Hows it going guys.
Been snooping around this site for a while, and decided to register.

maf sensor
mirrors
Blck kidneys
coilovers
smoked corners
smoked the amber on the tail lights
windows fixed( 2 didnt roll down)
hood (opened on the fwy and got all twisted)
couple cooling hoses
heater core valve
brakes
trunk
replaced winshield
handle
fog lights
frenched highbeams
m3 bumper
Im sure i forgot a couple things


****Still gotta couple things to work on.

re-spray the whole car alpine again, maybe even techno violet ")
a/c tensioner
Either velocity splitters or rieger lip.
Some 2 piece wheels. acs preffered.



Well this is how i got the car. ugly as fck..lol, but again, got it for cheap.



Time went by and i got some coilovers,, smoked corners and also a set of snowflakes. painted the lowers but came out kinda shitty



Then ditched the snowflakes and got some contours (17x7.5) square. Also smoked the tail lights.







Then realized the chrme was peeling off the rims on 2 of them and one had a hairline crack, so I fixed them and sold them.

Got these style 157s next
They looked pretty good, but didnt last too long on my car.
Also installed the home depot lip on it.







Then came these..Style 32s off a 5 series.
Rims are 17x8 et20 and 17x9 et26
Tires are 215/45 and 225/45
Had to roll the fenders.



Got myself a new bumper, its plastidipped for now till i can save enough to get a full re-spray
also frenched the high beams and the fogs
And this is how it is now..
Still want to re-spray the whole car and maybe get some acs wheels if i can find them

Welcome!

[JE BMW]

thanks..


And well. primered the centers. blue is just the reflection of the tv
white looks pretty good, but doin a diff color. also getting gold bolts and black bbs caps with gold centers.

still waiting for paint should be here by next week. ")

[JE BMW]

Well decided on the color. Its Bmw metallic bronze.
In the shade it looks dark brown and in the light it is bronze/gunmetal.
Gonna let them dry and sand them with 1000 or 1500 grit and apply 3/4 coats of clear.
Bbs stickers are in the mail. But still have to get my bolts plated gold.
Cant wait to put these bitches on.

[WICKED WEISS]

HAHA your sig...

[JE BMW]

well got the polished hexs and bbs decals. still waiting on the gold bolts

[JE BMW]

and then bought these. idk which ones im gonna keep besides my style 32s..

disasembled, the centers were painted white but clear is a lil faded, have to touch some spots and clrear coat them again.



The finished barrel is from my style 5s, big difference. Gonna get to the other 4 maybe by next week.. my hand already hurts from thinking about it..lol (the center that is in barrel w the polished lip scuffed up)





First one touched up and cleared. had some extra gold vinyl, idk if i should leave it.
