Very nice Mike, love the colour and it looks much more aggressive lowered !

You have to get the rear windows tinted also for the full effect to match the black kidney vents etc !!!

But a very cool looking car.

Looking Good Mike......

You need some spacers on to fill the arches up a bit.

10mm - 12mm

nice project mike

does the bc set up come as a true coilover in the rear or is the damper and spring still separate. they look damn good value imo be interesting to see what they are like when used in anger

cheers

yeah the rear is sepperate spring and damper but seems to work really well and has a lot of ajustment the spring ajusts and you can ajust the bottom of the damper to keep the damper at full length.

Right on with the project of the m3 now ive deciced to sort this car out to how i wont it.
ive had the car remapped and seems fine.
ive now fitted a front carbon fibre front splitter with removable fin plates from a company in taiwan.
The fit was very good no cutting or shaving. ive now ordered a carbon fibre csl trunk spoiler so when that arrives hope it fits as well. some pics

Met bealo on saturday at the trackday at snetterton and picked the next part of the project from him that his mum had reminded him he had a exhaust in the shed.
which this should save quite a bit of weight and i hope give a bit of noise.

next is to source a set of maybe cobra suzuka seats which come in grey and black so not to mess with the interior to much and match the grey leather . all the best mike

Looking promising Mike. I like the splitter but I'm not a fan of the corner extensions, sorry. The Cobra Suzuka seats are superb, but try them in a car rather than a showroom if you can. The sides are very high which makes getting in quite awkward in a road car and the head restraints can cause a few issues for visibility when you're trying to take a quick glance over your shoulder (i.e overtaking on the motorway and checking your blindspot first.) Pretty sure that Jamie @ GBH in Colchester has these in his Pulsar if that was of any help to you.

This would have to be my ideal daily driver if I had the cash. Well done Mike. A quality car being modified with quality bits.
