Except, I got a set of Morimoto Bi-Xenon Projectors + 6K 35W HID's - I intend to change the bulbs to 5K and blacked out the reflectors. Plans are to run quad xenons soon
Other than that, been driving it and enjoying it! Going to go into winter mode in a few weeks but got some plans for the new year!
Didn't get a picture with the shrouds in.. Got too excited haha!!
Your car looks great man! I have JOM's as well, I don't have the helpers in, and I still have the rear adjusters. Once I roll my fenders I plan on taking the adjusters out completely.

Thanks man! My front helpers are still in for now, rear adjusters are out. But the bumpstops haven't been cut down!
Intention for the new year is to remove front helpers, cut down rear bump stops and more neg camber at the back!
E46's have a small amount of camber adjustment front and back. If you remove the factory alignment pin from the strut bearing/mount, the stud holes in the strut tower are slotted so you can move the strut assembly inwards to get some negative camber. Out back the outer, lower control arm bolt is eccentric, and allows a little bit of negative camber as well.
Great looking car! Looks much better with the spacers!

That's what I thought, I'll be getting the car in the air on Saturday so will have a look then. Thanks man!

Then I tried on the 25mm spacers at the front as opposed to 15mm..
*
25mm -*
*
15mm -*
*
I like the 25mm spacers but at the current height it's too far out and I can't turn lol and it started raining so I thought I'll stick to 15mm's and raise it another time!
*
Then gave it an obligatory wash!
*
Next on the to do list is -*
Clutch (Possibly flywheel)
Timing Chain Tensioner*
Discs and Pads all round + Brake fluid change and lines
Swap rear tires over from the MV1's (225.35's as I currently have 225/40's on the rear of the Keskins)
*
Dependent on how it is mechanically then cosmetically -*
Raise the front, fit 25mm spacers at the front.
Measure up and sort for some sort of spacers at the back to have it equal to the front
Facelift rear boot lights
Respray front Kidney Grilles properly - or source a chrome set and leave them chrome
*
Drive and enjoy!
looks good! looks much lower in your latest update. how come you're raising it?
Thanks buddy. I think I'm following you on Instagram! Your car is a beauty.
I can't hack this static life haha! Not with my current commute to uni anyway. So I want to go up enough to fit the 25mm spacers at the front to make the front 8.5J ET10 and then use the 15mm spacers at the back to make it 10J ET20 for some more poke and a more sensible height. I'll upload a picture in a moment to show the height from the floor.
