35iS - project update

[stuartinzg]

Yes I thought so, now it is OEM+ !

The brakes, diffuser and wing mirrors are ready to go back together, these turned out excellent too, love how the colour turned out. No PIC of front yet. Next is the cquartz finest ceramic application on the paint, wheels, glass and interior detail. Should pickup tomorrow with a bit of luck.

This is looking really really good Loving the new painted bits, in fact there isn't anything you have done that isn't to like. 8)

Can I have some more info on the M4 tips please.

Front brakes are on ! Ferrari gold clip looks good

Exhaust done, diffuser going back on now

Brakes and pipes look fantastic, if one is keeping stock calipers etc then this is a perfect look for them IMO.

Great job, subtle and stylish.

Diffuser is on, will take a walk around video tomorrow. Wash now in prep for the ceramic protection to go on.

Wheels protected

BBS wheels are like boobs, no matter how many you see you will always look at them and get excited.

Wash

Diffuser and pipe shot, sorry for the bad lighting

Detailer driving it ready for protection

The mirrors and diffuser colour goes a treat with those rims, that looks fantastic!

Here we go !

Camera man was having a problem taking a good picture because of the reflection, that is how good it is !

Well worth doing it all, great result.

I'm loving those X6 tips ! , cant wait for final pics !!!

How much were the tips ?

Don't ask... £45-£55 (factoring in exchange rate) each side plus cost of doing the mods ! bit daft really when I can't see them most of the time ! But I really didn't want to spend £1500 on a new exhaust when this is loud enough and adequate - especially when the mid cats are removed.

I dont think they are that expensive , have you got any links to where you bought them ?

It must be a nightmare for them polishing cars with the dust in the air from their yard.

That looks incredible ! You must be delighted with the results. The car looks better than factory fresh.

 

[Z4M-2006]

That does look ace...

 

[john-e89]

Wow..oh wow. Fantastic, 100% worth it.

The painted parts blend in so well with the stock car. I'd like to see it in the flesh but the pics look great.

Thanks guys, when are you all modding yours?

 

[KERMIT1970]

Thanks guys, when are you all modding yours?

Still 2 and a bit years of new warranty left so can't do much, funds won't allow either, however if I manage to keep hold of mine my thinking was some M 4 wheels with MPSS rubber, Brembo 6 pot front 4 pot rear BBK, M4 seats, larger intercooler and that's pretty much it, doubt a new diff as I can't drive it hard enough here to get the benefit.

Oh that and nicking all your styling cues.... :wink:
