Looks killer!

Those RF's look great man. Top work.

Nice work on the rear, glad you got it lower. There arent many facelifts ones on RF's and it flows so well with the chassis.

Your car looks mint !

A little more camber all around would be great.

[Thooooom]

looks awesome !

I think you could round it up with some amber tails...

yeah theyre on my list! finding them is extremely difficult in the UK, will be keeping an eye out for some soon though.

damn?! that are 235k kilometers and now its get a new life! nice build dude

high miles i know! haha. ive only had it for 3 months and its just rolled over 151,000 miles. thanks for the kind words dude.

My 47 year old father loved this at UD. I only got an iPhone pic but you got papped!

haha dude thats awesome! tell him i said thanks haha. thanks for the photo too!

Ok wow, how exactly did I miss this?

I will freely admit to not being an E46 fan at all... but I am a MASSIVE fan of yours. If I were to build one it would pretty much look exactly the same.

The RFs fit the E46 soooo well, maybe even better than the E36.

Great job!

wow dude, glad to hear ive converted you! i never used to be a fan at all, im not sure what changed me but i really love this car now. i love the wide front arches, a decent front fitment was one of my main focus' of this car, because ive never really pulled it off in the past. no matter how much i see it everyday i never get bored of looking at it.

Im really happy with the wheels too, seen a few e46's on RF's but not as many as you'd think! do love them on e36's too!

thanks for the kind words everyone.

so i managed to get the rear sorted. a slight arch flare and some damper length adjustments have allowed to to get approx/ 25mm lower and now with no rub at all!

took the car to the first show of the year last weekend. here are some photos. Love how it looks rolling.







and a picture with my friend Josh's e36 we build on the saturday before the show, and my other friend steves crazy b5 s4!








sorry for so many photos, but makes a nice change to all the writing. hope you all like it!

[Thooooom]

thanks guys. rear arches are attacking the rear tyres slightly so they need more attention, looks like camber arms arent going to be optional afterall haha.

Threads like this make me miss my ole E46. Yours had come along quite nicely!

[austinscottphotography]

looks awesome! hope you get all the issues solved....**** driving around worried something will break at any moment

[Thooooom]

thanks guys. getting some hilarious looks driving round town haha.

think i may have a solution to my rear suspension issues too! but i wont blab on until i know it works.

[J3EY]

Love this man!!!

[Nuts]

Wow, that looks absolutely hot!!!
