I'm in love - Help Needed
Okay so my car comes back Friday from the door repairs.
Having spent some time surfing around the net I have decided that I truely love this vorsteiner hood, those grills just (to me) look so hot! As I have yet to find any boot lips that I like (front lips are not practical as I have a killer driveway and a Mrs that touch parks) I'm thinking the hood would be nice to change. What are people's thoughts given my car is Montego? Anyway I think there was another forum member looking at one of these as well, if there is and they are still interested perhaps they could shoot me a PM as we could perhaps combine 2 shipments into 1 and save a few $ on shipping. |

i vote do it, but that being said, it is an agressive look, that may look out of place on a car that hasn't had many mods done

+1 to most of these replies.
Keep in mind the vorsteiner look is very popular among E46 drivers. The vents pretty much say "hey look... I drive a modded car!" But would look pretty funny if it were the ONLY mod done. I'd say, get PROcede and big wheels to match that bad boy! I'd paint the whole thing except for the vents themselves, as the contrast would look killer with Montego. If you are truly adventurous install as is.

Love the hood....but I agree, I think you need other mods to go with it. ie, a nice set of after market rims, etc

Do you have the dimentions & weight of the packaging, I have a Fedex account so may be able to save on freight. |

Hi Wopalx - try Jlevisw.com. Just purchased wheels from them and they were excellent. Email nick@jlevi.com. They sell the Vorstiener hood. Here's the link -
http://jlevistreetwerks.com/store/BM...2823041b00ce5d They will also quote freight via Baxglobal. Cost 1/2 the price to airfreight with them compared to Fedex. If the total invoice value that accompanies the goods is less than $A1000 including shipping you pay no duty or gst. Good luck - can't wait to see it on your car!

They already do get modded a fair bit! Most of the owners don't feature them in magazines though so you don't really hear too much about them.
Bavariacars in Sydney build the toughest BM's in Australia if you ever want your eyes opened on modified BMW's go check out the turbo M3's and various turbo/supercharger installs they've done and their own 2002 racecar that uses a M12 turbocharged F1 engine along with one of their customers wild M Coupe that drove to the drag strip, ran a 10 second pass and then drove home. |

Have decided to hold on the hood at the moment, would realistically need to get other bits to go with it and am a little concerned about ultimate resale. Besides my mrs would go a tad nuts.
Have however ordered some Bilstein PSS9's and a couple of other things. Still investigating the LSD issues so hope to have a solution to that soon as well. |
