Its a lovely motor. I think you should have left
- Performance grills on the car - Left the LCI ignition switch OEM (as red colour is not making any theme...) Other than that it is a clear example why LCI E90 looks better than pre-LCI E90.

Many thanks! Oh don't worry, 18s wont be touching the car. Ive got a choice of either powder coating the 313s or, thanks to my new job, fantastic discounts on a new set of wheels. Was thinking maybe M359s or even F10 M5 reps. Something OEMish with a nice concave look.

Car is looking fantastic! Not tempted to go for the Performance side skirts to match the front? Would really pull it all together in my opinion.
Cant wait to see where you're going with this |

So I decided against refurbing the 313s and bought myself a beautiful set of 19" M359s with a 9j front and 10j rear. To compliment these stunning wheels they have brand new Toyo T1-Sports all round. Lovely and quiet, comfortable and bloody grippy!
Enough chit chat... here are the goods.... |

Welcome to the world of aggressive wheels.
313 wheels have their own decency and appeal. But when your car is dropped, wheels from M car will defo make it aggressive. Well done and its looking so good.

With regret this is going to be the final update.
First up, I sent the speedo off for an LED / M3 conversion. I have been trying to get a nice finish with carbon wrap from my trims but in all honesty, Carbon vinyl does look pretty crap no matter how tidy a job. I decided to have my trims hydro dipped and was really pleased with the outcome. I also changed my mind with the red starter button surround and opted for something a bit different again. And to compliment the styling tweeks; I decided to go for a DPF and EGR delete followed by a tweeked map courtesy of Celtic Tuning in Cornwall (Fantastic service), now making a healthy 330hp. The car is so smooth with its power delivery and effortlessly pulls in every gear. So that is it for the E90. Such a fantastic and beautiful car to own and drive. My attentions have now turned to a new project; one that I have been wanting to tackle for a long time now. An E30 318is... needs a fair amount of work but it's a challenge I'm will to take. I've also been toying with the idea of selling the E90 and buying an E46 M3 again. But at the moment I'm not sure. We will have to see! |

It's great that you're pleased with the dip, but personally I'd be taking it back to have it done again, especially the centre bit.
Lines aren't at all straight, but the biggest sin is that the ashtray doesn't go in the same direction! Other than that, car looks perfect. |
