Black e46 saloon

[stevie-p]

picked this up and Fixed an oil leak and the usuall heater problems etc and this was it:


I picked up some wheels 90% of BM owners **** Square M3's
Wanted 4 rears so ended up getting them from differant places and the specs are 18x9 et26 allround The rear fitment with 255.40's



Only managed to fit the rears today and dont want to give to much away so I apologise for poope pictures. My arch is eating the sidewalls away.

Plans are to get a new door some new coilovers and I need to get my arches rolled and sort out some tyres as I think I need some 225.40's to clear once she's down, All this will be happening next week.

This is my other project which has been put on hold for my wedding







Thanks
Stevie

Im still at 4x4 status but never the less a Bit of an update, front wheels turnt up so got some 225.40's on the wheels 2 runflats,1 michelin and 1 dunlop spaced the rear 5mm and bolted them up:








I also did a bit of wrapping inside die to the strips looking rough and hung my African freind inside too:




Thanks stevie

Coilovers and droplinks ordered yeasterday so I am waiting for them to turn up, I bought some satin black and primer for the wheels but I changed my mind when it turnt up, Im going to refurb the rear wheels in shadow chrome as they are blistering badly and bought a fasia for my stereo as I am missing the cd changer.
I also bought a heater resistor and rocker cover gasket to fit.
Heres a quick shop somebody did for me
:

I plan to go lower than the pshop is, Ill have to see how much abuse my arches will take with a roller and hammer.

Thanks

Those rear fenders shouldn't need more than a minor roll with that fitment.

[stevie-p]

its not the rears, they dont really need pulling, I need to sort the front from catching the tyre

I like the stance, but i dont like the dark wheels. Also those tires seem to fit quite bulky, huh?
Car looks clean all in all tho!

[stevie-p]

there 205.45.17 and 215/45/17 I like um a little bulky. wheels will be refurbd soon thats how i bought them, havent had chance to tidy them up yet. Its still going down due to coils settling

[JonnyM]

I thought only an 18" rim could look good on an E46 but you have just proved me wrong! Good job!

[MadMax]

Looks so good lowered

Are thoes 8,5 et13 ??

[stevie-p]

There 8.5 et13.5 fronts and 9.5 et 20.5 rears, the car is settling and has gone lower, need to re roll my rear arches, its lower than it looks in those pics
