Static `Stealth` build 3 series (E46)

[Jacko_162]

Now that winter is fast approaching i have decided to start the 3 series project.

I want to keep the style as close to OEM as possible, with a few exceptions of course (mainly wheels)

at the moment she is sitting on coilovers at a height good enough for the UK roads and ability to mount speed bumps without issues, obviously this can be dropped some more but i need to order adjustable top mounts and rear adjusters to change angles etc to get ultimate drops.

I own a printing company so i decided i would use the knowledge i know to go for a vehicle wrap. I ordered the rolls last week and started to wrap the car today. i will post a quick teaser shortly.

once the wrap is complete i will start purchasing a few mods to allow suspension and setup over the winter, when winter has passed i should by then have a nice set of wheels (still undecided on what to fit at the moment! any help appreciated)

here is the pictures of the car as of last week:









the wrap i am going for is a matte black (not original i know but i only really like black) this can however change next year if i decide (the beauty of vehicle vinyl i guess).

SO this week myself and my dad will complete the wrap and hopefully sort a few little body panels out, and a few missing clips and screws etc..

Let the work commence

what is the set up of these 32 style wheels?

Front - 205/35/18 (8.0j x 18)
Rear - 215/35/18 (9.0j x 18)
no spacers

there alright fit as well and clear the rear arches alot tbh. there just my temp winter wheels, i may refurb them in a diffeent colour though. but i am still looking for those "special" wheels that i think will suit.

will go take some matte pics now. just finishing of carbon touches. already have half car done in matte and only been at it 2 days. time consuming though..
