Funny you should say that, it is now on the list of things I want to get along with a 3D front splitter.

thejimreaper · 09-30-2012, 04:18 PM

Well I havent updated this for a long while so here goes.

Finally got the spacers and wheel refurbishment sorted. Also fitted and LCi rear diffuser.

Stickered the car up and took it to France not long after for the 24hour race. Great weekend with some mates in their cars drinking, BBQ'ing and watching the racing

Only other update since has been my black badge on the back!!

Still got lots of things planned like coilovers and an LCi conversion on the rear but money has been going on the house and holidays recently.

I did take my ma out in the car last weekend and she loved it. I convinced her she needed a BMW in her life and she went out yesterday and bought this

Pretty nice spec and a huge improvement on her previous Honda CRV. Just need to get my wife off the idea of a '12 Beetle and onto a 1 series and I am sorted!!

More to come . . . . . . . . . . . .

Haha you know it, different strokes for different folks. Clean car my friend

Hartge · 01-21-2013, 02:34 PM

very nice, and those bbs rims will look sweet

thejimreaper · 01-21-2013, 02:53 PM

Thanks guys, I hope so. I'm running spacers at the moment but will see if I need them once these are fitted. I use it daily so don't want it to aggressive.

e90Nate · 01-21-2013, 03:40 PM

beautiful wheels! cannot wait to see them mounted

Alen E90 · 01-22-2013, 04:45 PM

your new setup looks absolutely GORGEOUS

cant wait to see these bad boys mounted on your E90..keep us posted with the pics please!!!

btw your style 313's looked great and im really gonna miss seeing them on your car but nonetheless your new wheels look AWESOMEEEEE

j2m · 01-22-2013, 04:49 PM

That's gonna look really good!

thejimreaper · 01-22-2013, 05:31 PM

Cheers guys, 11hours and she shall have her new rims on and shall go to the ball!!

I will post pics when they are on, probably gonna need 5mm spacers on the rear from my calculations to achieve the same look as I had with the 313's. Will get some shots up ASAP though for those that are interested.

thejimreaper · 01-23-2013, 09:48 AM

So the new wheels are on. Still need to play with them a bit to get the fitment right, probably 5-10mm spacers in the rear but I lilke the look so far.

Will post some more once I have sorted it.

remmib · 01-23-2013, 11:27 AM

Nice, titanium finish?

thejimreaper · 01-23-2013, 11:30 AM

Certainly are.

cuiter23 · 01-23-2013, 11:46 AM

Nice car! I just have a question, are those Alpine's stock?

e90Nate · 01-23-2013, 11:49 AM

looks good, get some full body shots up now!

thejimreaper · 01-23-2013, 11:57 AM

The Apline setup was a retro fitted by BMW. You can buy the whole lot through your dealer which includes the speakers/tweeters/amp etc.

As for the full body shots Nate, it's dark here now! Will get some decent ones ASAP.
