I thought Id post something positive about keeping the car and making it a bit nicer, but you just seem to want to have a pop at everything? :roll eyes:

Anyway, B5 RS4 front discs are £800 a pair and rears are £600. Thats not including pads for either!

My local wheel place has an offer on for January for only £160, tints about £300 and £3-400 for a remap.
Sorted!

Sparky68 · 01-06-2014, 04:26 AM

How am I having a pop at everything? Was simply quoting what you had previously said!

dest · 01-06-2014, 04:30 AM

I agree that coilovers are expensive, which is why I said maybe.
I certainly wouldn't buy any cheap crap made from recycled chinese coke cans off ebay

I had Eibach Pro Street S on my S4, so would probably go for them, but as they're £900 its definitely a big maybe at the moment!
A lot of things Id rather spend it on first.
The other mods Ive mentioned are all cheap enough but will make a nice difference.

Just booked the wheels in for Monday

Sparky68 · 01-06-2014, 04:31 AM

At least you will do it properly, that's the important thing.

dest · 01-06-2014, 04:34 AM

Oh yeah, always!
Been messing about with cars for long enough to of learnt that the hard way many many years ago.
Do it once, do it right. (And pay once too!)

Sparky68 · 01-06-2014, 04:51 AM

Just in the process of getting new dampers for mine not sure which to get though, looking at the Koni STR T and Bilstein B6

My biggest hate is going to be sorted asap (the wheels!), will probably go for anthracite and get rid of the horrible diamond cut face!
Ive just ordered some LED's for the angel eyes.
Other plans include a remap, light window tint, front bumper splitters and maybe some coil overs.
Regretably I sold the 335 exhaust stuff, but I can get that again at some point, but will probably leave it as it is.

This pic is what is spurring me on at the moment!

I think that car has a M3 front end now.

I am wanting to do something similar to the picture above with my touring!

Icekube · 01-06-2014, 07:39 AM

I've got some Carbon splitters for sale

(and a matching rear diffuser!)

dest · 01-06-2014, 09:15 AM

I'm going to go colour coded splitters I think, but have had an eye on your thread!
Feel free to PM an offer for the fronts, I might be tempted...

Frobius · 01-06-2014, 03:31 PM

Roof wrap!!

dest · 01-06-2014, 03:44 PM

No chance, I hate stuff like that!

Be sure about the colour coded splitters. I went that route and wished I'd not. Get them on and photoshop it or wrap them in red so you can go back if needed.

dest · 01-11-2014, 06:04 AM

The wheels are done! Very pleased with them, I'll get a few pics once they're on

Looking nice.

CapnCook · 01-11-2014, 07:32 AM

The wheels look great, I've got to be honest I think your car looks great and I love CSL rims (I even had them on my E46) but was not a fan of the diamond cut look at all.

When I was looking for an E91 a few weeks ago you actually send me the link to yours for sale, and my very first thought was "hmmm....I wonder if I could spray those rims grey or something".

It will make a huge difference to your car! Looking forward to seeing them fitted!! Well done!

dest · 01-11-2014, 07:45 AM

I hate diamond cut and always have.
They came on the car and I always planned on getting them sorted eventually

dest · 01-11-2014, 08:06 AM

Not got much time today to get some better shots, but here's a taster

CapnCook · 01-11-2014, 08:11 AM

Looks Fantastic!

dest · 01-11-2014, 10:13 AM

Got a couple of better shots

David c · 01-11-2014, 11:07 AM

That looks a lot better mate.

Frobius · 01-11-2014, 11:21 AM

MUCH better, mate! Didn't want to say before but the old diamond cut things didn't look right - to the point they looked cheap. These look the bollex!

dest · 01-11-2014, 01:04 PM

Im not offended don't worry, I always HATED the diamond cuts and will always be the first to say they look horrible!
I always had it in my head at some point to get them sorted.

Remember, these are the same wheels, not new ones!
Just shows how much difference the finish can make to how a wheel looks
