BMW e36 coupe

[pnogueira]

On a BMW meeting in oPorto

[pnogueira]

Mi fuel gauge stopped work, and today was time to fix it...

Simptom:



Preparing the area



20 yeas of dust... Clean time...



Ready for it:



Bastard:



Litlle bastard



And the inverse process after solding it



And its working again



Nice way to spend a hollyday

[pnogueira]

Ok... Portuguese roads and a DD car with that lip = "disaster"

The demage its a litle extensive, so i need to dedicate time to it on the weekend...

Style 5's are pretty common but it's not hard to understand why. They look good regardless of color scheme, being polished or not.


Yours seem desperate to get rid of those silly tires, so I'd start there.
Finding another set and use the rears up front would look awesome, but they're pretty hard to find and a lot harder to fit under the fenders.
For a DD it surely looks good and does it's job, but I'd also think of something different, buy another set of wheels and just beat the s**t out of these you currently have!


That lip doe

[pnogueira]

Well Style 5's are cool, but too mutch seen on e3X

Regarding the "Lowz" ... Yes it needs, but its a DD car, so i know i need to invest allot more on others coils and to "work" way more on the rear fender :\
I also need a proper tire size, but its a pain in the ass in Portugal to "legalize" it

Like i told its a WiP and far from be finish

[Miguelhbx]

I like it.
Needs more lowz for shure.

Boa sorte com o projecto

[kittenpuncher]

thank Jesus you didn't do style 5's as your first real wheels.

[pnogueira]

well i didnt post all in here since mi "original" project have loads of info
Both highbeams and fog lights were painted.

Lets say mi wife "didnt" like all the test i have done



till i pick the right paint and the amount of coats for the look i wanted



Im pretty sure u can buy that brand online...

[suspenceful]

How did you do the yellow high beams?

[pnogueira]

Well i know i need a better camera ... but hope u like...

[pnogueira]

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

[JE BMW]

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]

BTW I didn't know you bought that spoiler ... 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.

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€

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

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

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

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

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.
