@ sean its a max velocity rep that i had done in carbon! and thanks for the rest of the comments guys!
another update
had the car in the body shop getting a few niggles and a big keyed scratch sorted! and having the mirrors sprayed! (basically got half the car reprayed!) got it back this morning and am a happy man just hope no one decides it looked better keyed again now!

a few pics of the mirrors fitted purposely left the front bumper out of the pic as the carbon lip should be on tommorrow!

Hi!

I'm wondering on the size of the ACS mirrors (the mirror glass in perticular). Are they larger then M3 ones or not?

I was thinking about the M3 mirrors for my (whell, our) project, but my wife says they are too small and can't see anything behind the car. So I was thinking about the ACS ones as they look to be somewhere between stock and M3 in size. Meanwhile we've had the OEM mirrors painted the color of the car (custom mix) so we'll be using those for now, but you never know what the future brings.

Nice E36! E36's just keep getting better and better, but this is one of my favorites

thanks for the comments guys it makes it all feel worth it

when tightening up the brace i went ott and snapped a thread on the top mount!
they were only the standard ones and were on the list of things to do anyway (not at the top! )

anyway i went for some adjustable ones so if i fancy some more camber i can!

not been on in a while but recently i've had my steering wheel retrimmed and some extra padding added plus i added some carbon fibre inserts to carry on the theme
overall its a nice improvement and feels a lot more modern!

Wheel looks great! A nice steering wheel adds so much to driving...
Is it me or why does the carbon on the middle console look weird in the pics??

its because i got it off ebay and the guy that had done it didnt use a u.v resistant resin so its now gone cloudy!
but the guy that did the rest of my carbon is doing me a new one right now!

fitted one of ian's (alpina527) BBTB's today
not had chance to give it a boot and see if it makes any difference but every little helps!
heres a pic for comparison



also got another piece of mirage service reset cover thanks to amar dhillon so cheers mate only need a couple more bits to complete the set now!



as per always any comments good or bad are welcomed!

looking mint as hell. how much boost you running? i imagine 7 or 8 pounds. find out if your motor can handle more, then just throw a small pulley on her. I know i am looking for a smaller one for my mini

i already have a smaller pulley on it! i've never tested it but from what i've read this pulley takes it up to 10-12 psi there is a smaller one still but that is 15+psi which apparently needs meth injection etc
i think my injectors are pretty maxed out now though! so need to look at upgrading them!
