Hello all,

I have baught my bimmer some month ago, and its still a "starter" project with loads of thing to do, but also with loads of things done.
So far i have coils, wheels and a new "face" look, the rest of mods are more mechanical and in interior.
Hope u like it, regarding its a "WIP" and that itsnt too much "WIP" for this site.
Besides this atm its a DD project...
Sorry mi english, im from Portugal.

Regards,

All started with "this" but i have already lowered him on that picture. Was 1st mod



=====

Then was time for a engine "detail" ...

[pnogueira]

After that i decided to "try" some spacers on my 16" wille deciding what was the wheels to get.













=====

Decided to ser "carbon look" on mirrors, but didnt liked and ended up removing it

[pnogueira]

One day i decided to test fit a wheel set to sse if i rly like it.
Were searching for them for some time





And the diference... RollFender all the way...



Love the look of et8



And a test before i sent them to repair and paint



=====

After some home made tests .



Was time to change hes face from this:



To this:

Wille waiting on wheels i decided to clean it inside



































=====

And play a litlle with some tablet tests...

[pnogueira]

And since mi 1993 model didnt have a remote, i decided to install one of the new ones.
I know its more "VW" style, but itsway better then nothing.







And the final work

You're making me post for the first time since I registered here just to let you know I **** those wheels.
They're like crap and look like crap and i loved to see these go.

And srsly I miss those wheels.

BTW I didn't know you bought that lip ... what's your opinion on that?
I'm going for the M bumper but that thing actually looks nice and I bet it's quite cheap.


Off to a good start but that car is seriously in need of a proper photo shoot.
Just let me know when you have the time for doing it and i'll be more than happy to take some pictures

PS: If you still don't know me, I'm the guy who sold them to you. So, yeah.

not feeling that lip. otherwise you are off to a good start. in for more lows brah

I wasn't to buy any lip till i decided to get the all M look.
But ia, i liked this one and lets say i got it already painted for 50€

Hes in need for a serious paint job u mean
But if u wanna take some "normal" photos, just let me know.

Lets say i dont "dislike" the lip but im using it more as a test before M look.
I needed to check mi garage entrance and access, etc.
Since im using it now as a DD

Nice. i did the same with my fogs and high beams.
Any plans on getting another pair of rear roadstars for the front? always wanted a set of those.

[pnogueira]

Rly dunno, but i doubt...
I like the look of the diference on sizes front/rear, so im not planing it.
