Hi guys, thought id join up after coming along to the Stanceworks meet at Gaydon the other week (was riding shotgun with Mex) was good meeting a few of you and seeing some awesome cars in the metal
First car was 6n2 polo which I got looking like this after a year and a half
So my second/current car is a 1999 E36 323i convertible in my favourite colour ever....Techno violet.
has all the M-sport goodies lovely 2.5l straight 6 and totally unmolested by one lady owner....until i got my hands on it
so the plan was to create my own little 'Cali-Cruiser', something clean, stupidly low, and some awesome wheels...not a racecar, with polybushed everything and spanking shiny bolts straight from the dealers...as you can tell, not a purist, but defo a beemer boy!
so didn't waste much time with the car, got some SPAX RSX coilovers on there, and dropped on my fave wheels for the e36 17" borbet As. and in a fitment made for the e36..... 8.5jx17 up front et15 and 10jx17 at the back et20
so less words and il let the pics do the talking
day i bought it
grills and splitter
coilies
fronts on
clean mean and low
now the wheels when i picked them up were in a state, about 10 layers of dulux on them, so gave them over to the one and only Dips to work his magic
before...
and after
Diamond cut dishes, custom lexus pearly white centres
first fit
yellow fogs
camber adjustable top mounts
ambers all round and chrome grills back on
delensed lights
fitted a 18button OBC after having an analogue clock
in my mates garage with mex,
and the pic above, made me want to go low! max neg camber on the plates, and helpers out...
next was interior. picked up mexs old vaders, and went over them with gliptone and a bit of dye
before...
after...
due to a recent altercation with the bloody police, i was forced to remove the 215/40s off the 10s, and flare my arches to accommodated 235/40s....and i much prefer the look as it fills the arches much better. so lowered the rear as much as it would go without getting rubbing issues on the rear bumper :s and brought the front down a tad more, and this is its current stance
not as low as that beautiful red 'vert on Borbet As, but for South London roads, and driving it every single day, I think im low enough....for now, esp with mex as a mate lol (and i have the 10s hehehe)
Soooo, hope you enjoyed so far. had her about 7 months so far, so a few more bits to come before im ready for a new project. future plans include fitting my 3.15 diff, fittin my new mirrors...something a bit different and constant stancing!! lol
