New-ish owner

Post by Singh111s » Mon Jul 22, 2013 10:00 pm

Hi all,

I've lurked here enough so thought I'd better chip in and say hello... After all, you lot are responsible for the first set of mods on the M! They are, aero skirts, genuine CSLs which have been painted shadow chrome and stubby. I know that is a bit samey, but I like the look. :P

Next set of mods will include lowering springs and then the most important...driver tuition 8) . Also toying with the idea of poly bushes although I don't want to make the ride harder. Hmmmm.

Anyway, here is a pic...no idea why the front tyres look huge. They are the usual 235/35 on the 19 inch wheel.

I hope that works. Always been crap at sorting hosting of pics! If that doesn't work, any help appreciated.

Cheers

It could be my laptop ... But zooming on the image ... I think these may not be genuine csls.....

Can you post an up close pic??

Not in that shade unless they've been re painted. They do look like genuine BBS though.

Great looking car dude. Especially the colour! :thumbsup:

Thanks fella.

I had them painted as soon as I got them. I'm satisfied that they're real- all the "prints" check out and they had the BBS stamped on the back with recesses. Had a look online for the things to look for. Phew!

I was half-minded to stick the OE wheels back on but no need to now. Think I'll be getting rid of those now so will stick a post up on the FS section at the weekend.

Cheers
