thanks guys

just a quick shot i took of the mirrors and a bit of the bonnet to show how they match:


and alsooo, i bought these:

quite strange i know, but i love the design of these wheels... i will pick them up in a week or so and run them as my winters (hopefully they can fit over 335i brakes, i know only certain 17s can).... and then when i buy an e36 m3, throw them on that.... can't wait!

[vishvx]

Great job!
Came back even harder than before, love what you've done!

[AWBimmer]

Nice wheels man! Super retro!!!
Car's coming together nicely dude shame won't see it in the flesh, smash your exam out and we'll meet soon!

[Greg330]

Old school throwing stars! Interested to see if they fit...

[AnthonyR]

oh the finish is 100! but the fit is around 75 at best haha... tbh i think i have one for an actual m3 so they are a bit longer... after a lot of manipulations i got it to squeeze down more than it should and bubble up a tiny bit in the middle so it lines up a bit better.... the extension over the headlights make it look like eyelids though... hard to explain... a person who isn't told about the fitting wouldnt notice it's a little off but i certainly do... grown to like it

[lolololol]

I agree - I didn't want to say anything but I thought from your pictures that the bonnet is a terrible fit, like you say it's too long and the gap where the wing meets bonnet is way off. I was surprised so many members thought it looked good - I do like the finish on it but the problem is that it's for a different car ;-)

However if you are happy then that's all that matters.

with a non-oem part, the fit is never gonna be 100... i've seen the bonnet designed for non-m e92s and they seem to be a little too short, it leaves this gap between itself and the bumper... i wouldnt say it's a terrible fit though, i'm sure in person you'd appreciate it a bit more....

[lolololol]

Sorry mate it's a bad fit (for me) but who gives a shit what I think anyway :-)

[Sparky68]

Wow a quality comeback from the dead achu, looks great, well done

[JesseJames]

Get that photoshoot asap!!!

[Moe_]

Achu the cars looking great havent seen it in harrow so far.

I love how the e93 modding game has moved on in the past 3/4 years. Some great new mods.

[Greg330]

Just re-read this whole thread (hard at work again!)
What an amazing read and awesome comeback! Dude your car looks mega, absolutly stunning.

Achu all I can say mate is well done and what a spirit to come back what those b******ds did, good on ya

I'm now completely inspired to sort my car out

[Josh1a1h]

Blue Demon Eye even when the lights are off

[Theivz]

car has ridiculous road presence! awesome modding mate

[achu]

thanks for the kind comments guys! sorry i've been away for so long, got a new job and it's taking all my time... tryna get a service sorted for my car and get it ready for Gaydon...

a little update:
- the front is going about 5 to 10mm lower
- a full service is going to take place, and this is going to be hardcore lol: engine oil, gearbox oil, diff oil, oil filter, pollen filter and air filter, brake/clutch fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, spark plugs and serpentine belt....
- m3 arms are going on, mine seem to be failing so might as well...
- front is getting cambered in a little (m3 settings so -1 degrees probably)
- also, getting the sounds tuned and the subs replaced... nothing wrong with the JL 10" W6s, but I'm feeling a change... found some rare TDXs a friend is unwillingly selling to me lool...
- hopefully the brakes are fine, but if they're fvcked by the arms then ima get some drilled brake disks

and that is all... sorry, i havent really had time to do a proper photoshoot but i thought i'd at least show my photos from the roadtrip lol:

on the boat


driving through MONACO


parking up in Monaco with the fireworks in the background, it was pretty special...

a few rolling shots, i know you guys love them




and finally, the journey computer...


We hit Amsterdam, Brussels, Luxembourg City, The Alps, Milan, MONACO and Paris in 9 days... was fvcking amazing

hope you guys are happy with the update... the proper photoshoot will happen soon, i promise!
