by i can't wait to see what's next :)

[Mah_c180]

Mate the vinyl is a £100. PM if your interested.

It was great! I turned up, watched Kav and the Georgester swating and struggling for a few minutes, then i had some carrot cake and left. Rather enjoyable actually! :D

I did comment whilst i was there that i didnt normally like the 1 series, but this was was an exception cause it looked sexy like myself :p

[SYE]

very nice.

[modifiedmpower]

Car looks great much improved, a very eye catching 1 series you got there will have to get my mate along to show him it get him modding his 123d :D

[huzi7]

Looks stunning Mate :cool::cool::cool:

[J1SUA]

Dang man, your wife's car is officially pimped! Nice work gentlemen!

[Satnam]

Looks stunning for a 1 series.. all id do now is a subtle tint all round will add to the black and white theme.

Sat :cool:

[paul46rider]

Mate i absolutely love it, i actually think its my new favourite car on the forum, one thing which is making or breaking it for me at the moment though.....BBS centre caps for the wheels rather than the bmw ones

[Theivz]

just read your post Paul. Cheers mate:) glad you like. Can't wait for you guys to see it in the flesh ... i'm still umming and ahhhing about the centre caps ... so if you reckon bbs should they be black or red? (or even white?) ... or how about carbon black bmw badges (George's fave's)??

[sidsaeed]
